Using free speech to free minds.
You're listening to The David Knight Show.
As the clock strikes 13, it's Monday, the 30th of October, Year of Our Lord 2023.
Well, today we're going to take a look at the relentless march towards World War III,
what Colonel, retired Colonel McGregor has to say, as well as what the new speaker has to say about World War.
He is rapidly changing as he has become speaker.
We're also going to take a look at the insanity with the climate core, but we will have in
the third hour with us the CEO of Promise Keepers.
You may remember this as a decades-old men's ministry
now being canceled by many churches
for being too gender-specific.
Yeah, so we'll be right back.
Stay with us. Well, we have, this was sent to me by listener John.
It's actually an activist post by Brandon Smith, who I've interviewed in the past.
And I agree with him that the wider war will bring inevitable attempts at martial law.
And of course, he's not unaware.
He knows exactly that we have had already training for martial law.
That's what we went through for the last two and a half, three years,
was training for martial law.
And nobody in the government or the media was alarmed about that then or now.
And of course, nothing to be done to change any of that.
That's not on the radar of our new speaker,
but it should be.
And of course, we also have Tucker Carlson
warning us that abrupt change is coming.
Tucker Carlson, on the other hand,
unlike Brandon Smith, Tucker Carlson does not
acknowledge that we had martial law
starting three years ago.
As a matter of fact, he helped to move the Overton window.
He was complicit and compliant when it was being done by Trump.
And so that is the question.
Are conservatives going to be complicit in this, compliant in this coming martial law
and the wars that they want to ramp up everywhere?
How are we going to face this? take a look first at at europe europe is facing civil war says the gate stone
institute and we could see this in the riots and that's why when i we had the the attack in israel
happened on october the 7th i was gone that Monday. And then Tuesday, I talked about
the first thing that I was concerned about were the riots that we see happening in the U.S. and in
Europe. The same justifications being used embracing the terrorism of Hamas. And again, this is a separate issue than Israel's retaliation
and whether or not they're doing that in a justified way.
These are two separate questions.
It's also a separate question as to what was going on in Gaza.
That's a whole new thing to embrace this kind of retail terror.
And that's what it was terror and mass murder to embrace that as a tactic and that was what was done by blm black lying marxist in this
country as well as antifa as well as the palestinian groups or the muslim groups throughout
america and europe They embraced that.
And they will embrace that against you.
They see you as a colonizer as well.
Same rhetoric, same people, same tactics to be applied to you.
And so we see in Vienna, London, Paris, Berlin, Brussels, dozens of other European cities,
demonstrations in support of Palestine were organized. Hate-filled slogans, justifying violence, justifying violence on the part of Hamas,
and of course, justifying their future violence.
And anybody who wanted to try to stop any of these so-called demonstrations,
mostly peaceful, right?
Until they weren't.
Anybody who wants to stop that, then you are a colonizer.
And you are the enemy.
Henry Kissinger said that we made a very serious mistake in terms of opening the borders.
No, the serious mistake was made in terms of letting people like Kissinger and Klaus Schwab and all these globalists run our countries.
I know we didn't trust them.
Other people did trust them.
That was the mistake.
Kissinger was the mistake.
And I remember when Nixon was in office, theoretically, and Kissinger was president.
And I remember how Republicans made excuses for that or admired that or whatever.
A literal war criminal.
In the hours following the revelation of the butchery committed by Hamas,
a wave of racist violence and attacks began in Europe against Jews and against anybody who tried to stop these violent protesters.
They went very rapidly from BLM to PLO, didn't they?
In most Western European countries,
support for terrorism and incitement for hatred and violence against non-Muslims
have gone from being offenses to being supported
in the name of diversity and multiculturalism.
As this article from Zero Hedge points out,
no sane person, according to Thucydides,
wants the worst form of war,
which is civil war.
And it's for this reason that Europe needs to better understand what's been done to it
by people like Kissinger and his ilk.
Europe doubtless intended to do good.
I don't think so.
I don't think it was ever good intentions on the part of
Kissinger and Soros and the UN and Swab. I don't think it was ever good intentions.
The people in Europe, the people in Europe naively believe this stuff, just like you got people
naively believing in the climate change. Oh, I think we're doing good by banning food and meat and dairy and travel and all the rest of this stuff.
A lot of virtue signaling cows.
Part of the herd mentality.
These are the same people who went along with the lockdowns and they'll go along with the next thing that's coming.
Because believe me, there is something else coming.
It'll be who knows what the MacGuffin will be.
But it'll be who knows what the MacGuffin will be, but it'll be the same tactics and it'll be the same end goal that they've always had, regardless of what the excuse is.
Europeans may have imagined that these people were fleeing tyranny, but in fact, they were bringing tyranny with them.
You understand they're bringing tyranny with them.
That's why the borders are open
in America and in Europe. It is betrayal by our traitorous leaders, quote unquote,
who betrayed us for the last, since 2020. They've been betraying us. And so he says, well, there's three measures that we need to do.
We need a moratorium on immigration.
Well, good luck with that.
We've known about this for quite some time.
And even though you have people like Obama and Biden wanting to go to war with everybody,
they will continue to allow people to come in from those same countries that
they're attacking unjustly and creating terrorists there.
Leaving the European Convention on Human Rights would be another thing for Europe to do.
But, you know, it really is too late.
There are so many people already in Europe in terms of swamping the population.
Again, I keep going back to that Italian island
where they had 6,000 residents.
And now in a very short period of time, just a few months,
they had 18,000 people invade their island without permission,
just coming here to live.
That's an invasion.
That is colonizing, isn't it?
Aren't they the colonists?
No, no, no. The colonists are the italians who are originally there that's uh what harvard and these other people say but it's too
late because they're not having any kids um italy is dying they are unwilling to have children and
a family and in many, they are unable to.
You know, there are physical things being done to us by these people in power.
But there's also mental things that are being done to us.
People are told that they don't want to have a family.
They want to be lovers of themselves.
Focus on yourself.
What about your career?
What about your life, your liberty, your money, your this, your that?
And they don't realize.
I see the same thing to a limited degree even with schooling.
People say, well, I don't want to put my kids in the government child care thing that they've got going that they call schools.
Because, you know, I want a career for a while at least.
And they just get in the way.
It's so convenient I can drop them off and let the government institutions raise my children.
We don't want children either in this country.
And we don't want the responsibility, but we don't realize that,
and I'm just as guilty of it as other people, delaying having kids and stuff.
Some of it was unwilling and some
of it was unable you know once we changed our mind we were unable so when you look at this
um it is a combination of those two things it's lies and literal poison poisonous lies and literal
poison and uh the population is imploding but the
people that are coming in are having lots and lots and lots of kids and they are going to
take over the country by demographics just an german defense minister sees danger of war in
europe says the military and society quote must become fit for war said pistorius well Well, maybe it's also too late for that.
Who knows?
Meanwhile, U.S. Special Forces in Israel have been allegedly slaughtered,
according to retired Colonel McGregor.
And he did this towards the end of the week with Tucker Carlson.
A number of American soldiers actively serving in Israel and other bases in the Middle East have been injured or purportedly been killed in the line of duty.
After recent drone strikes were launched against U.S. forces in Syria and Iraq, allegedly the death of some soldiers during a failed mission.
And said at least two one-way way attack drones in other words suicide drones
um you know like um they now have their suicide bombers are now drones
um one way attack drones targeted military base in southern syria, why do we have a military base in southern Syria?
We were not invited by the Syrians.
We invaded Syria.
The presence of that military base there is unjustified.
That, by the way, happened during Trump.
So don't tell me that Trump didn't start any wars.
He escalated it at the very least.
And of course, he also did not end any wars either.
He could have ended Afghanistan.
Could have done an orderly withdrawal.
Instead, it was chaotic when we got thrown out.
When it collapsed, there was never any intention to get out.
One of the drones was shot down.
All the wounded personnel were returned to duty, said CENTCOM.
On the same day, another four American personnel suffered minor injuries, said CENTCOM,
during two separate drone attacks against the U.S. and coalition forces.
But there's speculation that some U.S. soldiers have already been killed,
and the Department of Defense is unwilling to disclose that information.
Here's what Colonel McGregor said.
We don't have the means to rapidly ship a large force of 80 to 100,000 troops on the ground into the region,
which means that we're reliant on special forces.
And right now, 2,000 Marines, perhaps 2,000 special forces and special operations forces.
That's not going to make much of a dent, he said.
And then he continued with this.
As we've seen quite recently within the last 24 hours or so, some of our special ops forces and Israeli special ops forces
went into Gaza to reconnoiter, to plan for where they might want to go to free hostages and make
an impact. And they were shot to pieces and took heavy losses, as I understand it.
Yes, absolutely.
He went on to emphatically warn that the U.S. is headed towards complete collapse
and headed into yet another war that the country will not only not win,
but will suffer a great deal of casualties and expense in order to fight it.
He highlighted how the U.S. is facing some catastrophic economic problems
through a collapsing bond market and treasury yields.
Because, you know, this is all, we can do whatever we want.
Because we can print money out of thin air.
So, he said the Biden administration is driving the U.S. into Armageddon.
Risks a military conflagration with Iran, Turkey, Russia, and others.
He says it looks like the chosen destination is indeed Armageddon.
Yes.
They're not risking war.
That is the purpose.
That's been the purpose for a very long time.
And we still have people like Lindsey Graham out there.
Iran, if you escalate this war, we are coming for you.
Who's the we?
We?
Lindsey?
Lindsey and who else?
Who's Lindsey going to be leading into battle?
Nobody.
He's going to be pushing people from behind, so to speak.
In another interview on London Real, McGregor made it clear that he shares the view from Hamas that Hamas is a terrorist organization has to be
eliminated he says everyone who looked this is McGregor everyone who looked at what Hamas did
agrees that they have to be eradicated I haven't run into anybody who disagrees with that he said
and that includes for example King Abdullah of Jordan General Sisi in Egypt feels the same way
even Erdogan who has changed his view, spoke against Hamas initially.
I don't think anyone disputes that.
In other words, in Turkey, in Jordan, in Egypt, Hamas has got to go.
But see, the danger is, and I've said this from the very beginning,
to not make a distinction between the government of Israel and the Jewish people there, the civilians.
To not make a distinction between the Hamas leadership and these terrorists,
and the millions of civilians that are there.
Just as it is a mistake to not make a distinction between this CIA puppet Biden,
and the American people, and many Republicans as well.
Same thing with them.
McGregor added, he said, the problem is that the campaign to eradicate Hamas
has rapidly turned into a campaign to effectively eradicate all of the Gaza population.
And that's not going to go down well with the rest of the region.
So whatever moral ground the Israelis have is quickly eroding.
He said that if the kind of scenario that Lindsey Graham threatens plays out,
we're going to go into Iran.
We'll be faced, he said, with a global war.
If the United States enters this conflict as a co-belligerent with Israel,
he said it's going to be very difficult for Russia and Turkey
not to also come into this fight against us
because they will not tolerate the sort of collective punishment
that Israel plans for Gaza.
And already as we send the military to there,
Erdogan in Turkey has said,
well, we might send, you know,
he hasn't done it yet.
And I don't know if he has the capability
to project power like that.
They have a military.
They could attack in other ways.
I guess it's a really good thing
that Dr. Oz didn't get into the Senate.
Loyal to Turkey.
Anyway, endorsed by Trump, by the way.
Furthermore, the combat veteran from the first Iraq war, McGregor,
went on to explain that Secretary of State Blinken
and other decision makers at the top of the U.S. government
seemed to be under misconception,
believing that the disparity between American military capacities
and those of their potential adversaries are similar to what they were in the early 1990s.
In other words, he was there with the first Iraq war.
This is not the same thing.
And again, the arrogance and the hubris and the pride of Biden.
We're not only the most powerful military in the world right now,
we're the most powerful military that's ever existed.
Like, wow.
If God doesn't strike that guy down and us with him,
it's just amazing to look at that arrogance.
McGregor says we're not the power that we were in 1991.
You have to look at the arsenal of missiles that Iran possesses,
and they can reach out 1,200 miles with great precision,
delivering very high explosive conventional warheads
that would do enormous damage,
destroying whole city blocks in places like Haifa and Tel Aviv.
But, um, again, uh,
perhaps as we look at this,
perhaps you could draw an analogy between world war two and the view of the battleship at that point in time,
thinking that the battleship was because it had been the preeminent weapon
before it was going to currently still be that way whereas it turned out to be the aircraft carrier
and perhaps it isn't the long-range missiles but perhaps it's suicide drones
this relentless persistent casualties of suicide drone attacks.
And this is taking asymmetric warfare to a whole new level.
Asymmetric warfare meaning, well, we've got these big intercontinental ballistic missiles and we've got aircraft carriers and tanks and jets and all the rest of the stuff
that Biden loves to brag about using on us as Americans if we don't turn in our guns.
And you look at asymmetric warfare as we've seen when we occupied Iraq and Afghanistan and other things like that.
The roadside bombs and all the rest of this stuff.
We could not prevail against
that. And I think now
with the drones and other things like that, it's going to be even more so that way
you're already seeing this a great deal in both on from both the Ukrainians as well as the Russians
but even more so with the Ukrainians necessity is the mother of invention especially during wartime
and you don't have to have something that's the cost millions or tens of millions of dollars in order to kill people.
It's pretty easy to do it.
If the U.S. bombed Iran, McGregor said all the bases that we have in Iraq and Syria would be targeted.
And this time they would target them accurately.
And the destruction would be wholesale.
He also warned the terrorist attacks at home could become manifest, saying that there
are many Hezbollah agents already inside the U.S. He said, furthermore, if the Israelis go into Gaza
and Hezbollah intervenes in the north, triggering an American attack upon Iran, he says, we'll end
up in a fight with Russia. Russia will not sit by quietly and watch Iran destroyed by U.S. air and naval power in the region.
And this would make American aircraft carriers and other warships in the eastern Mediterranean carrying many thousands of U.S. soldiers vulnerable to the Kinzhal missiles and other missiles, cruise missiles, hypersonic missiles that Russians have.
And I doubt seriously that at that point the Turks would be able to stay out.
He said the Turks are the de facto leaders of the Sunni Muslim world.
And they have the largest armed forces in the region.
They're in close proximity to Israel.
They could move forces south through Syria very rapidly, unimpeded.
So again, he says they could get it there.
So I'll defer to his judgment anyway he says i
encourage americans everywhere to listen to king abdullah of jordan and what he had to say
he said again the issue here that is pivotal is the issue of collective punishment
and mcgregor criticized blinken for saying that israel the U.S. were going to do whatever it takes to destroy Hamas
and clear disregard for international law
that demands the protection of innocent civilians in armed conflict.
And so what King Abdullah said
was he began by condemning the violence against civilians in Gaza.
He says it goes on to point out that the collective punishment
meted out to two million people was unacceptable, both under international law and for humanitarian reasons.
And so, again, at the very beginning, he says, we cannot justify what Hamas did.
Very different, however, than what these protesters in the streets are doing in the U.S. and Europe.
Not the same thing.
That's even more troubling
that they support the terrorism.
Addressing the crisis, King Abdullah said specifically,
I'm outraged and grieved by those acts of violence
waged against innocent civilians in Gaza
and the West Bank and in Israel.
The relentless bombing campaign underway in Gaza
as we speak is cruel and unconscionable on every level.
It is a collective punishment of a besieged and helpless people.
It is a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law.
It is a war crime.
And of course, we could see that it was going to go in this direction.
By the time I came back on Tuesday, that was already the talk of what they were going to do.
And I said, remember, for all the people out there
who were saying, well, I keep seeing that this is unprovoked,
not provoked, no, Israel, they said provoked this
in the way that they were treating the Palestinians.
I said, that's not the issue, whether it was provoked or not.
The issue is, was it proportional?
Was it an escalation?
Was it proportional? Was it an escalation? Was it criminal?
And to kill all the civilians in Gaza is also not proportional and also not justified.
Because Hamas is not the Gaza people.
Netanyahu and his government are not the Israeli people.
