The David Knight Show - 4Dec23 NZ Raids Pharma Whistleblowers — An Admission the Info About Vax Was Both True and Damning

Episode Date: December 4, 2023

Greg Gutfeld celebrated for saying "two words" that aren't supposed to uttered on FOX— "Tucker Carlson". But Greg won't say these TWO WORDS: "PFIZER MODERNA". "Conservative" press ignores NZ whistleblower exposing the vaccine deaths even as the government SWATs his house and another whistleblower. That's the government way of verifying what he said Texans collect enough signatures to put secession on the GOP primary ballot. Could Texas go it alone? Could other states? The power grid has a greater vulnerability than EMP — cyberattacks. Here's what it would do and how easily it can be done. NYC begins the first step toward banning cars in the city — $15 to enter. And THOUSANDS in fines if caught by their new "NOISE CAMERAS". (The company creating them will be trying to partner with a government near you for highway robbery.) Trump brags that Drudge has gone down after criticizing him. Down perhaps for going left but it would have been much worst if Trump wasn't boosting views as he did for CNN & MSNBC Pastors pray for Trump in Iowas — but WHAT they pray for tells you about their heart, and Trump's. Trump says if "Jesus comes down" Trump would win easily. When Jesus "comes down" or Trump goes into the ground, the Presidency will be the least of his concerns Maduro considers invading his neighboring country — and puts it up to a vote. Pope wants to "de-masculinize" the church. He's way too late. But an interesting choice of terminology American Psychiatric Association admits they're not scientific in the latest whopper of a textbook for transgenderism The Fed Reserve is losing money but they set their own accounting rules. Surprised? Besides, they made over TRILLION dollars in the decade after 2008 Great Recession that THEY caused. Also, learn how the Consumer Financial Protection Board is funded which may explain why it is THE most arrogant bunch in the swamp Biden's IRS brags it will use AI to come after taxpayers — so WHY THE MASSIVE HIRING SPREE? It will be super aggressive. IRS just TRIPLED penalty for under withholding. A law unto itself NO CASH for Clunkers — EU to Seize Older CarsFirst bribes, then the banks and mandates. People don't want EVs so government will steal your ride. And don't think they'll let you drive or even possess your EV for long The ludicrous COP28 — 28th anniversary of lies, alarmism and NO CLIMATE CHANGE Kerry "Self-Ratifies" Another Treaty — It's Time Senators Call His BluffThe conservative site headline says "US Signs New Pact to Shut Down All Coal Plants". That's not the way the Constitution works. This is an existential issue that those who took an oath to the Constitution MUST oppose — Will ANY GOP Senators oppose this usurpation? The same issue will be presented in WHO Treaty Paris Climate "Accord" moved energy and manufacturing (our income) to China who is allowed to build as many (and as dirty, unfiltered) power plants as they wish. Now COP28 will transfer Western wealth (our savings) to 3rd world countries in the name of climate change reparations. Biden begins by pledging BILLIONS King Charles may destroy what's left of public opinion supporting the monarchy with his political climate activism.Money is only what YOU hold: Go to DavidKnight.gold for great deals on physical gold/silverFind out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @[e-mail] App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7For 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to TrendsJournal.com and enter the code KNIGHTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

Music Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Welcome to today's show. Today is Monday, the 4th of December, Year of Our Lord 2023. We have some interesting news about censorship that has affected this program, and we'll talk about that at the very beginning. And we're going to talk about what is going on with the massive ripoff in the organization that is now working to steal our food, our money, after they've already transferred our energy to China.

I'm talking about COP 28 and this pretended treaty of John Kerry. He keeps writing these treaties, and they have absolutely no value under the constitution we'll be right back Well, let's talk a little bit about censorship. It's back in another way for this program. You know, we had over the weekend, it kind of galled me to see Greg Gutfeld being celebrated by everybody. Oh, look at this. Look at how brave he is. He's on Fox News and he says, well, you want to talk about activist advertisers? Well,

let's talk about Tucker Carlson. Two words, he says, two words. Why don't we talk about Pfizer Moderna, Greg? The people who write your paycheck ultimately. The people that you won't criticize. The people that Tucker Carlson wouldn't criticize. My podcast was taken down on Spreaker on Friday I'll give you one guess why I put up a headline simply murder New Zealand whistleblower brings the receipts yeah very important this is the thing that Greg Gutfield these limited hangout people who know better tucker carlson you know with his eye rolls when people talked about the vaccine but he wouldn't say anything is he saying anything now is tucker saying anything now is gutfeld saying anything now you know tucker's not going to get the sponsorship of pfizer moderna removed from him on twitter

so why doesn't he talk about it? Well, I think that if he were to talk about it, he would have to criticize his golden ticket, Donald Trump. He's not going to criticize Trump. He's not going to criticize the Trump shots. He's not going to tell people that these shots are killing people, crippling people, giving them turbo cancer, the rest of the stuff. I just, I look at this and, you know, it's one thing to see these people cheer war.

That's pretty obvious. But it's just as obvious for these people that they know that this is killing people. It takes more than an eye roll, Tucker. I had somebody leave a comment, said, oh, this is on the show. I forget where uh leave a comment said oh this is uh on the show i forget where it was i said this is really important we need to make this go viral we need to get this to tucker carlson about what is being revealed in new zealand and uh i looked at that and i i just are you are you serious do you really think that tucker car Carlson would talk about any of this stuff? He didn't talk about it when it was happening?

Here we are three years into it. He's no longer at Fox. His paycheck is not being written by the pharmaceutical companies like Greg Gutfeld and like it used to be when he was working at Fox. But he knows where his paycheck is coming from. And he knows where the jabs came from. And he knows where the jabs came from. And he's not going to talk about that. So on Spreaker, we have been there for three years, over 700 episodes. It has been monetized, except when I turned it off,

because of their sponsorship of Pride Month, this last night. And that was a big financial hit. And, you know, it was pretty important, the money that we get from them. It was about a third of our budget. And so they've taken the entire podcast down. And what they said was, well, it was flagged as spam. Why don't you tell me who flagged it as spam? I wonder, when I accused the pharmaceutical companies of being murderers and when I accuse Trump of being a murderer and when I accuse the FDA and the rest of these people who want to shut this down, even though they've been shown over and over again that the vaccines are contaminated, that the vaccines have clearly killed more people than other products in the past that they have banned. You have a couple of baby cribs, like I've said, you know, and this motion caused a baby to get choked to death.

So they're going to do a recall on it. Two kids. Fine. I understand. I don't oppose that. But you're going to bring back all the baby cribs for two kids that are babies, two babies that are killed in their crib? And you're not going to do anything about these shots are you serious these people are murderers let me underscore that murderers

all uppercase if i could shout it any louder i would so uh now it's spam it's spam after 700 episodes three years it's spam it's speaker it's spam. It's spam. After 700 episodes, three years, it's spam. It's speaker. It's coming. It's coming everywhere. This kind of censorship. And if they don't agree that it's murder, you know, they could debate it. Oh, but they won't, you see.