Just as Biden is not the American people and the CIA is not the American people. Netanyahu and his government are not the Israeli people, just as Biden is not the American people, and the CIA is not the American people, and Lindsey Graham is not the American
people. McGregor told Carlson that in America, that America's effort to stand at Israel's side
and help protect Israel, we have taken a different route, and we've cast moral turpitude to the side.
And we don't care how vile and degrading this is because now we once you
become invested in war you get that bloodlust how do you help israel without committing a war crime
against the palestinians and this is the problem with collective punishment he said this is a
problem with annihilating gaza and trying to sweep out its population.
That's unacceptable to us as Americans, he says.
And so, again, we see the attacks on the Syrian bases.
Even after the Pentagon has ordered airstrikes,
they have not been effective.
Asymmetric warfare.
Yeah, we are the big guys on the block.
There's never been a military that is as powerful as us, and we can do whatever we want to.
Oh, really?
Says a guy who basically got thrown out of Afghanistan.
It's chaotic thing.
Iran backed forces on Saturday and Sunday survived these attacks and continued the attacks by Biden's jets and continued to retaliate with the drone attacks on U.S. bases in Syria.
Again, why do we have bases in Syria. We had one false flag after the other during the
Trump administration, year after year.
And it
was always the argument by Newky, Haley, and
others to send boots, put boots on the ground.
Well, you know, we kept pushing back against it,
pushing back against it. Public opinion
did not support that.
And yet,
Trump did it anyway.
Or the people who actually run the government with him in front.
So again, Russian media reports of the fresh attacks calling the recent Pentagon airstrikes on Syria.
An unsuccessful bid to determine the Iranians.
And so just a reminder. This this has been about iran for a
very long time as wesley clark pointed out uh back in 2001 2002 after 9 11 about 10 days after 9 11 i
went through the pentagon and i saw secretary rumsfeld and and deputy secretary wolfowitz i
went downstairs just to say hello to some of the people on the
joint staff who used to work for me. And one of the generals called me and he said, sir, you got
to come in and talk to me a second. I said, well, you're too busy. He said, no, no. He says,
we've made the decision we're going to war with Iraq. This was on or about the 20th of September.
I said, we're going to war with Iraq? Why? He said, I don't know.
So I came back to see him a few weeks later. And by that time, we were bombing in Afghanistan. I
said, are we still going to war with Iraq? And he said, oh, it's worse than that. He said,
he reached over on his desk, he picked up a piece of paper. He said, I just,
he said, I just got this down from upstairs, meaning the secretary of defense office today. And he said, this is a memo that describes how
we're going to take out seven countries in five years, starting with Iraq and then Syria, Lebanon,
Libya, Somalia, Sudan, and finishing off Iran. I said, is it classified? He said, yes, sir. I said, well, don't show it to me.
Well, again, 20 years ago, right?
And a couple of years prior to that,
we had had the plans began to materialize to go to war with America,
with the federal government and the U.S. military
and the CIA and the rest of them to go to war with America, with the federal government and the U.S. military and the CIA and the rest of them to
go to war with America, not just with 9-11, but two months before 9-11, the first germ game
simulation with Fauci and CIA people and Johns Hopkins and funding from Bill Gates and so forth.
Dark winter, two months before 9-11, one week later, a false flag anthrax attack. Two months before 9-11, one week later, a false flag, anthrax attack. Two months after that, the model legislation sent out all the states to tell them what to do when they pulled this 2000 hoax on us that Trump was a part of.
And so here we are 20 years later after you see, you know, Wesley Clark saying, well, here's a plan.
They wait 20 years to execute their plans
they practice it they war game it they run through all the different combinations and that's where we
are right now took them 20 years of practice to run the pandemic war against us 20 years of practice
and now here we are to run the iranian war the Middle East war, all seven nations and so forth.
As Brandon Smith said, and I mentioned this at the beginning,
wider war will bring inevitable attempts at martial law in America.
And unlike Tucker Carlson, Brandon Smith is not hiding the fact
that they imposed martial law on us through Trump in 2020.
He doesn't call Trump out, of course.
Nobody wants to do that.
But he says, for years, I've heard people say that authoritarian controls in America
are tinfoil hat conspiracy theory and doom mongering.
And then the COVID agenda hit like a freight train.
And who was driving that freight train?
He who must not be named.
The Don.
Our constitutional Benedict Donald.
Our constitutional rights were no longer set in stone.
They're merely guidelines that government officials could bend or break in the name of public health safety.
Laws no longer had to be passed through a series of checks and balances.
Mandates could be implemented as if they were laws without public oversight
and enforced unilaterally, which is why I said when I was so disgusted
with Trump in 2020, I said, I'm not going to vote for that guy
or anybody who resided over this stuff.
Why would I vote for any of these elected officials when they turn the country
over to medical martial law to be run by bureaucrats?
And we haven't done anything to stop that or turn that around.
He said there was talk primarily among Democrats of severe punishment for
people who refuse a pointless COVID vaccines.
They want a vaccine passports.
They wanted prison time for those that spoke publicly against the Vax.
They wanted people's jobs taken away.
They wanted their children taken away.
They're even plans to build COVID detention centers to segregate and lock
up vaccine deniers.
You know, as a matter of fact, um, did I not put that in here?
Um, I will play it for you tomorrow then.
Um, yeah, I don't have that in here i forgot to put that in
the list and a video of what a woman went through with the uh the nasal swabs remember that
total humiliation that's what it was designed for humiliation domination of course there are
also some questions about really what was on the end of those swabs we saw they were like little spike things
it's like what's that about you know nanotech perfect way to poison people if
you want don't know what that was about but you know that that swabbing stuff it
was an act of a domination by these people are into domination, sadism, bondage,
domination, all the rest of this stuff.
That's what that was about, quite frankly.
They didn't even have to do that if they thought it was a virus.
And we know that because in the summer of 2021 in France,
they wanted to have the Cannes Film Festival.
And of course, you know, got to have the Cannes Film Festival. Of course, you know, got to have the Cannes Film Festival.
That's very important.
We have all of the elite influencers and movies and everything who are taking us into more and more disgusting areas.
They had to have that Cannes conference.
And so at the time, you know, just as we were rolling this thing out, supposedly it's some kind of dire emergency that have been going on for more than
a year and uh macaron just like biden just like trudeau just like all of them was saying well you
know in two months we're going to have to do this because this is an emergency and so we're going to
wait two months we'll do that and then in those you know two months come they do that and they
tell you well another two months we got to do the next thing. It's not an emergency.
It's a chaos disruption from the inside.
Iteratively done.
It's not an emergency.
But the Cannes Film Festival, when people showed up that summer of 2021, they were these, you know, movie stars and directors and the rest of them were just could not contain their disdain for France that they would be required to do a COVID test by spitting into something. And I said,
spitting into something? You mean they didn't swab their noses, run a thing all the way up
to their brain? They didn't swab their throats and all the rest of the stuff?
Yeah, of course. If you really wanted to test to see if somebody had some
viral stuff, you don't need to swab their throat you can have them spit you can test the saliva
it was domination it was domination these sadistic people and of course we could easily see that as
well in china they had done that to state department officials.
They had first, they had gotten some dummies, human dummies,
and they were snickering.
They had the dummies bent over and they swabbed them anally.
And they're laughing about that.
And then they did it to the state department officials.
So my opinion quite deserved it.
Um, I was some dark joy and seeing them, uh, saying that to the State Department officials. In my opinion, quite deserved it.
I was in some dark joy in seeing them
saying that happened. Although they
didn't film that, they were laughing about it.
And again, not necessary.
And the State Department complained,
but these people submitted.
State Department employees submitted to that.
Will we submit
to this? Brandon Smith
says, luckily the COVID agenda failed.
Medical authoritarianism collapsed because conservatives and independents were not on board.
Well, they were.
They were not on board after Biden took over.
But they were on board when Trump was there.
You had people like Alex and other people telling you, you need to be on.
This is dangerous.
This is coming from a gain of function lab in Wuhan.
So be a very afraid.
You know, Mike Adams, wear your mask so you don't have to get the vaccine.
It's like, come on.
Come on.
You know, they're saying the same stuff about the mass that they always say about vaccines.
Your mask doesn't protect you.
Other people's mask protect you.
Your vaccine doesn't protect you.
Other people's vaccine protects you.
It was like, come on, you know, better than that.
And so, uh, the Trump precedent moved the Overton window.
And, uh, when Biden became president, conservatives and independents
stopped supporting this because, Hey, you know, we don't trust Biden.
So what happens when the political right perceives a true threat or
think about it this way, he doesn't say this because he doesn't want to attack
Trump or what about when Trump returns to the presidency, if that happens,
when Trump returns to gaslight us.
And so, um, what Brandon does, he plays out the scenario.
He says, we've got two options here about how they get to civil
war and the United States.
And in both of these options, you have a multi-war front that breaks out and we
get drawn into this broad middle Eastern war and so does China, so does Russia.
And so, uh, then you have a riots and you have terror attacks become regular
currencies in the U.S.
Riots because these Marxists don't want us on the side of Israel and terror attacks because the border is wide open to make sure that can happen.
And so then what happens?
Here's the difference between the two scenarios that Brandon Smith comes up.
He says, well, a draft is initiated, which conservatives support in hopes that it will help dissolve the riots.
Draft protests and riots become the norm, pushing conservatives to support even stricter enforcement.
Essentially the Vietnam model, right?
I remember when that was happening.
I was, the draft ended just as I graduated high school.
And I remember watching all of this stuff and, and watching my family and, uh, and everybody
else, uh, you know, they, uh, identified with the, um, uh, the people who were patriotic and
said, I'll follow my government, whatever they do. I followed them into a meat grinder.
And then I saw the reaction of the people who weren't going to go into the draft,
who weren't going to go into the war,
the proverbial dirty hippies who are out there pushing against the war.
And that enraged the conservatives.
And it made them support a war that they should have never supported.
A war that was turning the people that they loved into dead bodies.
And they supported it.
Because, you know, we're going to, those liberals don't want us to have a war.
Then I'm going to have a war.
I mean, you know, that's that type of reactionary thing.
That's what you can't fall into.
Can't fall in.
Don't lose sight of what's really going on here.
And I've seen America lose sight of what's really going on here.
And both the left and the right got it wrong.
Anyway, um, this I think would be the scenario with a President Trump.
You know, conservatives would get all into it.
Martial law will be announced.
He's itching to do that for real.
And I don't say for real.
I mean, the medical martial law was real enough, wasn't it?
But I mean, martial law using the army against his enemies.
Trump is aching to do that.
As Nikki Haley said, I finally agreed with something Nuki Haley said.
She said, Trump is all about drama and vendetta.
Yes.
As Ty Cobbs, his former lawyer said, he is incapable of acting except in his own perceived interest and out of revenge.
So martial law has announced soldiers used on American soil
to quote-unquote protect us from riots and terrorists,
you know, just as the public health bureaucrats were there
to protect us against the virus.
Terrorists will be primarily foreign nationals, illegal migrants,
given an easy shot at citizenry if they join the military and put the boot down
on dissent and the constitution will die and with a whimper so to speak not so much maybe as a civil
war but there'll be parts of a civil war then the second option we also get drawn into this war in
the middle east a second option this would be if Biden is president, I think.
Conservatives refuse to comply.
Just as they were compliant with Trump, with all this superstitious Simon Says garbage.
But then when Biden got in there, it's like, are you kidding me?
That's crazy.
The same kind of flip that we saw Biden and the liberals.
I'm not taking any
Trump vaccine. I wouldn't take a vaccine that he did. And then as soon as Biden gets elected,
we've all got to take it. You got to take it too. The country is then hit with an endless series of
terror attacks, each one of them presented as a reason why the public must back the war.
Each attack is chaired by leftist activists as an act of decolonization.
Conservatives see this ploy for what it is.
They'll refuse to support the war taking an America first position.
Why fight overseas when it's America that's under duress.
And I don't see this happening again, unless I don't see it
happening unless it's a Democrat.
They'll fall in line if it's a Republican president.
So if a Republican president, it'll be option a, if it's Democrat, it'll fall in line if it's a Republican president. So if a Republican president,
it'll be option A. If it's a Democrat, it'll be option B. Biden still attempts martial law. He
offers automatic citizenship to illegal immigrants if they serve in the military. He uses some of
these troops as an occupation presence at home. Leftists don't want to fight in the Middle East,
but they do like to see migrants given easy
citizenship and they figure if the migrants fill the ranks of the military then they won't have to
be drafted but conservatives rebel and america enters either balkanization or civil war or both
patriots are accused of helping the enemies of the U.S. and are also labeled terrorists.
And from this point on, anything could happen.
He says, I believe, this is Brandon Smith, I believe the Israeli trigger may be bigger than COVID in terms of potential global disaster and the global tyranny that it could unfold.
I would argue that the only thing that will save America at this point is the growth of an America First movement.
But when we come back, we're going to talk about whether or not there's anybody, certainly in Washington, that supports an America First movement.
Before we go to break, KWD 68 COVID was definitely training in a test.
America failed the test, but performed the training yep sheep republicans aren't even controlled opposition they oppose nothing
exactly we're going to talk about that when we come back we're going to talk about the new speaker
and how he is rapidly moving uh toward that direction uh audi modern retro radio says correct david trump kept the
war machine in business and there are trump lovers who refer to donald as a peacetime president
uh i heard everything here angus mustang uh replies that i can't believe the trumpsters
still can't see how he screwed this country over and pushed right to the edge of the drain yeah um thank you for the tip jason barker thank you very much he says uh good morning
david can we get a gas gauge update it's the end of the month we are still not past uh 75 percent
um we have um we got uh picked up about 20 so we're in the low 70s and um uh you know we got a little bit of money
last week that i haven't entered in yet but it doesn't really move the gauge too much um so
that's that's where we are again i'll just remind people that we're donor supported especially when
we pull the commercials for pride month and And that really hasn't come back yet.
So that was a big thing.
If you want to help us, like the broadcast and please share it with other people.
Those things will help us with visibility.
And if you want to help us listen to the commercials,
I don't know what the commercials are.
I don't really track them, but that helps a little bit if you don't have any money and
understand things are difficult for people right now.
Uh, but if you listen to it, um, and listen to the commercials that helps us helps us
a little bit more.
If you listen to them, the podcast on Spreaker, uh, Spreaker pays more if you download it
from them than if you get it through some of the other places out there like iTunes.
Of course, it's not available on Spotify.
We do have at the David Knight show dot com.
We have links to where you can find it on most of the platforms as well as links to where you can find the full show on video as well as cuts that we put on video as well.
Just a few more comments here before we take a break.
No Truth in Them says, none of them are real wars for real reasons.
If we wanted to annihilate a country conventionally, we could.
But wars are played.
They're not fought.
Yeah, that's been the way that it's been, really, since the Korean War.
You know, police action, Truman said.
Ability Cat Part 2. If nukes start
dropping, the whole world will be screwed.
Angus Mustang. The aircraft carrier is
or has already become obsolete, replaced by
cruise missiles the same way
the carrier replaced the battleship.
And then the question becomes drones.
And drone swarms.
I mean, what's happening right now?
These are very crude, amateur, improvised explosives and things likearms. I mean, what's happening right now, these are very crude, amateur,
like improvised explosives and things like that.
But again, Daniel Suarez's book,
Kill Decision, was it?
Yeah.
Really interesting.
War gaming, what happens when you have swarms
of autonomous killer drones does that make
the aircraft carrier obsolete uh can it respond all of those things all at once angus mustang
um so um i just read that one jason barker look on the horizon for drone carriers yeah there'll
be boats that will carry fleets of swarm drums. Exactly right. Syrian girl. Guess we can't put high heels on the ground and expect to come out on top.
No, no.
Are you guys ready for war?
Yeah, you got your makeup on and your high heels on.
Jason Parker, the laughter in the room makes me sick.
We're taking, we're talking of at least five years of war when they laugh.
That's right.
Yeah.
KWD68, I had a friend of mine tell me about drones about two inches square that carried a single.22 shell.
They fly to the enemy's heads, fire the shell in the brain.
As a matter of fact, they did like one of those TED Talk things where they were showing that.
Targeted assassinations like that
multiple delivery methods that was years ago and um before trump you know he did something bigger
and better the best killer drones ever at warp speed and um yeah our military is dressed to kill
yeah that's exactly right cross-dressed to cross borders that's that's
what we are i guess um we'll be right back the common man
they created common core to dumb down our children.
They created common past to track and control us.
Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing.
And the communist future.
They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary.
But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible.
And we do remember and we are fighting our brave troops and combatants who are now in Gaza or around Gaza and in all other regions in Israel are joining this chain of Jewish heroes,
a chain that has started 3,000 years ago from Joshua Ben-Nun
until the heroes of 1948, the Six-Day War, the 73 October War,
and all other wars in this country are hero troops.
They have one supreme main goal
to completely defeat the murderous enemy
and to guarantee our existence in this country.
We've always said,
never again,
never again is now.
Okay.
A religious war
that we're going to get in the middle of here.
And our new speaker vowed to support the war in Israel.
That was his first act.
And so whatever happened to America first?
No, our first act is to go to war for Israel.
And then there were a couple of glimmers of hope with him.
He had been strongly opposed to Ukraine.
Why are we getting involved in this?
Why are we sending money to this?
And yet, we see the new speaker, Mike Johnson,
come around very quickly to supporting the Ukraine war.
We can't allow Vladimir Putin to prevail in Ukraine
because I don't believe it would stop there.
And it would probably encourage and empower China to perhaps make a move on Taiwan. We have these concerns.
We're not going to abandon them. We want to be cooperative. We need to work together on this,
but we owe it to the people to know what the plan is, where the money is going to be spent,
and we need some auditing for the dollars that we've already sent over there. These are not
tough questions, right? One thing that House Republicans are resolved on is that we must stand with our most important ally in the Middle East,
and that's Israel. We will. We certainly hope that it doesn't come to boots on the ground.
If it comes to that, and we communicated this to the White House staff as well today, that
we have the Article 1 power in the legislative branch of government, and they have Article
2. They have very limited authority on what they can do to respond
without coming to Congress to seek consent.
And even my Democrat colleagues, Sean, that are in committees of jurisdiction
understand this in the Foreign Affairs Committee.
And you've had comments made by the leaders of Iran
that they themselves may get involved in a conflict.
If that happens, correct me if you think I'm wrong,
I would say all bets are off in the Middle East. We could have a full-out war in the Middle East,
Israel at the center of it, and at that point, if Israel's existence is put in jeopardy,
I don't think Prime Minister Netanyahu, who I've known for almost 30 years,
I don't think there's anything he won't do to preserve and protect his country
from people that have committed their lives to destroy it.
He has to do that.
And around here, people throw around the phrase existential threat.
They have an existential threat every day.
I mean, their neighbors want to eliminate them and wipe them off the map.
So Prime Minister Netanyahu is resolved.
I've spent time with him personally.
I know him as well.
I think he's a strong leader at this important time,
and I think he's going to do what is necessary.
And America will back him up.
I mean, they tell us when we're in Israel, and you've been there,
they say the reason that we are able to sustain ourselves and survive
is because everyone knows that our big ally is America.
We know that Iran is directly tied to all this. These are Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran.
And they're tied in now with Russia and China. I mean, it is a new axis of evil. That's how we
see it. And so it has to be addressed. Would you say if Israel, with all the funding of terror and
all these terror organizations, are they within their right to fight back and go directly at iran of course that was the first as you noted the first act of my speakership is that we passed
that resolution to articulate that make it very clear where we stand the house is back in business
and we're going to stand with israel you guys now two war hawks and, of course, Speaker Mike Johnson goes on with Sean Hannity,
knowing that this guy is as much of a war hawk, a war monger as Lindsey Graham.
Lindsey Graham's never been to war.
Sean Hannity's never been to war.
Mike Johnson's never been to war.
But they want to send you and your kids to die, and they want to bring the war to us.
They've got their bunkers in Washington and the rest of the stuff, but they want to bring
the war to this country as well.
So disappointing.
You want to talk about the axis of evil?
Well, it's not just Moscow, Beijing, and Tehran.
It's also Washington, CNN, and Fox News.
That axis of evil.
As the CIA is pulling the strings for these people.
Hamas and Hezbollah are proxies of Iran,
and they're tied now with Russia and China.
This is a new axis of evil, says the new speaker.
He said he would like to see more oversight of money for Ukraine, but you know,
that may not happen. That won't be a requirement to give more money to Ukraine. Amazing how quickly
he changed, isn't it? How malleable his principles were. He said he does support Biden's proposed
$105 billion bill to fund the war in Ukraine,
Israel's war in Gaza, and to fund Washington's military buildup in the Pacific.
The difference between Kevin McCarthy and the Democrats and this new speaker,
and he's going to have separate votes on these things.
Isn't that nice?
He's not going to just put them together in one big thing they're
going to have separate votes on them so that's your difference right there and there's absolutely
no doubt of where this is going to be again when they had that resolution to support israel
it was pretty much unanimous and no strings attached. I'm going to support them carte Blanc, no matter what they do.
Uh, you had, uh, nine, uh, Muslims, Marxists, squad members, and he had
Thomas Massey who said, uh, I certainly understand what's going on and how
we have to come after Hamas, uh, but I'm not going to, uh, embrace this and try to start
another war.
We can't allow Putin to prevail in Ukraine.
You heard him say after opposing it before, now that he's speaker, well, it doesn't take
too long for success to spoil Rock Hudson, does it?
A rock hunter.
I think it was Rock Hudson who was in that movie, but yeah, well, success spoil him.
Well, certainly seems like it.
U S boots on the
ground may be required to stand with israel he supports israel directly attacking iran
russia china and iran are now the new axis of evil and the words of w there are evil doers
evil doers uh the speaker is willing to send american troops uh he says i hope that doesn't come to boots on
the ground but um he doesn't say uh we're not going to do that and so as uh brashel hobby
points out and i said this he i said he is a at least he has said that he's a strong Christian.
It seems to be, as somebody said, the way he got the speakership was, first of all,
a very nice guy.
He has no enemies, but also he hasn't been in Congress that long.
And those two things are not unrelated.
I mean, if you take a stand on something with any principles, you're going to have enemies.
Well, it certainly, the CIA is not his enemy at this point in time, or the military industrial corporations are not his enemy.
They're fine.
They're fine with all that.
So, yeah, he is a Zionist evangelical Christian. The first thing he's going to do is have a resolution to get us involved in that conflict because of his theology, because of his eschatology, his opinion about the last days.
And I said before, you know, whatever you think is going to happen with Israel, whatever you think is going to happen with the end of the world, it's not our duty to try to make that happen.
It's our duty.
God has made it. That's not our duty to try to make that happen. It's our duty. God has made it.
That's not his revealed will.
He's told us what he's going to do, but not when and how.
What he's told us to do are to be peacemakers
and to make sure that we act in a just way.
And again, it's a very difficult thing to do.
I'm not saying there's easy answers,
but these people are pushing for a broad war.
This is beyond, do we go into what kind of military action we're going to support Israel doing,
and do we need to support Israel?
They have a lot of military power.
So there was at least some hope that he would continue to oppose the Ukraine war,
but that's disappeared now as well.
He said, the first bill I'm going to bring to the floor in a little while, as soon as he announced he was speaker, is going to be the support of our dear friend Israel.
He said, we must elect a speaker so the House can take all necessary action to end Hamas forever.
He said before he became speaker. See, I had not seen anything about this i didn't know
anything about him he's been in for four terms and um i didn't know anything about mike johnson
and um my first comment when i saw that uh my the first thing i saw about mike johnson
was all of a sudden this guy that i don't know anything about because i don't follow congress
that closely because again they all just stood aside except for Thomas Massey.
They all just stood aside for this lockdown, this medical martial law,
pushing these vaccines.
They have been just like the UK parliament.
We've only got one guy, Andrew Bridgen, who says,
let's have an inquiry about these excess deaths.
No, we're not going to do that.
And they say, finally, you can give a speech.
And then none of them show up for the speech.
And that's the way these guys have been to us.
And so, yeah, I don't pay much attention to Congress.
They're not on our side.
And so when I saw that, you know he gets uh elected speaker and the very first thing
he says is that first thing i'm going to do is to do a resolution to support israel i said i tweeted
it out and i said well now you know how he got the job he's a pump a puppet a pawn of the military industrial corporations.
As Manchal Havi says, you know, the Christian Zionists will say, they'll quote from Genesis,
blessed are those who bless Israel.
And he said, but here's the full context in Genesis.
The Lord said to Abram, leave your country, your people, your father's household. Go to the land and I will show you. In Genesis, And all nations on earth will be blessed through you.
Have you seen that fulfilled?
Not in the nation of Israel.
You've seen that fulfilled in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Through you, all nations will be blessed.
As Christ said, go and make disciples of all nations.
Which gets me to the Red Cross.
And the fact that, you know, when you look at how hated the cross is,
these are people who are at war with God.
And as the Psalms say, why do the nations rage and imagine a vain thing?
Why do they rage against the Lord and his anointed, his Christ?
God laughs at this.
But if we go back to 2006, okay, so 17 years ago,
the International Federation of the Red Cross and the Red Crescent Movement
was admitted in 2006 into Israel.
After decades and decades, the Red Cross is something that was brought about in the 1800s
by a Swiss Christian who came up with the Red Cross as, you know, an inversion of his country's flag.
And his country, you know, the Swiss flag is a red flag with a white cross on it. So he
came up with a white cross with a red flag on it. He just inverted it.
Switzerland being a Christian nation, one of the reasons why it stays out of these fights and is neutral.
That, along with the citizen militia and other things like that,
they're really actually more like America at its founding than we are
and have been for quite some time.
But the Red Cross grew out of this Swiss Christian's ministry
to try to go around and voluntarily help people.
But the Red Cross is not allowed in Muslim countries
because the cross is an offense.
They want to allow people to come in
and actually provide free medicine,
health care to them, and emergencies.
Can't come in here with a cross.
And the people who ran it said,
well, we want to help you.
What can we do?
Well, change that cross to a crescent, to a Muslim symbol,
and we'll let you come in and help us.
And they did.
And then Israel said, you can't come in and help us
if you've got a red cross on your truck.
Well, what can we do to help you?
Change it to a red star of David.
And that's what you see. And you see this on the ambulances from the Magan David Adam Society, the hospital that's there.
It's King David.
It's what they've named it after.
And you see that in the white ambulance with a red star of David on it.
That's how much they hate Christ and his cross that's how
much these nations rage against God and his Christ and we try to help them and
they anyway that it's just a it's just a symbol isn't it? And there's always something behind those symbols.
When the left chooses these terms, they choose them to define us.
And when they choose symbols, they do it very, very deliberately.
So going back to Mike Johnson, the speaker, what they focused on over the weekend was was not the fact that he was pushing
for wars that he's pushing to get us involved in a mid-east war that he's changed his position as
soon as he becomes uh speaker of the house to want to go to war against not just iran
uh not just gaza but also ir, but also Russia and China as well.
And so when he rapidly metastasizes with all that, the left doesn't criticize that.
The left mainstream media doesn't criticize that.
The Guardian doesn't criticize that.
Instead, they go back and they look at his history and they say,
this is a guy who supports covenant marriage.
Now, why is that an offense?
This is not even something that was targeting homosexual marriage.
This was in 1999.
And that was about 15 years before that came onto the scene, really.
And what it was, was a reaction to casual divorce or no-fault divorce and other things like that.
The general acceptance in our society of divorce. Mike Johnson came from a family that was divorced,
and he did not want to have that for himself and for his kids. It was devastating for him as a
child. And so his support for covenant marriage and the fact that he's in a covenant marriage was really trying to wake people up as to what was happening to him.
But that is the thing that really sticks in the craw of the Guardian, of NPR, and the rest of the mainstream media.
They really hate that.
Really hate that.
And, you know, when we look at the values of marriage, that's certainly a good thing to stand for that.
What about the values of being a peacemaker?
What about that?
See, the left doesn't care about that.
That's not an issue for them.
And so in 1999, he and his wife got involved in a covenant marriage.
And what is it?
Basically, it is you agree to have marital counseling before your marriage and before
if you're going to get a divorce having marital counseling before that but it also says that you
can't get a legal divorce it makes it harder essentially you can't get a legal divorce except
for the reasons that have always been accepted uh for divorce um infidelity you, an adulterated marriage, sexual or physical abuse, things like that.
So those were the types of things that you would typically see a divorce allowed for.
And really, who needs it?
Who needs to have the government involved in our marriage definition?
I don't think we need to have government involved in it.
I understand that what they were trying to do was to push back against the culture, but
I think the appropriate place to do that is not in the legislature.
I think the appropriate place to do that is within the church.
And so I understand that they're trying to push back against this no-fault, easy divorce
culture that we had, but that's not going to do it in terms of putting a law up. Anybody that wants to get a divorce
will find some way to exercise those options to get out of it. If you're going to have a covenant
marriage, you have to understand that God is going to hold you accountable, not the government. I have no fear of the government.
I fear God.
I don't care about the government.
I don't care about Trump or Biden or any of these other clowns.
They're not going to tell me what to do.
I'm not going to wear their mask, take their injection,
or do the rest of the stuff they're talking about.
I fear God, not the government.
So if you want a covenant marriage, a covenant before God,
and we need to have stronger families and stronger churches,
and that's one of the reasons why we're going to be talking to the CEO of Promise Keepers,
because you now got churches that are canceling Promise Keepers
because they're talking about faithful marriages.
And so I saw that, and it's like, you know, let's talk about real covenant, a covenant
before God about marriage.
That's how our society is coming apart.
Our families are coming apart.
A good example of this, Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google, he launched a hundred million
dollar company with his girlfriend well he was they
were dating and and he's married and has been married for 40 years and they're dating and he
gives her money to start a uh start a new company just amazing to me uh when i saw that it made me
think of um you know one of the reasons why christ why Christianity is held in such low esteem in Europe.
Um, we went to, uh, Salzburg in Austria, took the family.
And of course, you know, they have the sound of music tour.
Uh, we walked around some of the places we, we didn't take the tour.
Um, I don't think we did.
Did we take the tour?
I don't remember if we took, I knew about the tour And they took you to various places where they'd filmed the movie.
But you remember the spot where they're going in the, they're running around these gardens and stuff.
You know, she makes outfits for them out of curtains and then takes them on this outing and everything.
It was beautiful gardens that were there.
And that palace was built by the bishop of salzburg and again um you know it was a
he was the civil authority as well as the religious authority of that town
that's the merger of those two things and um you know we did go down in the salt mines and um
it was kind of interesting they had these long wooden slides or like a big, uh, railing on a,
on a stair, if you will, you know, very slick, highly polished from people,
sliding down it and all the time.
Now you had to walk your way back up after working all day in the salt mines,
but you know, in the morning it was kind of fun. You know,
you get that little thrill. You can look forward to going to work.
You get on this thing and go sliding down until you get into the salt mines.
These people were literally working in the salt mines.
And, of course, Salzburg means salt city.
And that was a very, very valuable commodity.
And this bishop, who was the civil as well as the religious head of Salzburg,
was getting a lot of money from that, personal money,
and he built this lavish palace there for his mistress.
He was supposed to be celibate.
And so that kind of blatant hypocrisy,
and that kind of established religion
and that close connection between government and religion.
And again, government takes over religion.
Hypocrisy takes over religion when you have that kind of thing.
But it's that pushing back against that type of thing is important not to have that kind of hypocrisy.
But it is also important to see some of these other issues.
The House Speaker's views on LGBTQ issues come under fresh scrutiny.
Mainstream media article after mainstream media article.
Again, he makes it clear that his views are not directed at the LGBT,
but he says, you know, that's my worldview.
I believe the Bible, and that's what I believe the Bible teaches,
and that's what I live by.
He says, I'm not focused. This is not about the people themselves. He says, I'm a Bible, and that's what I believe the Bible teaches, and that's what I live by. He says, I'm not focused.
This is not about the people themselves.
He says, I'm a Bible-believing Christian.
Somebody asked me today in the media, they said, people are curious, what does Mike Johnson think about any issue under the sun?
I said, well, go pick up a Bible off your shelf and read it.
That's my worldview.
That's what I believe.