Because that's one of the hallmarks of this stuff. You know that they know that they kill people when their response is to just censor you but that's not all that they did liz gunn who did the report and i began the program by playing a nine minute report with a whistleblower that liz gunn journalist was doing in new zealand and they didn't just take down her channel. What they did was they gave her a SWAT team arrest. Here's Liz Gunn talking about what happened. I'm Liz Gunn, and this is an emergency call around the world from New Zealand. Today is Sunday, the 3rd of December, 2023. I'm out in the car that we have. I've had a call to say that the whistleblower

who has put out the crucial information exposing the COVID lies, exposing the information that he had working for the Ministry of Health in New Zealand, has had his house surrounded by police at 2.15 today. It has been swarming with police. The time now is almost five o'clock. I have not gone public yet because I wanted not to inflame the situation, but why are the police there still? And this I heard 10 minutes ago, as well as that 10 minutes ago, the second person who backs up that whistleblower and one of the people who contacted me along with the whistleblower has had her house now surrounded by police. So those two people are no longer available to talk to us and I must put this message out to the world. I would remind the new New Zealand government under Luxem that you must get out the truths

and show you are different from the tyrannical Ardern government. This is a massive challenge for you. This is where you show New Zealand what kind of a government you will be. And particularly you, Winston Peters. Winston, I came around to your house on the eve of putting the information out. I reached you by phone on message. I said, I have something very important to offer you. You got into government promising New Zealanders

that you would stand up for what we call the freedom truth-telling movement, that you would put out a full COVID inquiry. The whistleblower tried to reach you as well. I gave him your number, and he said that he would give you all the information. We were both willing to give you the first drop and make you the hero politician of the world. We are still willing to do that,

but I am calling on you, Winston. I am calling on you. Help these people. Make sure Luxon calls off the police. Make sure they are freed immediately. Make sure that this whistleblower is honoured as a New Zealand hero for telling the people of the world the truth. The eyes of the world are upon New Zealand, Winston Peters. Not only that, on a personal note, Winston, you know, as I do, my father in the 80s stood by you when no one would listen to you when you wanted to get the wine box information out. That involved a whistleblower.

It was my father who advised Peter Williams to also stand next to you. And it was they who said to the braying press wanting your blood, Winston should be honored for putting this story out. Well, here it is, karmically. Now I call on you to return that favor that my father did for you. And beyond that, Winston, I did an incredible interview for you at the beginning of the election campaign that helped you get into government. There is no doubt about that. I am asking you, Winston, show that you really meant what you said when you stood in this election and got all those freedom votes. Beyond that, New Zealand and the

world, you must send messages to this new government under Christopher Luxon, care of the New Zealand Parliament in Wellington, around the world demanding that the whistleblowers be freed and me too if they come for me. This is absolute tyranny. There are two things at play here. Yes, the Ministry of Health data is important to protect the privacy, but there is a greater importance. The greater importance is if a government is shown to be criminal, then it is absolutely essential that the people of that country find a way to expose that criminality. And that is what I have done here as a reporter, as a journalist. That is a journalist's role. And that is what the whistleblowers have done. That is what whistleblowing is about. This is major criminality on a level of Watergate.

It's also major truth-telling, showing the world what has been done in terms of murder around the world. You either stand by these whistleblowers, or you are going to see this sort of tyranny come to your home, your door, in future years, and if not you, the doors of your children. We will all be prisoners in future years if the world does not stand by and with and stand up for these whistleblowers. Help New Zealand. We are in dire straits if this new government

perpetrates the tyranny and brutality of Jacinda Ardern's ghastly government. This is the challenge. This is when it really counts. Please help. Contact Winston Peters, chair of the New Zealand Parliament. Demand that he stands up as well.

It is crucial. It is crucial that they are freed. Well, she's exactly right. These politicians, these spineless politicians, will also be slaves. And in many cases we see, when there's a revolution like this, by the tyrants in charge, the other politicians who are their enemies will be the first ones up against the wall. That's what I said when they began censoring free speech five years ago,

in a big way, in a very overt way. Of course, it had been happening quite a bit before that as well. For the last 10 years, I have been censored. And the first video that I did was on the Federal Reserve. First one that got censored. First thing that Infowars ever did that got censored was on the Federal Reserve. And so when we look at this uh you know i got kicked off of youtube subsequently because i said 2020 was the year the world became

china this is the chinese communist party's uh mal's america shivan fleet said and so um when we look at this she's appealing this guy named win. I don't know who this guy is, Winston Peters. Sounds to me, though, like he's the Winston in 1984, who's finally come around to saying 2 plus 2 equals 5 and flushing history down the memory hole. But, of course, she says the eyes of the world are upon this. No, you know, the eyes of the world are really focused on Trump. They're focused on Tucker. They're focused on Gutfeld. You look at the amount of talk about those people, Gutfeld, Gores, Fox, all the rest of this stuff, that's what everybody's

focused on. While we're being put into a mass program of democide, global depopulation, global enslavement. Instead, this circus on Fox News of people like Greg Gutfeld, a comedian, evidently, I think is where he came from, who doesn't really have anything to say about anything affecting the global governance, the surveillance and control, the slavery system that is being imposed on us now. Completely silent. Just as Tucker Carlson always was about Building 7. Claims. Do you have any of those? Sure, sure. Let's start with the collapse of Building 7. Can you roll the video clip that I sent to you? Okay, I'm not sure if we can, but it's specified. Maybe there's some kind of code. You just don't show the collapse of Building 7. I don't know what it is. They don't care if you think the earth is flat. It's not a threat to anyone. But if you say, like, what actually happened with Building 7?

That is weird, right? What is that? If you were to say something like that on television, they'd slip out. They would slip out. So you'd, like, lose your job over that. Why? Why? This is World Trade Center 7 just before it collapsed on September the 11th, 2001. It had not been hit by an aircraft.

It had been damaged by falling debris and fire. But by 5.20 p.m., most of the fires have been extinguished. Although the building was 47 storeys high, it doesn't fall sideways, nor collapse unevenly. For this to have happened, all of the building's vertical supports must have given way at almost exactly the same time. Yet the Federal Emergency Management Agency reported that the collapse was due primarily to fire. But what does it look like to you? Yeah, you're going to believe your lying eyes,

or you're going to believe Tucker Carlson. Because Tucker Carlson lied to you for 22 years. And then in that confession, he said, yeah, I'd lose my job if you tell the truth. You'll lose your job. And he's still not telling the truth. So who is Tucker still working for? And why won't he tell you the truth about the vaccines? Why won't he even go close to that again?

Because he's working for an audience that wants to believe only the best about Donald Trump. And only the best about Tucker Carlson. So Greg Gutfeld says, Musk realizes that advertisers have no spine and can easily be cowed by special interest groups and cahoots with political allies. And if you don't believe me, I've got two words for you. Tucker Carlson. I look at this and it's like, you know really don't there's two things i don't understand in this world he says two words tucker carlson well there's two things i don't understand uh tucker carlson and taylor swift i don't understand those as phenomenon i don't

understand why people uh focus in on them yeah i Trump. I understand why they focus on Trump. They bought into that when he was looking like he was going to be the outsider who was beholden to no one and he was going to shake the system up. And then when it became clear with his cabinet that he was either an insider or clamoring to be accepted, and I think it's the latter. And then when he betrayed us in 2020, I don't understand their continued support, but understand that they bought into it so much. They can't pull themselves back.

Yeah. People were very reluctant to admit they were wrong. Aren't they? That's one of the key things. LifeSite news said, all right, let's understand. Every politician had a hand in what happened in 2020, including people like DeSantis. But I haven't heard anybody, except for DeSantis. I didn't read there. I just saw the headline.