So I make no apologies for it. And so maybe if he believes the Bible,
you know, we're always told to,
we were told to pray for kings and those in authority.
He said, pray for everybody,
but especially for kings and those who are in authority.
And of course, yeah, some people kind of made a joke of it
and said, you know, pray God, save them or kill them.
But being a Christian, being saved, doesn't necessarily mean you're gonna make the
right decisions doesn't mean that you're gonna be consistent across all these
different issues you might want to save marriage but you might also want to
destroy Iran and have a world war that's a big issue. And so, yes, do pray for kings and for those in authority,
like the speaker. Pray that God will change his heart before he doubles down on destroying the
world. That's, you know, it truly is amazing. Now, Glenn Greenwald, who is homosexual,
who has, with his partner, adopted children and everything,
he was very excited about Johnson
and his position on the First Amendment.
And there are some very good, you know,
he has a big improvement over Kevin McCarthy, no doubt about it.
He's got some issues right. And he seems to be
a man of principle, but that still doesn't mean
that he's going to get these decisions right. So that's why you need to pray for him.
That God will make that clear. But when it comes to
speech, Glenn Greenwald
said, and he's got a program on Rumble, he played a clip of Johnson
and he was questioning Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas at a congressional meeting in July.
Greenwald said, that person right there in that video of five minutes did such an expert job
of constructing those questions who came incredibly prepared and more so was obviously so passionate.
He said the reason he was enraged, he's talking about Mike Johnson,
the reason he was enraged, and the rage was very controlled,
it was very focused, it was very substantive,
was because Mayorkas was saying over and over,
we're here to protect the country from disinformation.
And he refused to say then, defines what different disinformation is,
because of course the answer is we do. We, the government, are going to define what is true and
false, which is a grave violation, as grave a violation of the First Amendment as you can get.
And so then Greenwald continued, he said, if you had told me three months ago that person was going
to be Speaker of the House in three months, the person who just did that, I would have said,
please tell me the directions to the parallel universe in which you're residing so I can move there.
Because whatever else is true about this person, and we're going to have disagreements with him, obviously,
but the fact that he was able to do that, and not just able to do that, but felt that, believed that,
is obviously a gigantic advancement over Kevin McCarthy.
And I agree.
It's just this is such an incredible blind spot.
And we have to be very, very concerned about this.
And it is a blind spot that I've seen with many, many Christians.
I'll say one more thing about Johnson, and that is, again, the Guardian immediately attacking him on covenant marriage, immediately attacking him, saying, the House Speaker once won taxpayer funds
for Noah's Ark Park that was accused of bias. Now, every bit of that headline, except for the fact that he won, every bit of that is a lie.
The Guardian is one of the most biased, bigoted, prejudiced publications out there.
And one of the sloppiest in terms of details.
It was, I said it was a graphic illustration of his uncompromising right-wing Christian beliefs.
And so the reality is, is that Answers in Genesis, if you haven't seen it,
the Ark Encounter, I think it is, is excellent.
I highly recommend it.
One of the best attractions we've ever gone.
It really is amazing to see it.
It was built, it's all made out of wood.
It was built by Amish carpenters that they brought in.
But the whole thing is set up as a museum.
And it's set up to show how this is feasible.
But it goes way beyond that as well.
It is a Christian ministry as well.
But it is very interesting to see.
And I think people would be interested in it if they doubt the Bible.
Again, Answers in Genesis has their creation Museum, and then this was the second museum
that they put in.
And they had been given tax incentives as every tourist attraction is given in the state
of Kentucky.
And we're not talking about a situation where the government comes in and gives hundreds
of millions of
dollars or billions of dollars to some billionaire to build a sports stadium.
It's not that.
That's the way they're trying to make this sound.
It's not that at all.
What it is, and I believe they don't get into the specifics of what the tax thing was, but
it was a program that was offered to everybody, not just to Answers in Genesis.
And I believe what it was was a rebate,
a rebate, partial rebate on sales tax
that they collect for a period of time.
That's something that they extend
to every tourist attraction to help them to get started.
And so that was the situation.
That was the law.
That was extended to every attraction.
And then you had Bashir, who became the governor of Kentucky, one of the worst lockdown tyrants we had, without a doubt.
And he has a very unhinged leftist hatred of Christians and uncompromising in it.
And so Bashir said, well, it's become clear that they intend to use religious beliefs
as a litmus test for hiring decisions.
That's right.
It's a Christian ministry, and they hire Christians.
And he has a problem with that.
Oh, well, that messes up the separation of church and state.
No, it doesn't.
You're just not taxing.
It's the same argument that you would use to say, well, we're going to not give tax exemptions to anyone because of their religious beliefs.
And that's exactly what Johnson called out.
Again, it's not like giving somebody money to build a sports stadium or something. Johnson
said this is viewpoint discrimination, and he was right. He said they have decided to exclude this
organization from a tax rebate program that is offered to all applicants across the state.
Just as every rational person understands the Commonwealth is not somehow endorsing the
consumption of alcohol when it approved tax refunds for a beer distillery tour project in 2012,
that the government is not endorsing the speech of every standup comedian or
adult themed entertainer who may fill the stage of one of the entertainment
venues previously approved.
There is also no valid argument that the Commonwealth will somehow endorse the
private religious speech or viewpoints that are expressed at the arc encounter
park. And so, um, he prevailed in that. He pointed out,
you're giving this to all kinds of businesses, everyone,
and you want to take this out, uh, because, uh,
you don't like the viewpoints that are here. So he's very intelligent.
He's got some very strong beliefs that he's been
consistent in, except now he appears to be moving very rapidly into this war with Ukraine, which he
had always opposed. He's moving in the wrong direction and then bringing in China as well
at the same time. If we go back to Daniel, as he said, you know, when he took office, he said, God raises up and deposes political leaders.
Well, that's right.
He changes times and seasons.
He removes kings.
He sets up kings.
He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding.
He said that.
And so that should be our prayer for him.
God give him wisdom and compassion.
Wisdom and compassion to keep us out of war.
We'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show
all right and um alan vj thank you very much that's very generous i appreciate that a tip on
rock fan right um angry tiger thank you for the tip and he says uh exactly david we cannot sit
on our hands and chalk it up to prophecy the lord Lord will ask when we see him what we did,
what did we do to try to bring about peace? Exactly right. That is very clear. And that is
his revealed will, how and when and what he's going to do exactly. He has not revealed that
to us. A Syrian girl, thank you for the tip. She says, you're right. We need to leave Israel to
God. He has plans for them. We shouldn't fight against them or destroy ourselves trying to
work out our own well for Israel's future that's right we get involved in this we may wind up doing
the wrong thing I gotta make that happen one way or the other with or without our help even if we
get in and mess things up but it is clear what he wants us to do. There's no question about what his revealed will is.
Let's talk a little bit about the Second Amendment
and follow up to this shooter story.
Oh, we got one more here.
Let's see.
This is, and I'll get to some of the comments
here in a moment as well.
Sprumford, thank you very much for the tip.
I appreciate that very much.
Thank you.
It's been a while since I've been here.
God bless you and your family, Mr. Knight.
And Sharon, uh, Massachusetts recently, I saw two churches with huge LGBT flags hung
proudly on their facades.
Still shaking my head.
That's right.
Again, like George Barna said, um, if you haven't seen that interview, if it's been
a while interviewed at George Barna and he said, you know,
when you look at the people who identify themselves as Christians or evangelicals,
he said only about 4% of them, even if they call themselves that,
actually really pay attention to what God tells them in the Bible and live it on a daily basis.
So, yeah, he's been around long enough that he asked a few more questions to see,
well, exactly what do you do in your life?
And, you know, to see what characterizes your
life. Look, we all make mistakes, but there's certain things that we jump into that we repeat
over and over again. Those are the things that characterize our lives. And that really is,
it isn't that we live perfect lives. Nobody lives a perfect life. But does that characterize the
way you live your life? That's the question
you should be asking yourself. I talked about this shooter and I said, well, you know, he was
taken into a hospital for a couple of weeks and he had suicidal thoughts and he was hearing voices
and all the rest of the stuff. I said, nobody wants to ask what treatments he got. Nobody wants
to ask what drugs he got, but I can pretty much guarantee
you that he got SSRIs. I've talked about this and I have a listener who, uh, and I talked about
the website SSRI stories and it is SSRI stories.org, not.net. So it's SSRI stories.org.
That used to be the other one used to be their website.
And I interviewed her years and years ago.
And now there's new people running it.
And this listener,
uh,
in Canada,
um,
Saki says,
um,
I've been trying to leave these comments maybe on some of the video,
uh,
channels or something.
And,
um,
and I don't have the time.
I,
I,
there's so many different places where there's comments.
It's hard for me to even keep up with the,
the main ones that we look at,
which are the email comments.
And we try to keep up with the comments on subscribe star.
But it's difficult to keep up with those.
So yeah,
I didn't see those.
And so she finally sent it to me as an email.
And so thank you for sending this.
And let me make that correction.
SSRI stories.org. We'll show you for sending this. And let me make that correction.
SSRIStories.org will show you thousands of stories.
There are over between 7,000 and 8,000 stories right now of what has happened to people with these drugs that they leave on the market.
You want to ban something?
Forget about banning a particular type of gun.
Ban this particular type of drug.
It is a weapon. And this drug has been involved in far more murder suicides than any
weapon or all weapons combined but again it's pharmaceutical companies and nobody wants to
touch the pharmaceutical companies i'm going to touch it so ssristories.org they've done a great
job of cataloging that had a recent interview with them and um but i remembered the um uh the website from
years and years ago that's now changed so three weeks uh before this main shooter's threats they
were identified the police were identified they said well this is just kind of a generic thing
oh really so this happens all the time somebody Somebody having voices and talking about shooting up a base or whatever.
Two local law enforcement chiefs and agencies statewide received an awareness alert about this guy, Card,
mid-September after the firearms instructor threatened his base and fellow soldiers.
But after Card was not located, despite having increased patrols and even a visit to his home,
officials moved on.
We added extra patrols.
We did that for about two weeks, but the guy never showed up.
So, you know, hey, I guess let's treat it the same way, you know.
We had some reports of these people coming on the border.
You know, we've had engagements with this guy before.
He's with these cartels or something,
or he's been doing human trafficking and child prostitution.
But, you know, we just can't really locate that stuff.
So we just let him go.
You see, maybe you need to be able to defend yourself.
As a matter of fact, that's what one person who was interviewed by CNN wound up saying.
I can't imagine what CNN thought about that.
It must have been a live interview or they would have cut it out.
So you had a CNN correspondent speak with a local resident about his concerns
as police were continuing to search for the suspect that they believed had
killed people.
And he said he,
they thought he was at large,
but he'd gone somewhere evidently and shot himself.
And again,
a lot of people are suspicious about this is that we should always be
suspicious about these shootings,
but again, focus on the SSRIs. That's the first thing you
need to focus on. That's not a theory. I guess you could say it is a conspiracy to keep that
stuff going. Conspiracy between the FDA and pharmaceutical companies. This person said,
well, it's just nerves are rattled right now. I'm keeping an eye on the woods because I know those woods down there.
They run right back here.
I've got my daughter inside.
How old is your daughter?
They said, well, 10 years old.
And I've got another one who's working at Walmart.
I said, well, it actually makes me feel better to see the cops coming around here.
Makes me feel a million times better.
But I wish I had a firearm, he said.
Yeah. Yeah. Because, you know, the police are not always going to be there they're going to be there right now they're going to leave they're
going to go somewhere else uh we see this guy go in to uh take a hammer and he's going to use it
as a weapon for robbery uh his big mistake was he targeted a gun store
don't bring a hammer to a gun store robbery.
He was shot and killed.
I should not be laughing about this,
but it is amazingly stupid.
In Livermore, California,
in California,
28-year-old came into the store
wearing a mask, gloves,
and a hooded sweatshirt
pulled over his head uh and
and give me all the money you got in your register instead he gave him all the bullets
and blood that he had in his gun i guess but equally stupid equally stupid is uh joy behar is Joy Behar. You have to see this to believe it.
And this is Joy Behar talking about,
let's see, do we have that in here?
Did I not get that in here?
I guess I don't have it in there, do I?
Okay, all right.
It was early morning this morning.
It was hard getting up, so I had a couple mistakes here,
things I didn't put in the deck.
But, huh?
Oh, it is.
Okay, that's right.
There it is.
Okay.
Like I said, I'm tired today.
I put it in as AR-15 instead of as Joy, because Joy just doesn't seem to fit her.
She is so joyless about everything, always complaining. Here's what she had to say when discussing the mass shooting. Sarah didn't get a chance to weigh in on the topic of what happened in Maine and AR-15s.
Yeah, I would love to see an assault weapons ban like President Reagan. I don't believe they're a
sport or hunting instrument. It's like shooting fish in a bucket, but that's my. But also,
if you shoot with an AR-15, let's say you shoot a deer, you can't eat it.
You basically demolish it.
But the hunt is about an actual difficult process, not massacring bodies of any kind.
But my point is, I'd love to see that.
This is the AR-15 has achieved an image of such proportion in their minds that they think of it as like an RPG or something, you know.
I mean, it's a military weapon.
It just blows everything up everywhere.
If you shoot a deer, you can't even eat it.
There's nothing left.
It's completely, you basically demolish it.
She said, well, um, uh, in this, uh, report from, um, zero hedge.
Oh, you see it on zero hedge.
And, uh, they, they had, uh, another video that that was embedded which was a couple of guys discussing is
it ethical to shoot deer uh with an ar-15 they said well it kind of depends on the ammunition
you know if you got ammunition that's meant to penetrate um you know you're going to shoot the
deer up and you're not necessarily going to kill it needs to deform and cause more damage because
you don't want to wound an animal.
You know, that's the big thing.
I don't hunt, but that's the big thing the hunters tell me.
So then you got to wound it.
It doesn't die.
You got to track this thing down and then you got to carry it back.
And that's a, that's a big, so you want to drop it right there for humane purposes, but also, you know, for your own benefit, 10 States restrict hunting with a 223 or a 556 round
that is they're commonly used in an ar 15 because they're not powerful enough to kill
and could wound versus killing the game but 40 of hunters use modern sporting rifles which they
call assault weapons but they say um as they point out the
223 was introduced as an alternative to the 762 nato round due to its ability to be manufactured
quickly and it's inexpensively and in part because it is less lethal rendering an enemy
incapacitate in battle versus killing them uh and uh so again you know you want to
not because they they care but you know wounded people are more of a problem for the enemy than
just killing them which is one of the reasons why the pharmaceutical industry and the powers that be
work so much to wound us with their drugs and vaccines.
Because now as people are incapacitated and harmed by these vaccines,
we have to kill them.
We have to not kill them.
We have to take care of them. If they killed them, it would be more obvious.
But they do not want to do that but but i thought this was a great
comment somebody left um here's a picture he says here's a photo of the ar-15 bullet
that she's referring to i use it for shooting, and he's holding that as a, that's, that's my, uh, here's my AR 15
bullet, he says, cause you know, you hit the deer with that.
There's just nothing left.
Okay.
Uh, and in this, uh, zero hedge article, they have other reminders
of joy, Bayhar's ignorance.
Um, three of them them here's the headlines joy behar
faces ridicule for saving for saying quote once black people get guns in this country the gun laws
will change another one the view co-host joy behar claims crime is quote going down unquote under
biden uh and then peak delusion joy behar says that she'll break from CDC guidance and wear a mask inside indefinitely.
Yeah, indefinitely.
Maybe it should change the name of the show to The Spew instead of The View.
Because she does the spew nonsense that's there.
By the way, we're talking about ammunition.
Not just that really big one that you saw there.
But real stuff.
5.56 ammo and others.
Prices have surged 40% in one week because of concerns about the war.
And also, I think, because people are seeing what is happening here in the U.S.
between the open borders and between the open minds in these universities
that have been propagandized into becoming useful little
youthful idiots besides israel hamas and the ukraine war americans are looking at u.s cities
that are imploding because they're governed by radical progressives who could care less about law and order. Yeah.
So, and as I point out, don't forget that when it hits the fan,
the government is not going to be there to protect you,
just like they weren't there to do anything about the shooter,
who is telling everybody, I've got voices in my head,
I'm going to shoot the base up, and all of a sudden they can't seem to do anything about it.
David Hogg, by the way, has now reverted back to form.
He had a brief moment of sanity when he spoke out
against Governor Grisham in New Mexico,
who decided that she was going to use the medical martial law
to do gun control.
He said, you can't do that
but now um after that brief moment of sanity he's now reverted to type and uh he said we will never
end gun violence until white women in the suburbs stop voting for republicans who are endangering
our schools and communities by flooding them with guns.
So, again, there's bigotry against white women as he's completely oblivious to the murder
rates in Democrat areas such as Memphis, Tennessee, New Orleans, Richmond, Virginia,
Washington, D.C., Detroit, Chicago, the rest of these places.
You see, the problem is he's got everything
wrong uh it's not white women uh republicans in the suburbs it is democrat-run cities we have
black men who are shooting everybody and the democrat-run cities uh but he doesn't, uh, he doesn't absolutely does not get it.
Um, and then, uh, when you look at, uh, Hocal, uh, Hocal Berry, as, uh, Salenti calls her the New York governor, uh, she banned body armor for New Yorkers. But when she goes to Israel to virtue signal, she's wearing exactly the same body armor
that she banned for everybody else. Isn't that amazing? That's just one of the many things.
As a matter of fact, there's about two dozen things in this article from Bearing Arms that
she has done to try to infringe on the Second Amendment but again um you know how in the world do you
justify uh banning something that is completely defenses defensive right uh again they want to
say well you got somebody who's a shooter they're going to put this stuff on it'd be harder to kill
them uh well actually no uh but it does make it harder for them to kill other people. NC residents, North Carolina residents, argue that zoning changes are infringing on their
Second Amendment.
This is an interesting case because these are some people in the High Point area of
North Carolina who are pushing against a school being built in their area because they said
these federal laws that ban people carrying guns within 1,000 feet of a school being built in their area because they said these federal laws that
ban people carrying guns within a thousand feet of a school yeah because it's a sensitive area or
whatever uh that's going to essentially uh ban us from having our guns that we have for our own
benefit so um an interesting uh back and forth between that and it just underscores the insanity of these gun laws.
So we're going to take a quick break.
And when we come back, we'll look at some of your comments.
But we're also going to take a look at climate and also some headline news that's going to
reflect on who our guest is going to be.
We will be right back. ¶¶ Thank you. Analyzing the globalist's next move.
And now, The David Knight Show.
Some of the comments here.
Narrow Way, Narrow Gate Ministry says,
Netanyahu the other week presented a map of the new Middle East,
showing Israel in blue.
Notably, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank were solid blue.
The Zionists, he says, are telegraphing their intentions.
Yeah, that is very clear. He's called it the second war of independence.
And again, portraying their opponents as Amalekites, which I don't think that holds
up in terms of actually tracing their lineage. We do go back and we look at the way they
cut up the Middle East after World War II. The creation of Iraq and Iran, you know, the Iranians
were for the most part, Persian, the Iraqis were Babylonians. You go back to the ancient times.
And then, um, the, uh, Kurds were the, uh, Medes, but of course they didn't give the Kurds their
homeland. There's they're stuck in, you know, partly stuck in Iraq and partly stuck in Iran. And that's been a continual fight with all of them at the same time.
So the whole place is at war with each other and with God, frankly.
And here in America, we are in the throes of a full-bore communist revolution, says Dave Kapulian.
And, of course, this is what Biden and the left have done.
We've got these people who see everything in terms of race and privilege, they say.
But it is really about their bias, their hate, their racism.
They project this onto other people and they call us colonizers.
And they think that anything is justified in order to do that
and when you look at the revolution this this fourth turning that we're involved in
and again you remember previous fourth turnings great depression world war ii prior to that civil
war prior to that the american revolution straus and how went back 500 years looking at this
pattern of about every 80 years people lose all confidence in their institutions.
But, of course, the Civil War was not about slavery per se.
That was one facet of it.
But that wasn't the fundamental thing.
That fourth turning was about the Industrial Revolution.
It was about changing from agrarian societies to industrial societies.
As I pointed out, it was not just in America.
It was also in South America.
It was also in Italy, Garibaldi's army and the rest of that.
At 1861 in Italy, at the same time, they had a civil war that was about the consolidation,
the construction of the nation state.
You did have what most countries were like prior to that.
You had decentralized power.
The agrarian, the people who had big farms and plantations and things like that, not just in the U.S., but also in Italy,
they didn't have any slavery there.
But the power base was decentralized into regional areas,
and it was an agrarian society.
As they were changing into an industrial society
they created the nation-state and part of that was a civil war and if you don't understand that
you don't understand american history and you don't understand the fourth turning and all the
rest of this stuff and you don't understand that they're in the midst of doing the same thing now
as well when you look at this um insurrection act that they hit people for January the 6th,
that was an act, as I've pointed out before, that was put in at the end of the Civil War.
It was there to keep people from holding office, but of course,
they were tired of the killing at that point in time.
And they did not want to throw people in jail or do anything that was going to start it back up
again and so even though there had been in their terms the way they couched it an insurrection i
see it as war of northern aggression and it was a defensive war in my opinion uh what happened with
it regardless of you know what you say about the the slavery. It was an offensive war for the creation of the nation state
done in the interest of the industrialists.
But they were tired of war.
They didn't want it then.
They do want war now.
They want a civil war.
They want to bring in groups of people
from countries that we're at war with,
groups of people that do not want to be a part of our society.
And they're hoping that as they make, deliberately make things tough for us,
as they take our society down, they're hoping that these different ethnic groups
that they're bringing in are going to fight each other.
And a good example of this is what NPR and the Washington Post especially was very excited about the fact that as they removed the statue of Robert E. Lee and understand that you've seen this everywhere, right?
When they would go in and they would overthrow the government of Saddam Hussein, they would tear down his statues and destroy them.
When the communists took over their country, they would do it. It's an act of dominance.
When Islam goes into an area, they tear down the church or they tear down the synagogues
and they put up a mosque.
It is marking their territory.
It is an act of dominance, of conquest.
It is part of a revolution.
And that's what's really behind all of these removals of statues everywhere.
And it's not just about people who were involved in the Confederacy,
but it is especially directed at Robert Lee,
somebody who we would do well to have somebody of his character and intelligence.
We don't have anybody like that now, not in the United States.
And so they made a big issue out of destroying the statue.
First, they took it down.
They didn't want to sell it.
They wanted to destroy it.
And so they took pictures.
Here they are.
They've cut the head off the statue.
Now they're cutting the head
into two pieces and this is put out by the washington sorry that's the wrong one um
the burning of lee is not there but they actually uh that it is okay okay there we go look at that
so there they are melting it up there's the glowing face of the statue of Robert E. Lee.
And the people who do this, the people who tear down statues,
want to tear down and burn our society.
Because those are totems, if you will, emblems of our history, of our past.
And you should remember that at the end of the Civil War,
Robert E. Lee was honored by people North and South.
Of course, in the South, they were naming all kinds of things after him,
but they were in the North as well.
And in the North, they had a lot of different companies
that went to Robert E. Lee and wanted him to endorse the product.
Why did they like him up North?
Well, first of all, they admired his military genius,
but also because he ended the
war. He refused to prosecute it when he saw that it wasn't possible for them to win by conventional
means. They could have prolonged this into a guerrilla war, which is what Nathan Bedford
Forrest wanted to do. He could have had a prolonged asymmetric war, a guerrilla war.
There had already been a lot of guerrilla war in Missouri and Kansas at the beginning of the war and as it continued there.
But he didn't want to have a continuing war.
He said there's been enough killing, and he stopped it.
And he was a man of great character when he went to West Point as a student. His fellow students called him the marble man. Didn't have a single demerit while he was there in a system
that is designed to give you demerits. He eventually became the superintendent of West
Point. Some of the reasons why he had success because he taught all these guys that he was
fighting. He knew them. But but again they have torn down the statue
they are melting it and they are going to use the metal to create some statue of their own
it's probably going to be some abstract garbage but they're going to melt it down and create a
another statue and as the person who was speaking for BLM said, people are willing
to die for symbols. And as we saw in Charlottesville, they're willing to kill for them too,
from their perspective. Well, let me tell you, these people who were tearing down the symbols
of our history and our country, Rather than looking for what we can learn
and the good accomplishments of people,
they just want to find something they can tear everything down with.
They are willing to die and kill for symbols as well.
And what they did to that statue of Robert E. Lee
is just a picture of what they want to do to our society.
Melting it down will take weeks.
It weighed nearly 10,000 pounds.
Organizers said the next step will be choosing an artist who will craft the bronze ingots into a new art form to be displayed in Charlottesville.
It'll be some dumbed down abstract art well we have as this is all happening
um a subscribe star and um um article from raw egg nationalist says uh there is a new op-ed
where the academics are pushing the idea of female prehistoric hunters yes that's right um
she who controls the past controls the future she it wasn't the cavemen who went out as hunters and
gathers and you know did the hunting and everything no it was the women who did that
uh a a new study an american anthropologist they said the ideological purpose is clear to prove physical equality between the sexes
and that any attempt to deny such equality is bigotry.
Plain and simple.
Well, maybe they have missed this whole thing about trans sports.
You know, what happens with all these trans...
You've got people who can't compete at all against other men and they put on
some makeup and a dress and say i'm a woman and all of a sudden you know they're skunking the end
you know these people who have um uh been uh winning the competition for years i mean it's
just it's ludicrous this was part of the propaganda I remember when they pushed this very hard with Billie Jean King and, um, uh, who's the
guy, Bobby Riggs.
And it was rigged.
Uh, he had been involved in another one.
He skunked the current woman's champion in a tennis game.
Then they set that up and everybody was saying that he threw the contest.
And later on, there was a third, one of these battle of the sexes in tennis.
And that was Jimmy Connors.
And he beat one of the top female or the top female player at the time.
It wasn't even close.
But now we see this all the time.
And it is clearly obvious but in spite of that the matriarchy pushers are going to be
pushing that it was the cave women who did all the hunting and gathering you know we have kevin
sorbo who used to play hercules on tv but of course i i never watched that, but I remember him for his narration of The Procedure, that animated film that depicts abortion, as retold by an ultrasound technician who witnessed this, didn't know that he was coming in on that.
But he says, it's time for guys to start acting like real men again.
So he's producing movies and books to get that message across.
And that's what we're going to have with our guest today,
someone who is telling men what their role is.
Their role is to keep their promises and to be the head of a family
and to take the reins of being a man.
But the churches don't even want to hear that anymore.
So he's getting canceled left and right in the churches.
By the way, here in Tennessee, you've got a couple of state representatives,
John Rose, Scott Desjarlais, I think, if I pronounced his name correctly.
They're upset because the U.S. Department of Agriculture is trying to destroy the Tennessee
walking horse industry.
What are they involved in this for?
I mean, you know, horse meat?
I mean, what is the deal with this?
The Department of Agriculture, the USDA, unbelievably tyrannical in trying to destroy.
And again, look, this has nothing to, they shouldn't
have any jurisdiction over this.
Uh, but they have proposed a rule to, um, uh, to essentially shut down the Tennessee
walking horse industry.
This is not about food.
This is about coming after people who live in rural areas to shut that down so they can
force everybody to live in the cities.
Well, take away your ability to earn a living. This is none of this is about CO2. It's not about
nitrogen. It's not about the Tennessee walking horses. This is simply about them taking everything
from you. And so we see the left stream media business insider, of course, you know, this propaganda rag funded by Jeff
Bezos, who owns the Washington post, uh, telling us universal basic income is
working even in red States.
No, it isn't.
It's not working.
Uh, unless you were trying to breed dependency and trying to find a way to
pacify the people who would
normally be upset about it.
If that's what the purpose of it is,
well,
then it is working.
But again,
business insider,
Matt drudge,
pushing the idea that universal basic income is good,
that it's working,
that it even works in Republican areas.
That is absolutely a lie,
but that is really what the lockdown was about as well.
Richard Williams.
Thank you very much for the tip.
He says,
I'm still waiting for the David Knight.
Remember the shot t-shirts.
That's right.
Yeah.
Who gave you the shot?
I should do that.
A truck driver,
Ron,
thank you very much.
I appreciate the tip.
By the way,
that reminds you truck driver,
not,
not truck driver,
Ron,
but another truck driver,
MJ Nichols went on with Jason um, uh, Jason Barker. And they talked about what is happening in the trucking
industry. And that's something that affects all of us, not just people who work in the trucking
industry, because everything we get is dependent on that. And, uh, and just to clarify as well,
MJ Nichols is not the MJ that I referred to the other day. He also sent me an email. So there's a couple of different MJs, but that is a good broadcast.
If you haven't seen that, that's Jason Barker and MJ Nichols.
Got a lot of comments here.
Astounding Infos says, USA creates so many problems and then goes to war to cover up their road apple mentality.
No truth in them, says a rule of thumb for military
tech is at least 20 years ahead of the public's knowledge yeah uh grammy for god says it's never
the people it's always the leaders kwd 68 america leads the world in military drag shows there we
go that's a drag race to the bottom i guess is the word it is. Opossum King, the U.S. military is beaten by farmers wearing bedsheets and sandals,
LOL.
That's about right.
See, that's the whole thing.
And I said that when Biden was bragging about his ability to take away our guns.
We got nuclear weapons and we got jets and all that kind of stuff.
It's like, oh, that didn't work for you in Afghanistan, did it?
That's the whole thing.
That's the whole thing about asymmetric warfare.
And it's also the big concern about why Gaza is going to be,
you know,
as Petraeus said,
uh,
could be Mogadishu on steroids.
There's supposedly 300 miles of tunnels under this 140 square mile area.
Uh,
so,
uh,
yeah,
that is going to be a killing field there, I think.
Rick Sanchez, New Mexico.
If COVID-19 is real, it is in the government's best interest for the opposition to think that it is fake.
Saying COVID-19 is fake is on par with the jabs containing graphene oxide controlled by 5G.
Are we adding false details? I've had a lot of people who took issue with my position
that the pandemic is not real and no basis for it whatsoever, no medical basis for it. And I
stand by that. And I'll tell you why I stand by that. I understand that people got very bad
respiratory illnesses. As a matter of fact, in 2019, Karen and I both got very, very sick.
I missed a couple of weeks of work. It and i both got very very sick i missed a
couple of weeks of work it's one of the reasons why i didn't go to toronto to do a report on the
failed 5g city funded by google up there called sidewalk labs uh i understand that these things
go around i got very sick in 2019 with what they call the swine flu we have different strains of
flu that go around all the time this is the the first time anybody said, well, you know,
we have so many people who have died from this.
And I saw this game every year, every year.
That's why I had so much contempt for what was being done at InfoWars.
Because every year they would play this game.
Oh, this is the worst flu we've ever seen.
And you've all got to go get your flu shot and all the rest of this kind of
stuff. And it's like, well, does your flu shot work you you created these flu shots well before there was
any strain of flu that manifested itself some years are worse than others what was different
about 2020 was the fact that they had a protocol that was designed for politics, for psychological effect, and designed to kill people,
to withhold from them any treatment, and then eventually to withhold very effective treatments
like ivermectin and HCQ and zinc, which is the active ingredient. They would do these things
where they say, well, we gave people hydroxychloroquine. They didn't get better. Well,
you have to give them zinc at the same time. Hydroxychloroquine, they didn't get better. Well, you have to give them zinc at the same time. You know, the hydroxychloroquine helped your body to assimilate the zinc.
So, yes, we have flu every year.
It's a big killer.
It's just that nobody was diagnosed with flu that year.
And so this narrative to say that this is something that was done by gain of function,
well, if it was done by gain of function. Well, if it was done by gain of function, it doesn't even compare to the excess deaths that happened, even when they pull together
every respiratory illness that they can think of in 2020. Even when they include the people that
were killed with remdesivir, the people that were killed with intubation, with ventilators,
all of that together, it doesn't even come close to the people they killed with the
vaccine. And that's why I'm adamant about the fact that there was no pandemic. The pandemic
was the shot. And people like Rand Paul and people like RFK Jr., in my opinion,
are the ones who are adding the false details what they're trying to do is to
get you scared what they're trying to do is to justify what they stood by and let happen that
medical martial law the poisonous injections and the rest of this stuff i'm not convinced it could
have been a a bad year for flu but of course they didn't call it the flu. It was called COVID.