But I haven't heard anybody other than DeSantis say that he made mistakes and wouldn't do it again. Have you heard anybody else say that? I mean, that's an important thing. We all make mistakes. And if you can't even say that you made a mistake, if you're somebody like Donald Trump, where he never makes mistakes, it's always the other people. Or Benjamin Netanyahu, for example, right? Yeah, it wasn't his fault. It was all these people who'd been telling him what was going to happen from Gaza for over a year. It was their fault. It wasn't his fault. And so when you have people like that, um, anyway, uh, I just don't understand Tucker. I don't understand the whole Taylor Swift thing,

but, um, Tucker Carlson says that he thinks of the free speech, the fate of free speech hinges on X. Well, that's fine. But, you know, what's the point, Tucker, of having free speech if you sit there and you know that the government is killing people with lethal injections and you say nothing about it? What's the point of having your free speech? Is it so you can make $25 million a year? You disgusting sellout. And when you look at this, right, 9-11 is not disconnected to what happened with the vaccines. You know, we had two planes in New York, two buildings were hit by planes. And we had a third building that just collapsed. And it all collapsed at the same time. All the floors were not on fire at the same time. It was just a little bit

of black smoke. Couldn't even see any flames. And yet it just collapsed. It wasn't hit by a plane. Just collapsed on its footprint. Well, the other shoe has dropped now. So we've had three buildings taken down by two planes. And So we've had three buildings taken down by two planes. And now we've had a global pandemic that they had. They began planning that two months before 9-11, as I've told you many times. And then a week after they had the health scare. The anthrax false flag attack.

All indications indicate that it was a CIA. The only place that that anthrax was available was in two CIA labs. And the CIA and the FBI pointed the finger at an individual who they scapegoated, who subsequently died or committed suicide or was killed. And he didn't work at one of those two labs and so this whole thing was engineered by the cia just like dark winter was run by the cia and then in that panic of the anthrax attack in 9 11 they put out legislation to lock everything down and we've just had a major reversal of the quarantine isolation orders in New York.

And that is something that we always knew was illegal, done under color of law. You know, even if you pass, and this is key, if you look at the Model State Health Emergency Powers Act, that was done then, you know, two months after 9-11, sample legislation sent out to all the states and said, here, give yourself the power to do this. Trying to get around the 10th Amendment to make sure that when they had somebody like Trump in place, that Trump and Fauci could say, it wasn't me. It was the states who did this.

Well, all the legislation and the model for doing this and the planning and the rehearsal and it came from the federal government. And they're just as responsible for this as the government is responsible for censorship. The government likes to say, well, it's not us censoring anybody. It's all these Silicon Valley companies. And they're just a bunch of, you know, bedwetting liberals out there who want to censor anything that offends them. And so, you know, they always use this. They always say, well, it's not the federal government. It's the corporations.

It's not the federal government. It's the state governors. And it's not even the Republican state governors. It's the Democrat state governors. Well, the guy who was the first one to pull out of this and did more to pull out of it than anybody else desantis that amia culpa nobody else has done that and again i've criticized him for not going far enough he only took a few baby steps but to say that you did the wrong thing and to reverse course even slightly that's pretty big in today's environment uh and you know once he's doing that,

the Republican establishment billionaires turn the other direction. Why? Because it is a global corporatocracy, and these people all hang together. If we hung together like the globalist corporate billionaires, we could change things, but we don't. And so you need to understand that this is not a separate issue 9-11 is not one thing and the pandemic another and tucker has been there from the very beginning i remember when they were putting this kind of stuff out you know he gets the guy on who's a physicist phd physicist to explain to him i guess know, what free fall gravity and how that affects objects that don't have any

support because all the support has been blown out simultaneously. But you know, he goes, let's show the film. I can't show you the film. Not going to show you the film. And he was on record as saying, these people, these people call themselves truthers. He said, it's just crazy. They ask you questions like what's the melting point of

steel. And they ask you questions about free fall buildings. They're crazy. He said, yeah, crazy. Just like, you know,

during the 2020, yeah. People asking questions about the vaccine or the pandemic. Why, why are we declaring a global pandemic when nobody's died yet? And why are you rolling this out in steps? You say it's an emergency. We've got to do unprecedented things like we've never done with any kind of disease or epidemic before.

And yet you're rolling these things out gradually, like Fauci said, two months before it happened. Well, today we're going to enact this thing that we told you about a couple of months ago. And then in two months, we're going to do the next step that's here. Oh, yes. It's an emergency. I forgot. That's why they do it in steps like that. And so when you look at, again, this is curated and worshipped, worshipped by Zero Hedge.

Anything that Tucker says. I mean, I look at this, places like World Net Daily, every time Tucker does a video, they embed it, they talk about it and that kind of stuff. I understand. It gets them traffic, just like Trump gets them traffic. And just like they know that Trump created a kill shot and they criticized the kill shot.

And then right next to it you'll see something from wayne allen route you know trump is superman batman and jesus all combined or you know it's nonsense like that it really is amazing i don't think he said jesus but he certainly said superman and batman i forget who the third character was uh And so when you have Tucker Carlson, again, Zero Hedge says, well, watch the video because he talks about big issues facing the U.S. today. Why prosperity begets self-destruction. You mean like your $25 million a year salary, Tucker? Or media control.

You mean, like you said, I can't talk about this or I'll lose my job? That type of thing. Yeah, I really don't understand the infatuation with all of that stuff. Well, we're going to take a quick break. And, oh, Rockfin, thank you very much. Steven Patterson, that is very generous. Thank you kindly. And also on Rockfin, Nancy Chambers says,

Murders is right. My husband was murdered by the Moderna Vax, given without consent, and he died seven days later. Yeah, I know. Let's not pay attention to that. You know, the 9-11 families were owed an explanation. But of course, our government who murdered them will take us to war rather than give an explanation.

And our government that is murdering these people, still murdering these people with these shots, is going to take us to war rather than address this. This is why this is so key. But let me just say this um you know i i really do appreciate everybody helping us to make the goal like i said it was just shy of a of 100 but it was it was fine it was close enough and so we got the gauge there at a hundred uh percent full gauge because it really did do that and so I just want to thank everybody who helped us so much, uh, Amos at the, uh, and who did the matching funds and everybody who everybody else who

contributed and people in the last month or so, like Marty, who've done matching funds and so many people, supra Faye, who did it so many people, and I'm, I know I'm going to leave out many people that are there, but really do appreciate it and uh all i can say is that um you know we're just there i haven't gone over the list of people on zelle and people who have sent us checks uh for the last month i i will try to get to that but i if I don't thank you personally, we really do appreciate it. And we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at APSradio.com. Thank you. And now, The David Knight Show.

While we're talking about things, I've got list here of uh people's names to read but before i get to that i want to get to some news and uh but i do want to say uh thank you to um alexander who sent this nice card and a christmas decoration i maybe he is close to the jimmy stewart museum i think it's in indiana and uh last year he sent us a it's a wonderful wife ornament and a very neat ornament um i don't know if you can see that or not uh that's a scene with uh him in the uh football jersey and she's in the the bathrobe there in front of the house and then another one this year they're doing like a series of these things and even though we've got this one in the the box we do hang it on the tree haven't done the tree yet this year um but um thank you so much

it's a little uh uh things like that uh that that um and he is a it's not a little thing he is a regular subscribe star uh supporter so we appreciate that as well and um but we appreciate the encouragement thank you very much uh texas texas is back in the news uh i remember talking about this i'd never heard anybody call it texas i thought it was funny um and uh that was before we had all of these uh um a lot of different places talking about leaving the european union or, and they've made them all into exit type of things. But I said that maybe, you know, somebody else used it. I don't know. But I was talking about that back in the summer of 2016

before the Brexit vote. I did a report. I remember it really clearly. I had higher expectations for Boris Johnson, too, than what he became in the lockdown and subsequent after Brexit. But he did a report sitting in his limousine, backseat as he was being chauffeured around, I guess. And he gave, I think it was five reasons why Britain should get out of the EU. And I listened to them and I thought, well, that's pretty interesting.