And it was something that was highlighted as something that was special.
Gain of function.
I don't believe that for a moment.
I absolutely do not.
With all of my fiber, I do not believe that this is a gain of function thing.
I believe that it was a gain of power by these people.
It was a psychological operation that was done on people,
and they're still pulling this.
And there's a lot of people in the alternative media who jumped in on that,
and they want to now justify them.
See, I told you all along, I was right.
No, you were wrong then, and you're wrong now, Alex.
You're wrong about this stuff.
You deceive people about that just like you deceive them about the election
uh so yes i absolutely uh do uh believe that that was a lie um
harron h says they're still doing the nasal swabs in virginia oh virginia that's uh
yeah if robert e lee were alive today i think he'd be going to war against Virginia itself instead of men in black.
A false flag is coming to the USA to justify martial law, according to McGregor, Colonel McGregor.
Israel needs to rally the masses against pro-Palestinian public favor all over the USA.
A false flag will give Israel the green light to finish Gaza.
Two million illegal aliens passed through Texas in the last three months.
That's right.
Jason Barker.
Well, we can send them to the war, the men in black.
He's saying, are they gutting our primary defense here as they import a threat?
I think so.
Audi, Modern Retro Radio.
You'd think our servicemen and women would be fed up with these never-ending occupations and escalations.
Well, I think a lot of them are.
But again, they do promise already, promise citizenship for people who enroll.
So I think that we're going to see that increase.
We'll be right back. ¶¶ Sous-titres par LaVacheSquid Thank you. Making sense common again.
You're listening to The David Knight Show. I was hit by a jet ski and I was told by a doctor that I may have only five hours to
live if my liver had been totally destroyed.
And I was faced with all of a sudden this idea that in five hours I might be standing
before the judgment seat of Christ.
I was 30 years old, I knew the Bible very well, I was happily married, I had two kids.
I was very much the epit knew the Bible very well, I was happily married, I had two kids.
I was very much the epitome of a good American Christian.
And I realized at that moment when it was real
and I was laying on a gurney,
I'm gonna get before Christ
and this is gonna be inadequate.
I will not go in with my head held high.
What have I done to help all the hurting people out there?
Not much.
And I realized at that moment
I never wanted to be in that situation again.
Theology in books is one thing. Theology when you're laying on a gurney realizing
I might be seeing Christ in the next couple of hours is another.
When I was on the Los Angeles Police Department and I saw brutal, awful crime
in a really horrific crime area, and then as I got into international business,
I got to see that depravity is in $5,000 suits
just like it's in do-rags and running around with AK-47s.
We see over here on the nice Americanized Christianity
that we have that some people do seem totally transformed
and some not.
Lots of people claim to be Christians.
Lots of people believe in Christ,
but they don't seem that much different
than some of the stuff I saw on the streets of Los Angeles. What's the
difference? Jesus has given us the formula for that difference in the
Sermon on the Mount. Jesus has this list of intense demands that he's put upon us.
Those are the things that are the requirements for living out this life
with great joy and power in him. Well Christ has said, you can be my salt, you
can be my light, you can be the change maker in this world if you follow me, deny yourself, pick up your cross daily.
And by the way, when you're that person, I will shower you with great rewards in eternity
when you get there and a content and joyful life here in this world where you're seeing
change and transformation around you as people see you as this great light of the Holy Spirit.
Have you ever seen how some Christians are so filled with great joy because they have
lived up to the Sermon on the Mount that Christ demands, not for salvation, but for all the
promises after salvation?
So we want to walk through that in a daring faith in a cowardly world, realizing that
the world is counting on us to carry out the good works that Jesus laid down at the beginning
of time for you and I to accomplish.
And if we do that, we will reap great rewards from our Mass when we get to Heaven and say, Lord Jesus, I live for you, I gave all for you,
and have him say, well done, my good and faithful servant.
Okay, and that's our guest, Ken Harrison.
And you saw the book there, this is his newest book, A Daring Faith in a Cowardly World. And so joining us now is Ken Harrison. He is a volunteer chairman
and CEO of Promise Keepers, and he's done a great deal of things in his life. But thank you for
joining us, sir. Oh, thanks, David. I appreciate it. It's really important for us to, I think
Promise Keepers has a very important message, especially for these times
that we live in.
And it is very important for men to understand what their role is.
And you put that out there in a very positive way.
Tell us a little bit about the organization Promise Keepers.
Well, Promise Keepers was the biggest men's movement in the history of the church back
in the 90s under Coach Bill McCartney.
So they were getting together men
filling the nfl stadium 60 70 000 men at a time i remember that yeah yeah and they actually had
a gathering in washington dc in 97 called stand in the gap most people think it was called the
million man march it was called santa gab and they had 1.4 million men together to worship christ for
the day it's the biggest gathering in the history of Washington, D.C. So it was a pretty impactful organization.
It sort of faded out of relevance for a while, but we've been coming back for the last few
years.
Well, that's good.
But yet, you know, as we see so many times in the cancel culture, what is surprising
is to see that Christian venues are now canceling promise keepers because they don't like anything
that is masculine, anything that talks to men about keeping their promises that they make.
Tell us a little bit about that and what's been happening with that.
It is truly amazing.
I saw that and I just was really astounded because, as you point out, promise keepers was so big 20, 30 years ago and now we've got uh liberal churches churches have gone so far to the left that they
want to ban promise keepers for what they call their you know what is their gender ideology
yeah and it's i i've been as shocked as you have um we went to dallas cowboy stadium two years ago
we had 30 000 men there it was a huge event um and then we thought well let's do a bigger tour
we get letters from all over the world saying could you come And then we thought, well, let's do a bigger tour. We get letters from all over the
world saying, could you come here? And we thought, well, instead of doing one huge event in one
location, which takes so much, just a lot of stuff, let's just go to churches. Wouldn't that be great?
And we'll go all over. And we have found we've been canceled and canceled. And a lot of times,
David, it's not about ideology. A lot of times it's just plain about cowardice. So we had
one church come to us, we met with the elders and they said, listen, we agree with you on everything.
We're so sorry. We just don't want any protesters. We don't need anybody to think badly of us. We
don't want to be off the edge from our community. Right. And I mean, if you've read the gospels,
if you read the words of our Lord, you think how in the world could you as an elder of a church literally say, I don't want to be unpopular?
They need it worse than anybody at that church.
That's absolutely right.
And that's what's happened.
That's what we see everywhere.
That's why the church is just disappearing is because nobody will stand for the truth.
And you look at that and you say, well, then maybe you don't really believe it.
So why am I coming to your church? You know, A.R. Bernard is on our board.
People think he's, I don't know if you know who A.R. Bernard is. He has a huge church in New York
City. And a lot of people say, oh, he's woke. He's not woke. He's an incredibly brilliant man.
Huge church in New York City with 40,000 people. And he said something to me that I thought was so
profound. He said, Ken, you know what the difference between a strong preference and a conviction is no let me think about that everybody
at homeless said what is the difference between a strong a strong preference and a conviction
a conviction is not negotiable yes that struck me as so profound because when we see saint jerome being barbecued face down in rome
and after 15 minutes of him singing songs and laughing he finally yells out i'm done on this
side you could turn me over now that's a guy with convictions yeah right yeah now we have churches
saying well we don't want protesters that might make us uncomfortable and the ironic thing about
it is our tour is called daring faith because what we're saying to men is, you started this at the beginning, what is our identity? Who
are we? And as a church, we've gotten this wrong. And the greatest lie is the one that's closest to
the truth that brings you to the wrong conclusion. And the lie that's been seeded throughout the
evangelical church is that we're all sinners saved by grace.
Well, that's true, but it's only half true. Because when you think you're a sinner saved by grace and you stop there, that becomes your identity. I guess I'm a sinner. Instead,
we're sinners saved by grace made into new creations in Christ Jesus for good works,
which were prepared beforehand that we should walk in the Ephesians 2.10. We've been made new
creatures that the Spirit of God has been deposited in each person who's put their faith in christ
now we're sons and daughters of the most high god and we need to act like it so the identity is a
problem because when men see well i'm just a sinner then suddenly we see what we have today
which is well i struggle with porn but i'm trying to do better no you're a new creature you shouldn't be struggling with porn what did what did john say to when everyone showed up on the launch of
jesus's ministry jesus comes to get baptized john looks up and looks at everybody and says repent
you brood of vipers who told you to repent from the for the coming of the lord repent and sow
deeds consistent with your repentance yes that's uh That's something we hear in the church a lot today.
And that was the beginning of Jesus's ministry.
That's right.
Yeah, it's like, you know, if we're going to be witnesses to people,
we got to tell the truth, the whole truth, nothing but the truth, right?
I had George Barnum, he was talking about how people like,
oh yeah, you know, it's like a smorgasbord.
We'll bring a little bit of this thing over there and a little bit of that thing over there.
So we had some things that aren't true to it.
But then the other part of it is that you're talking about is that we don't have the whole truth.
Jesus would constantly heal somebody and say, now go your way and sin no more.
You've been changed.
And if we haven't been changed, and if we don't have that sense of transformation that changes, then we need to go back and we need to say, well, have I really been changed?
Have I been saved?
You know, is that something there?
Because if you have, it's going to work itself out.
And so, you know, we need to constantly, you know, we need to look at that and say, you know, does my life really reflect what I say that it does?
Am I really living that?
And of course, today we're seeing this more and more.
That's why talking about promise keepers, you were kicked out of a private Christian
university in Nashville, out of a church in Cordova, Tennessee, out of a big church in
Houston, and on and on.
And I just looked at this.
I was astounded.
It's like, what wrong with uh telling people to
keep their promises you know and be a good husband and a good father and that type of thing that
you're encouraging men to to take that role uh you know what have we gotten to in a society where
that is something that people hate in churches or christian universities or as you pointed out
they're afraid of the criticism that's going to come their way
yeah i mean the bible says that in the last days love of many will grow cold
because of a lack of teaching doctrine and you know when people listen to this i think they think
well is that am i getting the whole story i mean maybe this ken harrison guy's a real jerk or maybe
he has a bunch of right i mean we're taught to think that way yeah yeah everybody
i'm not a jerk and we really we really have gone with the grace of the lord we just teach god's
word um one of the criticisms we get from people because you know when you have people who want to
spread hatred they don't they're not bogged down by truth you know they say whatever and one of
them is well you know we want to subjugate women. And I'm
quoted all over the place as saying, my role is not to tell women how to behave. I don't,
I stay out of that. I'm not a pastor. I run promise keepers. It's here to tell men how to
behave. So I'm here to tell men how to be humble, gracious leaders in their home, biblically
understand so they can raise their kids. We don't ever mention anything about women or anything like that so um it's all about humility who wouldn't want a husband who's
humble and gracious and knows of the bible and raises his kids right so really it's unbelievable
when you look at the fact that churches are walking away from this and it's terrifying and
i will say but i think that there is a a welcome change in the church coming in that I think COVID changed a lot of things when people realized that they could sit in a robe and watch Francis Chan on YouTube instead of the world.
Yeah.
The megachurch movement has taken over starting in the 80s where, you know, a really good speaker with good music ended up with this this massive campus, and people all went there,
and it was nameless and faceless, and they did their church thing, and they went home. Well,
culture no longer values going to church, and now I don't need to go to church and be nameless and
faceless because I can watch it on YouTube. So, I think what's church about? Church is about
lifting brothers and sisters up in Christ and sharpening each other. So, church is about
relationship and teaching biblical doctrine.
So for those churches that are teaching biblical doctrine, and there's relationships, and I'm
telling you, it starts with the men, because women naturally make relationships, but men
don't.
Those churches are going to be the ones who flourish.
And I think we're going to go back more to a local church where people really know each
other.
They raise each other's kids instead of this nameless, faceless megachurch. And I'll tell you, that's going to be a welcome
time. I agree. I agree. I've seen this in terms of silver linings and what happened in 2020 from
standpoint of I've talked for the longest time to people about schools. And it's like, you know,
don't put your, you know, be careful about what the institution is. Oh, it's not, it's not my school or it's not our school here. And even if it is
our school, it's not my classroom. And then they were able to see what was actually being taught
in the classroom. And so that was a real, you know, wake up moment for people, just like a lot
of the, the zoom church stuff was a wake up and, and churches that said, well, you know what? Um,
they've said that there's a sickness going around.
So maybe we just, it's not important enough
for us to get together, you know?
So you see some things like this.
And it's been really kind of an opportunity
for people to reevaluate the sincerity of the institutions
and to reevaluate what is actually happening in their lives.
And so I do agree with you.
I think it's not going to be everybody,
but it's going to be certainly a lot of people
have awakened to what was going on in their schools,
what was going on in their churches
as they saw this stuff being locked down.
And so that's the unintended positive consequences,
I think, that God is using.
Give us an idea.
You mentioned a little bit of this,
but tell us a little bit about
what a Promise Keepers rally is about.
So this is men talking to men like men.
And so, you know, when you look at a marriage,
you need to have a mother and a father for an optimal raising of a kid.
It's not always possible.
But when little Johnny skins his knee, he needs mom there to say,
Johnny, it's okay.
Let me put a band-aid on.
Let me kiss it, make it better.
But every once in a while, Johnny needs dad to go.
You're not that hurt.
Get up and get going.
Right?
That's right, yeah.
In our society, we're blocking dads.
And so what we have is so many victims running around.
Well, my dad was mean, and so now I'm screwed up.
And my coach didn't play me.
And, you know, excuses.
And so what we're here to say is look that may
be true you may have had a bad father or no father or maybe a lot of things now what are you going to
do about it it's time to stand up and be counted as a man of god because your wife your kids are
counting on you to be a man exercise self-control so that's what this is really about so these are
many events they're friday night only they go from depending on the city like six to nine the first one will be new york city on december 1st and it's going
to be actually globally simulcast for free to to the whole world so anybody who's not near new york
city can just go sign up at promisekeepers.org and get the simulcast we're trying to do that through
churches because again we want to drive a relationship amongst men we don't want sitting
at home in the road we want them out with other men but we're going to take on real issues we're going to have
becca cook there who was a hollywood um major hollywood presence homosexual who got saved to
completely change his life went to talbot seminary so beckett tell us you know we're going to have
an interview tell us how do you witness to homosexuals how should we approach them how did you get saved what if our kid comes to us and says that they're
struggling with this issue like real issues we're going to deal with depression you know 80 of
suicides in america are for middle-aged men so we're going to deal with mental health but it's
all wrapped around christ because that's all that really matters yeah how can we live our lives for
jesus christ abandon to? So it's going to
be very interesting. This is not celebrity driven. This is not come see the big speaker or the big
singer, none of that. This is three hours of sober worship, sharpening each other and real
information that you just can't get anywhere else because we're not going to screw around.
We're not going to tell you you're just so fine and everything is just so great. We're going to
deal with the real issues as Christ did. Repent.
The kingdom of God is at hand.
Right?
That's right.
Well, that's good.
So promisekeepers.org, the first event is going to be December the 1st, in case your church is not telling you about it.
But people can find the live stream there.
And then what is – you've got events that are scheduled throughout the next year,
I guess, as well, right?
Yeah, 2024, we should have a lot of them. I can't announce any of them yet because we have a whole bunch that are scheduled throughout the next year, I guess, as well, right? We have a lot of them.
I can't announce any of them yet because we have a whole bunch that are almost solidified.
And to be honest with you, I've learned that I have to make sure that everything is solid before I announce it unless we get canceled.
Yeah, I know.
Well, it's what we're seeing with libraries.
You know, libraries have been taking over the drag queen story time hours and so you have uh yeah i mean uh as uh you had um uh i can't
think of his name the the actor who started uh uh yes yeah kurt cameron uh as he started going
around doing they started canceling them left and right and and then if they couldn't cancel it
they they created disturbances there and everything i mean it truly is amazing you know the other
people uh have beliefs that they hold very dear, and they will fight against those.