I thought, well, you know, each one of those applies to Texas leaving the federal government, leaving the union. And even more strongly, he talked about how, what the net loss of the British economy was to the European Union. You know, how much is it costing us to stay in this? How much more do we send in to the European Union than we get out? What are the regulations costing us and so forth? And I went down point by point and said, you know, just for the state of Texas,

it's orders of magnitude worse than what Brexit was costing, what the EU was costing Britain at the time. And so I said, maybe we need to think about Texas and so forth. And so this is something that's been simmering for quite a while in Texas, again, going back 2016, seven years ago. And the Texas nationalist movement is still pushing inside the Republican party to try to get this on referendum and to get it on polls and that type of thing.

And so what they have done is they've had a signature rate, you know, petition to compel the Republican party of Texas to put this on the primary ballot. Now they better watch out. These people may just shut the primary down like the Democrats dead in Florida. Oh, we only got one candidate and we're not even going to have a primary.

I mean, we're getting pretty close to that. And we've had a lot of people getting very angry saying all these Republicans just need to drop out, give it to Trump. So maybe they'll do that. I don't know. But if they do have a primary then these people raise enough signatures that by law the republican party of texas has to put this on the ballot and the question is should the state of texas

reassert its status as an independent nation and so that will be on the ballot for Republicans unless the Texas Republican Party decides that they'll violate the law, which is always a possibility. Never say that that won't happen. The state's Republican Executive Committee is meeting and met over the weekend. I don't know what the result is. And they're going to finalize a list of ballot propositions. But according to the Texas Nationalist Movement, it doesn't really matter what the executive committee says

because the Texas election code empowers voters to place a proposition on a ballot by collecting the signatures of 97,709 Texans who want the question to appear. And they say they've got more than 102,000. Well, you know, you could have the Texas Republican Party could play the same kind of game that LA District Attorney Gascon did, the LADA, LADA, I guess. You know, he went, he challenged so many signatures and he got him thrown out for technicalities and things.

So he avoided a recall election. They could do something like that to avoid the recall of our sovereignty. To the state level, because there are a lot of people who are looking at this and wishing Texas well, my very first program, uh, back in August of 2018, uh, I had as a guest, uh, sorry, 17, it was 17, 18 was when we got censored. But my very first guests on my very first program was somebody from California. They left, if you recall, was very upset about Donald Trump winning the election. And you had all of these people on the left saying we need to secede. And so I got somebody on from one of several different organizations in California. They were saying California needs to secede.

If we got a country that would elect somebody like Donald Trump, a conservative like Donald Trump, they thought he was at the time. If we're going to elect a presumed conservative like Donald Trump, then I want out of this country. And so I got them on. I said, how can I help you? I agree. You've got a legitimate grief here. And it's I think that everybody ought to have the right to self-governance.

And I think any state ought to be able to secede from the union. So what can I do to help you in California secede? I even had conservatives in Orange County contacting me and saying, well, not all of us want to leave. And it's like, well, okay, we'll let you stay too. If they can secede, then maybe, you know, you could be the, like West Virginia stayed with the union. When Virginia left, maybe you could be Eastern California. Northeast was at Northern California where they want to get out of California as well. So anyway, plank 33 addresses state sovereignty and asserts that Texas retains the right to secede from the United States.

And that's in the GOP platform. And the Texas legislature should be called upon to pass a referendum consistent thereto. Well, the Republican legislature, the Republican-controlled legislature of the state have decided not to do that, so now people inside the Republican Party have put a ballot measure, try to get that on their primary. Also in the GOP platform, Plank 225 says Texas independence is a headline of that Plank that urges the legislature to require a general election referendum for the people of Texas

to determine whether or not the state of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation. They have enough votes within the state of Texas should reassert its status as an independent nation. They have enough votes within the state convention to get that put on there. But of course, platforms don't really have any weight on the people who are running the party. They will do as they please. It's amazing. Back in the years when I get involved with the libertarian party, I went to the national convention. It was kind of interesting.

But, you know, you have all these heated fights about what's going to be in the platform. And then whatever gets put in the platform, they do whatever they want. Just like when you elect these people to Congress, it doesn't really matter what the Constitution says. They do whatever they want. We even had stuff in that that that was a very comprehensive platform it even had a section in there about space and about the lagrange libration points and i remember we were sitting there the north carolina delegation's i said what in the world is the lagrange libration point i said well I happen to know because I read the book back when I was in college.

Anyway, the GOP primary proposition won't have any power of law, but it is sure to anticipate discussions about the idea inside of Texas and outside of Texas. Secessionists in other states are keeping a close eye on the Texas secession movement. And this report from Red State Secession Subst sub stack when are we going to stop calling ourselves reds just it really disturbs me to see the conservative movement being so gaslit by these people you know whatever the label they apply to us oh okay that's what we are uh texas was of course independent as a sovereign nation, then joined the union and then, uh, seceded, but economically it is extraordinarily well suited for independence

today. Even if politically they've got a problem, they got some big problems that they want to get independent. Well, I got four of them actually, uh, Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio to name a few. It's always the big cities and it doesn't matter what state you're in. It's these big Marxist cities like Austin. They're just running it for everybody else. So it's, um, you're going to have to secede from Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio.

You want to change anything in the way that it's working there. And, of course, here in Tennessee, we have to secede from Nashville and Memphis. Everywhere you go, these metropolitan areas are radically left, and they have a large population and a lot of money, and they capture the state government. That's why I focus on the local community the local community because you can't get rid of these big cities and they are a blight on everything but besides um you know the fact that it's extremely large um economically

it is the largest oil producer of any state the problem is is that and of course you know they have been shutting down coal plants and all the rest of the oil plants uh the whole time i was there and then they were giving massive subsidies to the wind farm people and spending billions of dollars to build infrastructure to take the power from these remote wind stations wind windmills and get it back to the grid so that's what's happening at the state level there uh so large oil producer but they're shutting down fossil fuel and they're heavily subsidizing wind uh but they provide uh 42 percent of american production no No other state, including California, exceeds 10% of American production. And it has deep water

ports, and it has abundant agriculture, and it has a major high-tech hub. And the grid is independent of the rest of the country, if they've stopped shutting it down. But the grid is not something that is very robust anywhere. This article from Real Clear Wire is talking about the urgency of strengthening America's electric grid's cybersecurity. You see, cybersecurity, as they want to put everybody on the grid, I have to ask myself, and I'll ask you, do you think

that this is really the takedown event? You know, many people talk about EMP pulse, you know, a bad actor like North Korea could send a nuclear missile over the United States. They wouldn't have to have accurate guidance. They could just detonate it in the atmosphere, create an EMP, take out massive amounts of, you know, transformers and other things like that, that they don't have in inventory. These massive transformers are not inventoried and it takes years to develop

them. And, um, and we get them from foreign countries for the most part in Germany, places like that. So, you know, they could come in and they could do an EMP pulse, and that'd take us back to Stone Age real quickly. Or you could do it with cybersecurity. So far, cybersecurity has been essentially blackmail, economic blackmail, ransomware, things like that.

But, you know, the Russians are pretty good at it. Chinese are probably getting better at it. Uh, they could do some real damage and they could do it from the inside that way. And when you think about the grid, uh, everything is being pushed onto the grid, as I said before, because that allows them to have control,

but it also allows them to do centralized chaos as well. You say once everything is on the grid, once they make sure that they've got no cars, to do centralized chaos as well. Once everything is on the grid, once they make sure that they've got no cars, no heaters, no gas ranges, nothing, everything is electric and everything is centrally controlled by them, including transportation, everything is electrified. And then if you take down that grid destructively,

we've always talked about them using the grid to ration electricity to increase their power. Say, okay, now you've got your electric car. You got rid of the internal combustion engine, and now you've got an electric car. Great. Now you can plug it in, and we will suck power out of it when we need it, and we will prohibit you charging it when we need it, and we will prohibit you charging it when we need it, and we are taking down the grid step by step.