I mean, we're even seeing now for the third time this woman who quietly goes to abortion clinic and prays silently.
For the third time, she's been arrested.
It's just amazing to see that level of persecution all over the place. But as you point out, it is everywhere we turn, men are being denigrated,
being mocked as Homer Simpsons with nothing at all to contribute,
even to the extent they're replacing the caveman with a cavewoman.
It's kind of ridiculous.
But tell us a little bit about your books.
Your first book was Rise of the Servant King.
What the Bible says about being a man.
Tell us a little bit about that, and we'll get into the newer book after that. But tell us
first about the Rise of the Servant Kings. Yeah, that one is a really no-nonsense approach
on being a godly man. It's full of L.A. cop stories, because I was an L.A. policeman,
as you said. I'd done a lot of things. And so there's some stories in there that
the publisher was like, whoa, you don't see these in Christian books.
And I've gotten a lot of real positive feedback.
In fact, I've gotten hundreds of letters from women who have read it and been blessed.
Because it's really a discipleship book, dressed up and then being a man.
Because you've got to learn how to be a disciple of Jesus Christ to learn how to be a real man.
So there's that one.
And then the next one that came out recently is Daring Faith in a Coward world which i love that title and i i didn't come up with it the publisher
did um thomas nelson but it basically says that again we talk about identity people think that
you said the prayer you're saved and now you just have yours and it's time there's nothing left to
do instead actually when you read um what christ said over and over in fact his final words
in revelation 22 he says behold i'm coming quickly and my reward is with me to give to each person
according to what he has done yes christians so the idea here is there will be a judgment seat
of christ second corinthians 5 10 that will all stand before jesus christ doesn't care what we
did before we were saved we were dead in sins. We're saved by grace through faith alone.
However, after we were saved, our lives do matter and we will be judged.
And Jesus says, behold, the person who perseveres doing good works, I will pull him up onto my throne to sit it with me at my father's right hand.
And at the end of Matthew 24, he says that the servant I come to find serving me will be put in charge of many things. And so the idea here is there's a reason to have daring faith, because it will matter for an entire eternity.
It will be rewarded for those who really walk with Christ and those who didn't.
And just to put a cherry on that, you know, because of Promise Keepers, I get to talk to all these famous pastors and be friends with everything.
And a famous theologian who called me out and said, hey, man, I got to tell you, I read
your book.
I heard about it being good about good works for Christians.
And he goes, I sat down with a pen to shred it.
And I was going to go on my radio show and tear you to pieces.
And he goes, when I got done with your book, I was completely convinced.
And now I can't unsee it.
Every time I open my Bible, it's good works, rewards, good works, rewards.
How did I miss this all these years?
Yeah, that's what that's what that book is about and that's this challenge of this tourist men your lives matter greatly and because we think our lives don't
matter is why we're dropping the ball because i david and i know you talk about this but think
about it what they're doing to our children here in colorado when you're six years
old you go to school they want to know what gender you are and i just had someone telling me
their daughter went to school for her first day of first grade and you know are you a boy or a
girl i'm a girl are you sure you're a girl do you want to be a boy i'm really trying to talk her
into being something other than she is why are we not so outraged about what they're doing to
our kids instead to circle back, I see churches
that are caught up in bureaucracy and money and not having protesters and man, oh man, they're
tearing at the core of who we are as a people. We as the people of Christ ought to just have our
hearts being ripped out and in love doing everything we can because as you said, the other
side actually believes this nonsense
because they're deceived by the evil one our enemies are not flesh and blood but they're the
powers and the authorities and powers of darkness we need to be waking people up to the truth
because people know the truth when they hear it and when they really hear truth they're going to
have one reaction or another either repent or they're going to hate you yeah that's what happens
because they're going to be utterly in their deception.
2 Thessalonians 2 and Romans 1, some people are just completely abandoned to their evil
and they're going to hate you.
You're promised.
Jesus promises us that they're going to hate us.
But behind some people, we can rescue.
And what a glorious day that is.
That's why we're here in this world.
I just want to wake Christians up.
Stop being so dang comfortable
stop looking for the approval of the world and start looking for the approval of the one who
matters jesus christ that's if you have an audience of one it's amazing how easy life gets
because you don't care what anybody else thinks right it's sure easier more joyful that's right
uh such great advice yeah you know we we look at things and and it's so easy to fall off one side or the
other and get things unbalanced and so our response to a lot of people who think that they can earn
their way into heaven is to say no you you can't do that there isn't any way that you can uh undo
what has happened only christ can undo that but then as you point out if we don't look at the
fact that he's saved us to good works and to do good things, that's the other.
We can get on one side of the extreme or the other.
It can be all about works or we can all be about grace only.
But it's the combination of those two things that are so important to try to get those in the proper understanding and understand.
Now that we're at this point, I um everybody knows a parable of the talents and and we that's now because of uh the way that was translated as a unit of
silver it was a amount of money that was given to these people and jesus's parable now the people
have said well you know you have certain talents things that god has given you what are you going
to do with that and when we look at that par, the people who don't do anything with what they were given,
they get strong condemnation from Jesus, right?
And so that's the key thing.
That's where we are right now.
You know, look at all of the things that God has given us.
He has given us not only forgiveness, but he's given us abilities.
What are we going to do with that where we are?
That's the key thing that Christians need to be asking themselves right now.
And we have just stopped short of that in so many churches that got the part of the gospel right,
but they also just stop at that point and don't go any further.
You know, that parable, I go into it in detail, but you'll notice the first two servants are given
a certain amount of money and they go go invest it, and they take risks.
The last servant doesn't do anything with it.
And why not?
He doesn't want to take any risk.
And what does Jesus say?
Throw him into the outer darkness.
Okay, so, number one, there's this contempt for him because he was a coward.
And number two, what's the outer
darkness because these guys are all christians they're in heaven so did he lose his salvation
no actually it's pretty clear as you look at over and over again what he's thrown out of is the
wedding feast of the lamb that the wedding feast will be the great culmination of all of history
and all the saints are going to be there and this is why he has weeping and gnashing of teeth people
think that's hell or pain it isn't in the is why he has weeping and gnashing of teeth. People think that's hell or pain.
It isn't.
In the Near East, weeping means sorrow
and gnashing of teeth means anger.
He's angry at his wasted life
and he's looking at the wedding feast of the Lamb
and he's not allowed in because he wasted what God gave him.
And I want to wake people up and say,
don't be that person.
Be the first two servants who went and served the Lord
with what they had.
And that takes courage. And the other thing I want to wake people up to is we have swallowed another
lie of intellectualism where we think if you these guys who sit in their libraries surrounded by
books and criticize other pastors somehow this is the varsity level of of christ just look at
the bible everything is about courage everybody in the bible everything is
confrontation it's screwed up people who are giving all for christ they stood up for something
hebrews chapter 11 is a great hall of faith these are such screwed up people but they just kept
going we're all wanting to screw up but are we going to be courageous are we going to do everything it
takes to raise godly kids and say little sam or little jane what are you learning in school
let's look and see how that what does scripture say about that and getting a little more about
our school board what's going on just the gal at starbucks with the tattoos and the nose ring with
it with a daryl look on her face and saying hey are you okay can i pray for you is there one thing
i can pray for you today i'm telling you if you start doing that
I do it all the time it's amazing how much of my day gets quote wasted because I'll spend two hours
with some woman crying on my shoulder with mascara all over my shirt about her life and try to walk
her through Christ try to find her a good church everywhere we go it's a promise Keepers thing but
we always say if there's one thing I could pray for you, what would it be? It's amazing what that
unlocks with people, but you better be ready. And it's harder to get that with men. You know,
a woman will tell you, you know, what, what is, may tell you that, but it's going to be much
harder to get that from a man, especially if you don't have a relationship already,
even with a relationship, it's harder to get men to talk. And that's why something like promise keepers is,
is really important because we're just not wired that way to,
to,
you know,
um,
uh,
to open up and to talk to other people.
Yeah.
Well,
the course in here for promise keepers is we've got to teach men that
being a man comes from your heart and your character,
not from your performance.
Say that again.
It comes from your heart,
your character,
not your performance. We say, what is a man? a man like oh a man is uh somebody who goes hunting
and who can grow a great beard like david knight or uh is tall and has a deep voice or is a cop or
a navy seal or no man is someone with it comes from inside it's your integrity it's who you are
it says i will defend my family no matter what
i will provide for my family no matter what if i get laid up for my job and times are tough if i
got to work at mcdonald's i'll work in mcdonald's whatever it takes to stand by my kids and my wife
to guard my thoughts and my mind so that all of my sexual energy goes towards my wife and nobody else
now these are things to talk we talk about come from the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ.
You cannot do this through self-effort.
You must do it.
You're dying to self daily.
And as you die to self daily, Matthew 5 through 7 is the whole core of being a disciple.
Jesus there is not giving the recipe for salvation.
He's giving the recipe for becoming a disciple.
As we die to self daily, we can really become men.
It comes from the inside, and suddenly
we find out that I don't care if you're 4'10 and 80 pounds, you have a heart of a lion,
and a heart of integrity, then honesty and courage, because you become a man of God.
But it's another thing we have to wipe out is this idea that masculinity is performance-driven.
It's not. It's heart and integrity-driven.
Yes, I agree.
I couldn't agree with that more.
Yeah, I've said many times that if you're looking to Christ, that is a leverage point,
a fulcrum that's outside of this world.
And that gives you a tremendous amount of leverage to change this world.
And because it's coming from that.
It's coming.
Your focus is not even on changing the world.
That's going to be an outcome that comes from your focus on Christ, having an eternal focus
with that.
But it is very important, as you point out, it's so difficult for men to see this.
You know, women just naturally fall into this.
They fall more into their relationships.
They like school better than we like school.
They like church better than church, you know, like church better than we like church, you know?
And it's just a natural thing for them.
And so men need to have a little bit more of an encouragement,
a counseling, and to understand the importance of the one another,
you know, helping one another.
That's a key thing.
And I think it's very important for promise keepers.
So I'm glad that you're reviving this that it is now uh coming back it really isn't needed at this
point in time here's why um men have always done relationships by doing things together because if
you look at the history of the world you had to do things together to survive so somebody was a
hunter and somebody was a farmer and a rancher and a blacksmith and all that stuff.
So you came together in communities and you had to share skills.
And then we learned who we could trust and who we couldn't.
We saw men in stressful situations.
And if you were not a good guy, you were ostracized.
And if you're a good guy, you're elevated in the town.
Women make relationships by communicating.
And so now what we see is because of all our technological
advancements the world today is all about communicating it's all about facebook and
social media none of that is masked and in fact it's demasculating and if our churches are going
into that too so you come to church and you have a chat and maybe you get together and have tea if
you're really godly you get together and have a bible study at 6 30 in the morning on a friday
but there's nothing in that it's having to do with doing things together as men and that's where
pastors have to be intentional get men together because i can have lunch with you david for 20
years once a week but we won't really be friends i'll tell you what we go hunting for three days
in the backwoods and you shoot an elk that's 300 yards away across another mountain range
you gotta call it
clean that thing and carry it out now we're friends because now i've seen what you really like under stress and you've seen that i'm like under stress you've seen how much we hold each
other's work that's what creates relationships amongst men and so we have to be intentional
about that now because we don't need each other anymore i mean i can i can order ubereats and i
can get stuff delivered from the grocery store and men are being more and more isolated so it's fine there's nothing wrong with women
communicating naturally and men make relationships by doing but then again we have to be intentional
so what promise keepers what we're trying to do is tell men don't get together for bible study
get together with guys who are golfers and golf or hunters and hunters or fishermen or skiers, whatever it is that you do.
And then Bible study will come from that.
But if you try to get together and sit around, you'll just try to do a religious thing and it won't last.
But get together and do something that matters and have scripture and prayer out of that.
And boy, you will become you'll have true friends.
That's a great idea.
Yeah, absolutely.
I think that's right.
I see on your board, one name that sticks out to me is Randy Alcorn.
And, of course, he, I know Randy from his works.
He's done a lot of fiction novels.
He did, that are very well written.
He was a pastor who was at an abortion clinic, and they got a judgment against him,
and for over 20 years he didn't take a penny.
He took like the minimum, which is like $8,000 a year,
said he didn't give any of the money to Planned Parenthood
and just donated all the money from these novels,
which were very successful.
But he's also written about heaven, and he's very much focused on what—
we're not going to be just doing nothing, floating around on clouds, contemplating our navel.
It would be an opportunity for us to work and to create and get involved in a lot of things.
I like his analysis and his way of thinking, but he also writes a lot about money because Jesus talked a lot about money. And that's one of the key things
with men as well. Talk a little bit about what you tell people about money with promise keepers,
because that's such a powerful drag on our lives, just like sex and many other things.
But money has so much of a grip on our lives. Tell people what you tell men about money.
You think about the things in life that are the greatest blessing.
They also could be the biggest curses, right?
Sex, right?
Sex is an incredible thing.
It procreates a species amongst marriage.
I wrote in Rise of the Serving Kings that sex is the only thing differentiates a marriage many other
relationship because anybody can share a bank account and raise kids together it's that makes
this you one flush it's extremely precious and that's why sex outside of marriage is such a
great sin fire think about fire what a great blessing you need to survive think about how
destructive water you need water but boy water can do destruction. Money is freedom. If you have a healthy attitude about it, it's the freedom to do what you'd like to do.
Whenever I have some money and I'm going to spend it on something major, I think, okay, I'm going to go buy a new truck.
I have $50,000 in my hand.
I can do anything with this $50,000 I want to, from getting clean water in Africa to fighting AIDS to buying a big diamond ring.
Whatever I want to do, is this truck what I choose to give that to?
And it's a healthy attitude when you actually think that way.
Debt is bondage.
Debt will destroy you, especially today.
We have a lot of people that are going to end up in massive, massive problems
because interest rates have taken off.
If you had a bunch of credit card debt or you had floating interest rates with what's going on, people are going to get crushed.
I know I'm not trying to be who's the money guy in Nashville.
I forget his name now.
Yeah.
He's always saying, get out of debt.
His name is escaping me as well.
Yeah.
My wife loves him.
If you're in debt debt get out of debt
the thing about money i actually had somebody come to me he's a nfl football player and he said look
i have this love of money i can't get over it i said you don't have a lot of money what do you
mean i go money is a symptom it's it's it's not the disease if you have money there's something
else why do you want money so bad is it because you lack faith
and you think that i never have enough money you know i run a huge foundation and we had one woman
who we went to to give some of her money away and she said oh no i i can't i only have 100
million dollars i have to make sure i can pay the gas she had inherited from her husband she didn't know what the value of dollar was
so um money is great freedom if you understand what to do with it and it's it's a terrible curse
if because it shows who you are so if you're a greedy person why are you greedy it's pride so
if i have a million dollars what would i do with the million dollars i want to go and buy a ferrari
well maybe i really like really fast cars, but probably I want the Ferrari so everybody
will look at me and think how cool I am, right?
I'm not going to judge that person, but what is it I want to do with money?
So that's the thing we tell men, cash, freedom, debt, bondage.
If you're trying to accumulate lots of money, why is that? Because there's people
dying. There's people who need stuff. And I think it's okay to be comfortable. There's a conversation
you can have. I mean, I'll tell you that I used to run a huge company, as you think you all sort
of from your resume. I used to have thousands of employees and made lots of money and created lots
of jobs. And I don't take any money now. I think you know that from Promise Keepers, I get paid
zero. But there's nothing wrong with having money because we can all judge well what
is a lot of money well one day i was in a meeting with a couple of major major pastors and i had to
leave and and this guy said well you got to leave camp but you have to leave i go i got a plane to
catch he said yeah plenty to catch and the other pastor looks at him and goes, yeah, Ken flies commercial. And they both go, you don't have a private jet.
I said, no.
And they're kind of mocking me.
And I go, you know, there's something kind of telling about the fact that the two guys who live off the tithe money of others have private jets.
And the guy who's created tens of thousands of jobs flies on Southwest.
I'll leave that there.