So they're gradually destroying the grid. What if they did it? They did it. All of a sudden, as a false flag, as an inside job. Well, you understand what would happen with it, because not only would it take down the physical world, as we see when we lose power. We lost power last week, started the program almost three hours late. But everything comes to

a grinding halt now, and it will be even more so as I get more and more things on it. So it brings down the physical world, but it also brings down the virtual world as well. And just imagine when you take down the power grid, how destructive that could be. And perhaps that would be used and done internally without an EMP, anything messy like that. They could do the same thing internally and create total chaos. Just go back to a few months ago.

We had the FAA grounding nearly all flights. It was the only time that they'd even come close to doing that was 9-11. They grounded virtually all flights for about 12 hours because something had happened to their NOTAM system, which was a thing that gives them updates as to whether or not there's any issues in the areas where you're flying or where you're going to be landing at the airport. Is there some kind of a problem on the runway? Is there a plane that is stuck or has crashed or something like that? So it sends out that notification. And so that went on for like 12 hours.

And they claimed that they were not hacked. But interestingly enough, as it came back after 12 hours, Canada, same thing happened to Canada. Their notam system went down and theirs was down only for a couple hours. Maybe they decided that they would also pay the ransom since they've been watching the chaos that happened in the U S. And so when you look at that type of thing, as I've said many times before, you can take down Colonial Pipeline, you can take down all air traffic in the United States, and then take down all air traffic in Canada.

And you can do that by attacking these ancillary systems, the accounting system in the case of Colonial Pipeline, or NOTAM in the case of the other stuff. But they could even take down the entire grid, or they could do it in a way to remove all of that and just think about what that is going to do to society. Perhaps that will be their catastrophic event where they get to really reset society.

But there is a relentless pursuit of immobilization that is happening. And as we look at what is happening in London with their ultra-low emission zones, and sorry, you cannot come in to the city. If you have an internal combustion engine, you'll have to pay something like $15 to come in every day. If you move your car at all, anywhere around the London area, engine, you'll have to pay something like $15 to come in every day. If you move your car at all, anywhere around the London area, the ultra low emission zones that they've marked off. But before they had that, they began with a congestion tax. And so you can see how all this stuff is rolling out gradually.

They do it in the UK, proof of concept, take a look at how people respond. They study that. Then they roll it out in places like New York and California and the rest of the country. UK proof of concept, take a look at how people respond. They study that. Then they roll it out in places like New York and California and the rest of the country. And so now New York has got a $15 fee to get into Manhattan. And they're not saying it's about emissions yet. They're saying it's about congestion charges, but that's the way the, you know, pay money to get into London scam with a city con and the rest of

this, that's the way that began was with a congestion charge and so we know they want to ban cars in general not just internal combustion engines and we also know that they want to redistribute wealth i mean mobility from you to the government and to these other organizations always in the past. When I would look at the mania of these city councils and everything about, you know, putting it typically 30, 40 years ago, it was, we need to have a light rail system.

We've got to have a monorail or something like that. Even the Simpsons made fun of it. And I remember back in the late eighties, I went to a city council meeting in Raleigh where I was. And, uh, they had a woman. It was,

it was before the Soviet union fell just before the Soviet union fell. So it was before 1989. And she said, I just got back from Moscow, and it was great. I could go anywhere in that big city for a nickel, and we need that here in Little Raleigh. Little Raleigh, yeah. And I said, it costs the people there more than a nickel.

It costs them their freedom, and that's what they're doing with this. They want to take our freedom. They want to make us dependent upon them. And always I would look at it and say, you know, these Democrats, these big government officials, they're always looking at ways to make you dependent upon them.

They're going to offer you welfare. They're going to offer you transportation, hope that you take that. Well, you know, not enough people took the welfare, so they started bringing in people from other countries to take the welfare, coward and pivin strategy and a lot of people are not you know going for the public transport you know you you look at places like austin where they would put these um these buses and things in and i would always see them going around they had

some light rail stuff there as well and they're always empty you know but the buses you needed drivers and and i said well they're looking for these electric buses because then they won't have anybody in them not even a driver it's a total empty bus is just driving around, you know, what the problem is in San Francisco with these cruise cars. That's created a great deal of problems there. But now, you know, they were always, you could look at this and say, okay, they're trying to create dependency like the welfare state. But now they're trying to create slavery. They're just going straight for the end game here.

And they're not even trying to make any bones about it. They want to have the tools to control every aspect of everybody's life in every regard. And so again, going back to New York City, they're going to have congestion charges. You've got to pay $15 to go into the city. And then once you go into the city, they're going to be setting up noise cameras, noise cameras. And if you got a noisy car a souped up car that's what they called it a souped up car how about if you just take off the muffler and the catalytic converter and put on a something that's more direct so your car can breathe more easily that makes them a little bit louder motorcycles other loud vehicles well they've got this camera that works very much like, you know, red light camera or speed camera.

It detects the activity that they don't like and then takes a picture of you. And so if a vehicle goes by one of these things and it's got more than 85 decibels from 50 feet or more away, it takes a picture of your license plate. I wonder if it creates a noise that is 85 decibels or more when you crash into a giant pothole in the streets that they don't fix. Just asking. Get a double whammy. And this is like these red light cameras and like these speed cameras. This is a massive grift. Look,

this is not something that's going to stay in New York city somewhere, some company that makes this stuff, looked at this and said, you know, we could sell a lot of these to governments and we could partner with them and make a lot of money. And so those highway robbers, which is what they are, this reprehensible company that comes up with something like this. It's not technically complicated to do this. Not at all. So it's no big innovation here. It's just tyranny and highway robbery.

And so just like the red light cameras, just like the speed cameras, you got some reprehensible company says, Hey, we can sell this people. And I'm sure they made some kind of a deal for New York so they could have a pilot program. But guess what? It's going to be coming to you because you've got dishonest politicians and people who want to rob motorists everywhere, everywhere. They'll be on the lookout. Could be coming to you soon. And it's kind of interesting.

You know, there's only seven states, by the way. I looked this up. I thought, you know, have red light cameras been banned? I knew that they banned them in Texas. I was surprised when I looked it up to see that actually when Texas banned red light cameras, they grandfathered it in for quite a few more years for the jurisdictions that already had it. So they don't technically have to take these things out. And there's only seven states that have banned the red light cameras. And Tennessee is not one of them, although I don't see that.

I haven't seen that anywhere around here. And Arizona, they recently tried to ban it. And you had the newly elected Arizona Democrat governor banned it in Arizona. But New York is very serious about this. I said this is about the money. Listen to what the tickets are going to cost. Violators would face fines of $800 for the first offense and up to $2,625 for a third offense.

It truly is highway robbery. And partnering with them, same way they do civil asset forfeiture and other things like that. As a matter of fact, they have been doing stuff with noise for a while. When we were up there, it was over 10 years ago.

It was before I was even at Infowars and we were covering the UN Arms Trade Treaty that they were trying to get passed through. And again, I believe they pulled off the war of Colorado shooting a week before they had that up to try to pull back the damage that they had done to their scam. When the gunwalker program, the Fast and Furious, the gunwalker under Bush, they called it Fast and Furious under Obama. When that blew up and you had a law enforcement officer get killed as part of that scam, even the New York Times said, this is a false flag to push through gun control regulation. So that blew up in their face.

But these people don't give up. And so just, it wasn't, it was like six days before they were going to have their vote at the UN. You had the coincidence of the Aurora, Colorado shooting, one of the most suspicious of any of the shootings. And they had the protesters showing up there trying to, you know, make a big deal out of that as well. But when we went up there to cover it, and we interviewed, you know, some politicians that were there and we interviewed some gun manufacturers that were there. And we were driving. Couldn't find a place to park.

So we just had Karen circling the car while we got out and did our work that myself and my two sons. And then everywhere you look, there were these signs because it's all congestion. And you know, the definition of a New York myth, uh, of one second is the amount of time that it takes for somebody in New York to honk the horn after the light turns green. So everybody's just frustrated. So as soon as the light turns green, people started honking their horns and there were signs everywhere, $300 fine if you honked your horn.

And I thought it was so funny because everybody was honking their horns and there were signs everywhere $300 fine if you honked your horn and i thought it was so funny because everybody was honking their horn nobody was getting any tickets but now they've got that fixed i guess uh i guess that that's not mentioned in here but i guess they'll get that as well if they can identify which one of the gridlocked cars honked the horn they're gonna get anywhere from $800 to $2,500 ticket. And, and it's so bad that they have got paid snitches in New York to go around and ferret out noisy businesses, noisy businesses. So they have a noise inspections, uh,

and, um, they have, uh, citizens who can blow the whistle on other people. And it's gotten so bad in terms of the bounty that these noise snitches get in New York City. That part of this noise regulation that they're putting in there is to cap how much the snitches get paid to cap it at $10 per snitch. Councilman James Gennaro, Democrat of Queens,

said complaints of citizen bounty hunters, bounty hunters, noise bounty hunters. Do you hear what I hear? Ka-ching, ka-ching. They're raking in big bucks by relying on illegal methods to bang businesses with hefty summonses for violating the city's noise pollution regulations oh to be in new york we'll be right back hear news now at apsradionews.com

Rob 42, New Jersey, Jack D, David and Joan F, David and Anne Marie N, William M, Stephanie K, and Daniel and Melissa S. Thank you very much.

Let's talk a little bit about what is happening in terms. There's been multiple articles. New York times, politico left, a drudge report has got it. As a matter of fact, uh, Trump was, uh, Trump did a thing on truth social. He said, look at what has happened to Matt trudge since he went anti-Trump and he did go anti-Trump and he went but it's not just a trump you know matt has uh switched on everything right in other words he's not a he doesn't and again it's i always use drudge as an example of why there is bias in media everybody knew that drudge was

conservative and he didn't write any stories it's just the news that he picked to show was from a conservative slant. And everybody knows that now Drudge is slanted to the left, and there's no question about it. It's just what he chooses to talk about. That's why I say when people present themselves in the news media as being an objective, unbiased source, it's absolute garbage. They're either totally unaware of what they're doing, unaware of their own biases, which is a reason not to listen to them, or they are intentionally deceiving you, which is also a reason not to listen to them. So I say, anybody that tells you that they're an unbiased news source, you can immediately

turn them off. Everybody's got a bias, and you should be aware of it and should be honest about it. And I'm honest about mine. You may not agree with me, but I'll tell you, this is what, um, this is what is being done or said by the politicians or commentators. And this is what I think about it. And that was the way I always preferred to get my news. I never liked the news from the so-called objective sources. When I was in college, like Newsweek and Time Magazine. They had a very obvious agenda, and they tried to conceal it. I'd rather get my news from left-wing and right-wing sources

and let them debate it out, you know, and see that. Anyway, so yes, Drudge's report has gone down in terms of activity, but it is interesting to see how he has curated in a wide range of things. It's not just Trump, but it's on a wide array of things. He's completely gone to the left. And so in that regard, he's suffering the same fate as CNN and MSNBC. Ironically, it's not because they're against Trump. Quite frankly, I think Drudge is doing better because he is against Trump. Take a look at CNN and MSNBC. Look at how they thrived

under Trump. They were not doing well before. They really tanked after Trump disappeared. But then when they brought back the persecutions to come after Trump, all the traffic picked up again for CNN and MSNBC. And so far from Trump being the bellwether for this, he's just a controversy that gets everybody on both sides energized. And the left has really made a lot of money off of Trump. And all these trumped up charges, if you will, that they're bringing against him, as I've said before, and I'll say it again, it is deliberate. It is to push Trump. The left and the Democrats are pushing Trump. They want to have a competition with him in the primaries.

They may have overplayed their hand. They may have made him into some suffering Messiah for the conservatives and even maybe for the independents, who knows. But they wanted to go against Trump because they knew that he would create a civil war within the GOP. He would create a civil war within the country. He even creates a civil war within the Christian church. And this is what this writer, Tim Alberta,

a lot of articles in the New York Times, in Politico and other places, and of course curated and presented by Matt Drudge to people, talking about how Trump has turned the evangelicals, the conservative church, into his handmaids, worshiping him as if he were some kind of messiah or something. And so I had this on my desk i had a listener who sent me a thing he says we can tell this joke on there if you want how do you get more people into heaven well i just asked him do you really want to spend eternity with bill and hillary

or with trump you know because i look at these over the weekend, right? We see he's in Iowa. So he's trying to pander to the Christian vote in Iowa. That's what the Republicans do in Iowa. And then they forget about it when they go to New Hampshire. But he's trying to pander to the Christian vote. And so they had some campaign manager put out a video of all these pastors who were praying for Trump. And look, we should pray for our leaders. I understand we're told to do that.

But what do we pray for with them? Is it the kind of stuff that these guys were praying for? What they were saying was, you know, sweep away all this persecution of Trump and his family. Oh, that's fine. You know, we don't want to see people harmed with this kind of stuff. But, you know, no weapon formed against him will prosper and all this kind of stuff. And I was looking at it.

It's like, these are pastors? Do they realize that they're in a spiritual war, not a political war? Do they realize that in this spiritual war that Trump has been eviscerated by the weapons formed against him? This is a guy who needs their help. They should be praying for his conversion. That's what I pray for when I pray for people in power. I pray that they'd be converted, that they'd have their heart changed. Because if they have their heart changed, then they'll be good rulers.

They won't be looking to see how they can make more money and power and do whatever is necessary to anybody that gets in their way so they can have all the money and power that they want. If they're a true Christian, they're not going to behave like that. And so one of the ways that you do that is to pray God is going to move in their life to make sure that they change like that. That's not what these pastors are praying. They're praying, God, let us win.

Lord, we just want you to play 4D chess out there. You know, come on, let's make some moves here and put this guy back where he belongs because he's going to save us. And we need your help so he can save us. How pathetic. He needs their help. It never ceases to amaze me to see people like Paula White

and these other pastors standing around him. And evidently never engaging him to engage with God. They don't care where he's going to spend eternity. And it makes you wonder. But Tim Alberta, whose father was a pastor, has now written a book taking on Trump, because he'd already done a book about how Trump had created civil war within the GOP and divided it. And so his sequel, as he was going around, that book was called American Carnage, and it was about Trump's takeover of the Republican Party. And so as he was a pastor's kid, he said shortly after he published that back in 2019, American Carnage, his father, who was a pastor, suddenly died of a heart attack. He went back home, and he went to the church, and he said he had a lot of people come up to him,

and instead of offering him condolences for the loss of his father they confronted him over his politics and that really set him off because um you know it's like uh well i want to know that you're on the right side i don't think you're on the right side and um one of the church elders where his father was a pastor wrote a letter to him and complained about the quote-unquote deep state and accused Tim Alberta of treason because he opposed Trump. But wait a minute, Trump opposed the Constitution. So who committed treason here, right? So when you look at these pastors and when you look at what Trump said when he was holding court over the weekend, he was talking about how what really needs to happen for him to win the election. Because, you know, winning is not the only thing.