And they both
left but boy i don't hey that's between them and the lord i'm not going to condemn them for it
but i'm going to say for me um southwest airlines is just plain adequate and uh flying somewhere for
400 is a lot different than flying there for 15 000 on a private plane but everyone has to be
their own judge and be convicted in their own
heart by the holy spirit yeah oh yeah that's right dave ramsey eventually you know yeah eventually it
gets there just it's a little bit slower now uh but it's got all these extra paths it's got to go
around blockages i guess to get there get there. But yeah, they ran
Dave Ramsey was always about staying out of debt and that's, that's really good advice.
You know, we want, we don't want to make, but again, you know, with
anything that we do, we can always become obsessive about it, you know?
And I've seen people have gotten obsessive about, um, you know, getting
out of debt and everything, but it is, as you point out, it is a bondage
and, and, um, it's a very dangerous time
to be in that kind of debt especially it's just to me it's just criminal what they're doing with the credit card rates now that they can't get away with 29 i know i know that's that's like the
average it's just astounding to me that we allow that to happen but it's just another one of these
things where you know everybody just like just passively accepted instead of trying to change it.
Tell us what the seven promises of the promise keepers are.
All right.
I'm on vacation, and I cannot walk through all seven of them right now.
Well, first one.
I've got them in front of me, so I've got a cheat sheet here.
Thank you.
Honor God.
Honor God.
Tell us a little bit about that, and we'll do the next one.
Honor God is the whole point of our lives, right? And how do we point that out? And one of the things I point out all the time is honor God. We were just talking about how you
can change things to a negative that are a positive. One of those things is honoring the
name of the Lord and not using the Lord's name in vain, right? And a lot of people think that
means saying G- means saying god for something
oh god i can't believe you just did that that's certainly not a healthy thing but that is not
using the lord's name in vain using the lord's name in vain is actually something much more
nefarious and something done all the time in the church and let me tell you right now i cannot tell
you i speak all over the country how many people walk up to me and say the lord told
me that you right how many times have i said i have a word from the lord i don't know this person
i have a word from lord and my my first response is what verse is it yeah but yeah people manipulate
and use others with this business of putting things in the name of the lord that are not in
the name of the lord and i'll keep i name of the Lord. And I could keep going.
People who come up with doctrinal points and say, well, God said this.
Well, you shouldn't drink alcohol because when Jesus drank alcohol, it was really just grape juice.
Well, maybe it was and maybe it wasn't, but you don't know that.
Right?
So, using the Lord's name in vain is attributing things to God that God didn't say.
Right?
And I use an example in Rise of the Sermon Kings on this.
We talk about how somebody said they gossiped about another person or slandered that person.
And they said, even Ken Harrison agrees with me.
Well, in fact, I didn't agree with him.
His buddy called me up and said, hey, you agree.
I said, actually, I don't.
But he was using Ken Harrison's name in vain in that, right?
Trying to give himself authority by attaching it to me that's what we do to lord all the time
so honoring god there's a lot i could go into on that but rather than to preach the whole sermon
i just want to pull that one thing out don't concentrate on the little easy obvious god as
a little euphemism make sure that you look at your heart and you're not using and attributing
things to god that are not god they're really you your opinion and maybe your opinion is true
but it's better to say in my opinion or the way i read this passage or my life experience has told
me right but but do not go around saying thus saith the lord if he didn't say it that makes
you a false prophet yeah yeah kind of a name-dropping that's out there.
And, you know, I also look at it, I heard somebody say once,
we call ourselves Christians, you know, that really comes from kind of a combined thing of Christ's men, right?
And so, and Jesus said, why are you calling me Lord, Lord, if you don't do what I say? And so we can, by calling ourselves Christians, we don't really care what Jesus says.
That's a way, I think, of taking God's name in vain.
But there are people who deliberately do it.
And I find that that, I've told the story to my audience before.
Karen and I, years ago, probably about 25 years ago, we went to see Penn and Teller perform.
I saw them too.
Yeah, and they're funny.
But at the end of his, kind of towards the end of the thing, after they'd been there for a while, he starts talking about language.
He says, you know, I really hate it when people use the F word.
They use it for every form of speech.
They use it as an adverb and an adjective and all the rest of that stuff.
And he goes, it just makes you look stupid because you don't have any vocabulary.
So I refuse to use that.
He says, I deliberately take the name of Jesus in vain because I want to blaspheme.
I don't believe any of that stuff.
And so my wife and I got up and walked out.
But it was really very deliberate from him.
A lot of people don't realize that they're doing that, but I think, as you point out, this name-dropping or to say that, you know, I'm a Christ follower
when you're really not, that really is a very serious thing, I think, that we need to look at
ourselves and say, well, am I guilty of doing that in a different way? You mentioned your second
promise is brotherhood. Tell us a little bit about that.
Brotherhood is one of the things that we hear so often now is about we shouldn't let men get together unsupervised by women.
Right.
I didn't bring up a different church.
There's another mega church that we've been having problems with right now that a bunch of major leaders have come together.
And so we want you to go to this church.
And the pastor of that church actually called me and said i have a question for you yeah why aren't women allowed to promise keepers events uh because it's a men's
ministry no because well i i just don't think that's right well i said let me ask you do you
have women's gatherings women's well yeah all the time so what why do you have women's gatherings
all the time and not men's gatherings why is it that you're only critical of men's gatherings well that's a good point but let me ask you this then
why don't you have any women pastors preaching to the men so let me ask you a point why are you so
obsessed on that yeah if we're if men talking to men like men why would i want a woman there
because when when you put one woman in it changes how men behave men will be authentic
you know you go to promise keepers event you'll see you guys falling on our faces and tears i mean
the stories um that come out of these events have changed lives but there's a when there's a woman
there men feel like they need to change it's whether it's fair or not i'm not saying it's
fair i'm just saying what it is it was amazing to me that in our culture another thing is somehow men are not allowed to get together.
There must be something going on in there that we don't know about.
It's an amazing thing.
So, you know, again, I'm taking these things on in a small way.
But brotherhood is very important.
Men need to get together with other men and just hang out, as we talked about a little bit.
And sometimes women don't totally understand that.
But I think when you put it the other way, one of the things I teach people,
I was just asked this the other day, gee, you've been married for 33 years.
What's the secret to having a great marriage?
And I said, well, I got 30 seconds to answer that question.
I will just say empathy.
Empathy is the number one thing, put myself in the shoes of my wife and say,
how does what I just say sound to her?
Right?
Or anybody else in the sake of marriage.
This thing here, too, for women to think,
well, when women get together and have tea or whatever,
it's no big deal.
Same thing with men.
And women need to stop and just go, you know what?
For my husband to get together with godly men and
go golfing and go fishing those are important things because this is how men sharpen each
other is by doing things together so brotherhood is incredibly important and again the lies of
satan and the world are trying to keep men from getting together because if they do they just
might plot how to make the world a better place that's great i love that integrity another promise integrity
um that is at the heart of man what will i compromise we talked about what's a conviction
what's a strong preference will i give all for the truth you know that revelation 21 8 has a list
of eight sin it says if you are typified by these sins you are not saved it
literally says here's eight sins if you're an adulterer a murderer a sorcerer an idolater
all liars will for sure have their share in the lake of fire that burns forever never
i left the first one out you know what the first one on that list is it's pretty shy cowards
cowards cowards is the thing that god says i'm going to start this list off of people that shows
for sure you're not a christian coward that doesn't mean if you've committed a cowardly act
because i think we all have yeah if it defines you just like lying you know if it's defined yeah
so integrity because so much of a lack of integrity comes from cowardice
right i even say it's funny because the list starts with cowardice and ends with all liars
well liars and cowards are kind of the same thing i mean why do people like us are cowards right
yeah they're trying to create something that's not really true about themselves because they're
afraid of something somewhere integrity is i will not depart from the truth no matter what the cost.
And that takes great courage.
Courage is, again, one of those things.
All these are the things we can define.
They mean something.
I know what it means to be pious.
I know what it means to be generous.
But courage is sort of this all-encompassing thing.
What is courage?
And courage is integrity.
It says I will not bend no matter the cost
what's that going what's that going to take and i define courage and daring faith in the coward
the world is um refusing to compromise no matter what the cost is whereas cowardice is um not doing
the right thing because of fear for something because we're all afraid well
and the guy that that that charges the machine gun nest in the middle of a war
he's terrified yeah he just does what needs to get done that's right yeah that's a great definition
uh family talk about that what what is the promise of family malachi chapter three um people like malachi what is that i know
balakai one of my favorite books in the bible everybody listening you have a chance to read
malachi it's the last book of the old testament and it's absolutely fascinating i could i preach
whole messages on malachi but in malachi chapter 3 god says i hate divorce because because why because i'm jealous for godly offspring
family is the most important thing you can do as a man of god is to raise godly kids to pass it on
to the next generation there's lots of things that we have to do i'm not minimizing other things but
i am saying that being coach mccartney who started promise keepers used
to say most loving thing that a man could do for his kids is love their mother that's a that's a
that's a hard statement especially if you're divorced or you you know had about problems but
literally most loving thing you can do for your kids is to love their mother godly man needs to
be dedicated to his family because this is the building block of the church of community. If you have a strong family with godly kids, with a happy wife because she's cherished by her
husband. Another free advice thing I'll give on family and marriage because I get asked about this
a lot. The number one complaint you get from men is what? In marriage, a lack of intimacy.
Then there's money and there's in-laws. are the three big things but the lack of intimacy is number one by far i tell guys absent a whole long thing to tell them
usually a lack of intimacy is because your wife doesn't feel cherished if your wife feels
cherished that means she feels safe protected she is the the apple of your eye i'm telling you it
has a massive effect on the intimacy level of
marriage that's fantastic yeah that's fantastic great advice of serving serving it's an amazing
thing um the godliest person is always the one who serves the most not the one who rules the most
and we really have power wrong when we look at Jesus Christ,
right? So we have the ultimate power. Jesus said, I can call down angels and wipe all these people
out right now if I want to. But instead, he lowered his head in humility, and he says,
that's the person I'm going to elevate in the last days. See, Ephesians chapter 3 says that,
it's a fascinating verse that I'd read a million times. A friend of mine, Tim Dunn,
points out to me one day, and I'm like, how could I not have seen that? It says that God is
teaching the full extent of his wisdom to the powers and the authorities in the heavens
from the church, which is you and me, David. Now, what world do you or I have to teach the angels
that have run for millions of years? What's the one thing, what's the one experience that we have that they don't have? We live life by faith. This is our one chance.
This lifetime that we have, the Bible says that the angels look on us with fascination.
They can't understand it. They see things as they really are. We see things as through a glass
darkly, it says. I think it's in James. So this is the one chance we have to make
a massive impact for the rest of our lives. What will we do today? And this is why it's so important
to not be tied into what does the world think? What's the world's opinion? Truth is eternal.
It's not dictated on what the United States of America's culture happens to think.
It's dictated on what does God say at the beginning of the foundations
of time. This is truth. I have a very strong conviction on gravity, and therefore you won't
find me walking up to a cliff and jumping off, right? Do I have that same conviction on the
trust, on the promises that the Lord Jesus made in the Bible? Frankly, no, I don't. I have a lot
of faith compared to most people but jesus
isn't comparing me to most people comparing me to the truth of heaven how far am i in that
conviction could you or i be like saint jerome being barbecued and singing songs and going i
can't wait to get to heaven because man is my reward gonna be great yeah not i don't know that
i ever will be but i sure am striving towards that so oh that's that's fantastic
uh number six unity unity really a lot of that goes around racial reconciliation which is um
something that promise keepers was really big in the 90s promise keepers actually kind of the
originator of diversity and all this bringing different races together um i do think like we
talked about earlier it's one of those things that can become a god. It can take over where you're at. If you're saying, I'm just going
to love a black man today because I'm white, and I'm going to, well, that's not going to do anybody
any good. Is it coming from a heart of Christ? So unity is about unity in every aspect.
If you look at our board, you started to mention our board of directors and randy elkhart's on our pastor's board and i've known randy for she's 45 years um i've tried to get
him on when i reached out to him last time his wife was dying of cancer and i certainly understood
he wasn't doing interviews at that point in time yeah he's a good good guy but if you look at our
board you know we have senator lankford who's a baptist pastor before he became a u.s senator and we have um uh sam rodriguez who's a pentecostal pastor and we have
you know pentecostals baptists everybody around we're unified around the cause of of what we've
been talking about not around doctrinal differences and we have great doctrinal differences i mean
sam is an eye um we've we've had some some two-hour great debates on different doctrinal issues, and we love each other, and there never is anger.
So unity is around racial unity, about understanding other people have different experiences.
It's also understanding theological differences.
It's okay to disagree.
It's okay if you believe in speaking in tongues and I don't.
It's okay if you're pre-trib and i'm post-millennial and all those things these are things just to to sharpen each other and have
good conversations on i just had a pastor of a small church but very intellectual he gave a great
podcast on post-millennial which is something i really didn't understand called him up explain
that to me you know here's how i see it and he said well here's how I see it. And he said, well, here's how I see it. He'd studied.
And we had a great conversation for an hour and a half around those issues.
We need to come to each other in humility, but in unity and say, boy, you see this differently than I do.
I really want to learn from you.
I did have that majorly controversial issue in the church.
And I went to a main huge pastor and I sat down and I said, look, you believe this and i don't believe that and i don't understand why you believe it he goes you really want to have this
debate i go i don't want to have a debate i want to learn from you i want to learn why you think
that way because maybe i'm missing something and after two hours i realized i wasn't missing
anything but but this is the this is the spirit with which we need to come together as christians
sure sure yeah you're you're not compromising on truth,
but you want to understand where they're coming from
and have that discussion.
Promise seven, the final one here, obedience.
Well, isn't that the foundation of everything I've just said, isn't it?
I mean, in your book, Jesus said,
if you love me, keep my commandments.
I was in a major meeting
of mega church pastors like 40 of them and we were all sitting around on something and i was
invited i don't know why i was invited but i'm sitting there and somebody was reading from luke
and one of the pastors and i realized afterwards most of these were really liberal mega church
pastors and he said um i don't i don't believe in that
jesus so that jesus was mean and my jesus was never mean so i said to him well it says in luke
you know jesus said i came to set the world on fire and how i wish it was already a light
that sounds pretty mean to me and jesus said well i choose not to believe in that jesus and i said
well if you don't believe in that jesus then you don't believe in jesus you believe in an idol
called jesus and i think that's where we're at today, is a lot of people
don't actually know Jesus. They don't know who he is. They have invented a God in their own heads,
and they've slapped the name Jesus on them. Because if you read the Gospels, you'll see
Jesus was extremely confrontational around truth, never around frivolous issues. God said to
Jeremiah, if you speak noble words and not worthless ones, you will be my spokesman.
So it is, as a Christian, we will be in confrontation all the time.
It's upon us, though, to speak noble words and not worthless ones.
It's not about whether we're getting in screaming arguments about who belongs in the national championship.
Is it Oregon or is it Alabama?
Or whether there should
be a border wall but we do be very diligent about all the issues we've talked about today if you
love me keep my commandments that defines a man or woman of god well i tell you there's a lot of
wisdom in what you've had to say here and i'm sure there's a lot of wisdom in your book a daring
faith in a cowardly world.
And, uh, I will be picking that up and it's available at Amazon and everywhere.
The books are sold.
Um, uh, I'm, I'm assuming that it's at a promise keepers.org and, and you've got a website as well.
Tell us, uh, the address of your website.
I had it here, but I lost it.
Uh, where can people find you, uh, in particular?
KenRHarrison.com.
KenRHarrison.com. Ken R. Harrison.
Okay.
Yeah.
There's a whole lot of Ken Harrisons out there.
One of them is a gay porn writer.
So don't, don't go.
Oh, okay.
That would not be me.
So remember R, R, that's the one you're going to go to.
And someone who's had, you've had so much experience as a, as a CEO of international
company, a Marine, a police officer.
But I think that probably you are definitely suited for what you're doing right now at Promise Keepers.
Thank you so much for what you're doing.
Appreciate it.

The Common Man They created Common Core to dumb down our children.
They created Common Past to track and control us.
Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing and the communist future. They
see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us
has worth and dignity created in the image of God.
That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away.
Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know
everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose
what they want to hide. Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com.
Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing.