It's everything to Trump. You had a real election and Jesus came down and God came came down and said i'm going to be the scorekeeper here i think would win there i think would win in illinois and i think would win in new york which is all place well at the risk of taking him out of context here i do think that this reveals that it's a deeply wounded narcissist incapable of acting except out of his own flattery and out of revenge, his own self-interest. Look, he's so totally focused on politics, and we have to make sure that we don't follow him to hell.

To hell. Because all he thinks about is his power and money. Why would we follow somebody like that as Christians? Why? I wouldn't give this guy the time of day i wouldn't walk across the street to vote for him all he thinks about is money and power even well you know if jesus uh and god he says also i'll leave alone his uh trinitarian uh ignorance but you know the if j came down, he'd make me king. Yeah, yeah.

You know, Trump, Jesus comes down, you got bigger problems than the Oval Office, where you stand right now. And that's what these pastors need to be telling him. And we need to not follow in his footsteps. We need to not follow him. We need to understand it doesn't profit a man to gain the whole world in the oval office and to lose his own soul.

I have, you know, I never watched his program, The Apprentice. And it got served up to me on YouTube because I do listen to music, the soundtrack. And so I clicked on it in the intro, you probably are, all the rest of you have probably seen it. I'd never seen it before. And it was this thing, you know, money, money, money, you know, and it's all about money. And I knew the song. And then I'm looking at them parading their wealth around and all the rest of this and just keep money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money, money. That is the saddest thing I've ever seen. I'd never seen The Apprentice, but I remember back in the 90s, Karen's parents retired and moved to West Palm Beach area, and they were all

excited. Oh, look at Donald Trump, and he's got Mar-a-Lago. I said, he's one of the most pathetic creatures on earth, I said, in the 1990s. I said, he doesn't know the value of anything. He knows the price of everything, but he doesn't know the value of anything. You want to look at somebody who has been so totally, you want to say that no weapon formed against us can prosper? Well, I think the weapon of wealth, which Jesus talked about a great deal. You know, he talked a lot about money, didn't he?

Why? Because it has such a power on us. And I think when you look at somebody who has lost that spiritual war, you couldn't come up with a better poster child than Donald Trump, and we don't need to follow him into that. So Tim Alberta, again, You couldn't come up with a better poster child than Donald Trump, and we don't need to follow him into that. So Tim Alberta, again, he calls Donald Trump a lecherous, impenitent scoundrel.

That's a pretty good description, I think. But it's only heightened by the fact that, you know, part of it is he's a pastor's kid, you know, and it's really difficult for pastor's kids because they see the, and this is something we all have to struggle with, right? It's one of the reasons why God tells us to, um, uh, to engage with each other, uh, to engage with other Christians, to engage with people in the world who don't live a monastic life where we go off by ourselves. Um, and I, i you know i'm in danger of that because i spend so much time working i don't get out talk to anybody but you have to get out and talk to people when you get out and talk to people guess what they're going

to rub you the wrong way c.s lewis talked about and the screw tape letters you know so something that is being used against you know screw tape letters It's a fantasy that he sets up where you have a junior demon talking to the big guy or whatever and talking about strategies that they can use. And there's an element of truth in that, but in it, you know, he says, well, when he goes to church, make sure that what he's focused on is the weird outfit that somebody is wearing or the squeaky boots. As this guy's walking up and down the place, it's annoying to him or this or that, you know, focus on,

on the people there and all the things, the little idiosyncrasies that they've got that you don't really like. Uh, and, and keep him distracted. And that's a key thing. It is difficult because we've all got faults and problems and nobody's perfect. It's difficult to get past that.

I think it's especially difficult for a pastor's child to see past that. And they're also going to be watching the pastor's life very closely. Anything that is wrong, you know, he's going to hold them to a higher standard. So pastor's kids are kind of notorious for that. Not all of them are that way, but it's not kind of a, you know, a stereotype that it is a difficult thing, maybe more difficult for them because of that. But Tim Alberta says that for the church,

it can't simply be a matter of evangelicals mobilizing against abortion access. Or, and then he jumps to gun violence. I thought he was going to go to war and complain about the war of evangelicals, as one person called them. You know, you're going to oppose abortion, but you're not going to oppose war. So it's okay if we blow people up with remote bombs and we don't have to actually see it hopefully we don't see the pictures but if you murder somebody in person that's bad and if you if you rip a baby apart in person that's bad but you can rip a baby into pieces with a bomb and that's okay

and again war is about death. And we ought to be sure that we really have a just cause for it. I saw that Maduro in Venezuela was going to have, I don't know the outcome of the referendum, but there was going to be a referendum yesterday as to whether or not they were going to invade the neighboring country to get their oil fields. It's an area that was disputed, but he was putting it up to a vote for the people of

Venezuela. Do you want to go to war? I thought, what a novel idea. We kind of had that idea in the Constitution that our elected representatives would debate whether or not we were going to go to war, and hopefully they would be guided in that debate by the principle of a just war, a justified war, if you will. There was a Christian principle that had been around since Augustine formulated it. You know, have we been attacked?

How are we going to fight this? What are we going to do to try to minimize civilian casualties? You know, that's the way you organize your armies with uniforms and things like that. All the stuff that we've thrown away. We will not preemptively attack somebody. And so, you know, he's talking about preemptively attacking somebody, which we do that all the time. The difference is that he's holding a public referendum to get the public's idea. You want to have a war?

Typically, you don't see that. Typically, it's the leaders who take you to war without asking anybody because uh so i don't know how that's going to work out for him um i'd be very surprised really uh unless they rig the election but of course no as i've said many times before uh rigging the elections is a specialty of venezuela he had the company Smartmatic was created by two friends of Hugo Chavez and made sure that he never lost an election after that. They've been involved in rigging elections, accusations of rigged elections in the Philippines

and many Latin American countries, several different jurisdictions in Mexico. They've all accused them, but now it's a crime if you accuse, if you say that there's even the possibility of fraud with any of these voting machines. Now that is grounds for censorship, which should tell you that they know that there's fraud and they're doing it.

Anyway, but he goes from abortion, he goes, and then we're talk about gun violence, which is a leading cause of death for children in the United States. Alberta says, no, I'm sorry, Tim, the leading cause of death are the Trump shots,

the Trump shots. And, uh, you know, he's, uh, this is one of the things that we cannot criticize, but you know,

the problem is, you know, we save tens of millions of lives all over the world. But I can't talk about it because our base, our beautiful base of which some of you are there. You get angry when we mention the word vaccine. Don't get angry. You did everything you could to get this vaccine out. I know it was one of the greatest achievements.

We did it in less than nine months to be able to do that. But now it's a great achievement. And look, I guess in a certain way, I'm the father of the vaccine because I was the one that pushed it. Yeah, yeah. So, you know, let's not talk about that. Even Tim Alberta doesn't want to talk about it. He wants to talk about guns.

Guns are not the top killer of kids. Not by a long shot. We've sent about 15,000 bombs to Israel. We have starved a half a million kids with sanctions in Iraq, and Madeleine Albright said it was worth it. Anyway, in 2021, at a rowdy protest against pandemic shutdowns hosted by Floodgate Church in Michigan, he said, a few miles from Cornerstone, Alberta saw a lot of American flags in the sanctuary,

but not a single cross. He said, I couldn't suppress a feeling of absolute disgust. Well, it's not wrong to oppose the lockdown. And it's not wrong to

support these things. It's not wrong to talk about it from the pulpit either. But it's wrong to make it the thing. If it's going to replace it, and that's what we always have to be concerned about. Look, you should never fight for your religion to be the official state religion, because you know the government will completely ruin it. They ruin anything that they take over. You don't want the government taking over your religion. That's the last thing you want and so you know when you look at it from the christian nationalism standpoint uh we do not want to have that uh but again there's a big difference people don't

understand even the people who speak against this um this kind of religious persecution from the ACLU that we've seen my entire life. They don't understand the difference between establishment of religion and the free exercise of religion. And so they get all confused about that and do the wrong things. Instead of issuing guidance, he says, too many so-called shepherds or pastors resort to pandering and their congregants end up even more wayward than before because they understand just like people who are in the news media they understand that trump is their ticket just like tucker crawson these pastors understand that the way you get people in is to tell them what they want and we see that in the news media. We see people who tailor their news, they pick a

demographic, and then they tailor their news to them. Take a look, for example, the people who adamantly opposed Trump when we didn't know what he was going to do. He had never held office before and he was identifying the right program, the right problems, and he had some solutions that even if they weren't exactly the right thing, they were moving in the right problems. And he had some solutions that even if they weren't exactly the right thing, they were moving in the right direction. And who opposed him? Well, the adamant opposition to him were people now who are some of the biggest Trump supporters, people like Mark Levin, people like Ben Shapiro,

people like Glenn Beck. If you remember, rolled his face in Cheetos to make his face look orange to mock Trump. Because he didn't want to mock Trump over the policies because his base supported those policies. And then after Trump got in and he appointed all the establishment, globalist, military industrial complex, bankers, Goldman Sachs bankers, after he filled his cabinet with all those people that he was supposedly going to oppose, he didn't drain the swamp. He filled his cabinet with swamp creatures. And so after he did that, and he goes off the rail,

and these people are looking at it saying, yeah, that costs us, we're trying to appeal to this conservative demographic out here. They like the policies that he's talking about. We criticize Trump, we're losing them as support so after trump was no longer a threat of really getting any of this stuff done then they became some of the biggest cheerleaders of trump out there and so he says uh he went to an event organized by the faith and freedom coalition and he said there was a man there selling T-shirts emblazoned with Let's Go Brandon.

And just in case you didn't know what they were saying, it had a hashtag FJB, which we know what that is about. And so this is at a Faith and Freedom Coalition that he's got this T-shirt. And so the proprietor explained that his merchandise was responding to the fact that quote we've taken god out of america and so tim asked the man he says so is hashtag fjb an appropriate way to bring god back and the guy says the same thing that mark levin or Ben Shapiro or Glenn Beck would say, you got to give the people what they want. You got to give the people. You pick a demographic.

I'm going to go sell T-shirts of the Faith and Freedom Coalition. They don't like Joe Biden, so I'm going to give them what they want. And it's not really about getting God back. It's just about giving the people what they want. The pastors are that way. The news media is that way. Especially the news media is that way. Republican Party.

What these people need are leaders, not panderers. Not people who wet their finger and see which way the wind is blowing. They need people who are going to vote for principles and not for politicians or for parties. And it's going to be a mixed bag if you got principles. There's not going to be any clear winner there. But it really does bother me when I see these war evangelicals like Mike Pence out there. How in the world can Mike Pence be such an adamant supporter to say that he's pro-life

when it comes to abortion? And quite frankly, he's not. As I said before, these politicians, and he's gone now from the scene, but he's going to, his next career, you're going to see him in all evangelical circles. And he's already written a book about that. He's going to write a book about family and things like that. Well, you know, fine. He's not Donald Trump, but he's going to write a book about family and things like that well you know fine uh he's um he's not donald trump but but he's also when he uh starts talking about these these issues

of abortion he's another one of these people wants to refederalize it it really caught the republican party off guard they never expected because this has been the strategy since 1980. And so for, you know, 43 years, we've had the strategy, well, let's vote for Reagan or somebody like him, and he's going to pack the Supreme Court, and they're going to overthrow abortion. Well, what you got from Reagan was people like Sandra Day O'Connor, who just died at the age of 93.

And as I said, they had a really bad record of that. And so it came as a surprise to the Republicans, because the Republicans thought they had this, you know, this is a lock. I've got a lock on the evangelicals. I can say, vote for me, we'll pack the Supreme Court, and of course it's never going to happen. And yet it did happen happen to their surprise, to my surprise. And so now what they're doing is they're very busy trying to federalize this again. And if they federalize it again, as I've said before, uh, you can bet that if there is a federal law saying that you can't kill a kid past a certain age, that California will do it and New York will do it and they will defy it.

And they have, um, the constitution on their side, essentially the same way they did with the war on drugs. There's no constitutional authority for the government to prohibit drugs. And there's no constitutional authority for the government to say when life begins, if you want to look at it that way. And murder is really something that is done at the state level. But regardless of the legal arguments with it, the practical aspect of this is that if the state wants to facilitate the murder of children, the state will do that. And there's not really going to be anything that the federal government is going to be able to do to stop that.

So the liberals will, if you federalize this with something, if you do it, you know, the Supreme Court said, well, we don't have the authority to do that. So if the Congress wants to do it, the president wants to do it, which is what a lot of the Republicans are campaigning on, people like Mike Pence are doing it. And you have a lot of pro-life organizations which want to keep this a federal issue so they can keep the organization going. Instead of fighting at the state level, they would much prefer to fight it at the national level. There'll be more money involved in it with that. And so if these people are successful in doing it, they will not stop it. But what they do, if they set up the precedent of saying that the government is going to draw the line as to when a baby can be murdered, then when the Democrats get in, they will redraw that line.

And the Republican governors will follow whatever they do. So it's going to wind up having exactly the opposite effect with that. So, um, yeah, the other thing is, um, I'll just mention one other thing from his article here. He said, uh, he went to a Christian gathering and one of the speakers got up and he said, you know, we have a secret weapon on our side. And he said, I thought he was going to say Jesus. And he said, Trump. Trump.

So Christians should get involved in politics, but you've got to be careful which way the influence is going. And you've got to be careful that you don't, you've got to transmit your values without being corrupted by their values. We'll be right back. Looking for better information?

APSradatreon.com Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, while we're talking about Christian topics, before we leave this, I thought this was very interesting.

See, Pope Francis is asking theologians to demasculinize the church. I thought it had already happened a long time ago. It's like, wait a minute, a little bit behind the times. And this is coming from a guy who always is wearing a dress. Yeah, he's just a politician with a thin veneer, a very thin veneer of Catholicism. And that veneer is wearing off. Actually, I think most Catholics I know said it wore off a long time ago.

And he was speaking to members of the International Theological Commission at the Vatican on Thursday. And he said, we need to demasculinize the church. And he says, there's something I don't like about you, if you excuse my honesty, as he's looking at them. And he pointed out that there were only five women among the 30 plus theologians. He said, we need to move forward on this. Women have a way of reflecting on theology that's different from us men. Well, you know, whenever you start to look at ratios in any institution um sometimes you have a situation where maybe they didn't apply i mean i don't know any women who would want to be on the vatican theological council for example so you know it's um you know sometimes uh it's that type of thing. But again, it's going to be headcount. What he sees out there is the exterior people.

That's his problem. Like all these Marxists. And that's what he is. He's a Marxist Jesuit. And so leftist politicians are demanding that a Catholic school teach transgender ideology. And again, this is something that's not really a Catholic issue. We're seeing this happening with all different types of churches this is just one that said we're not going to

do it in michigan and they're challenging the the attorney general there is trying to establish uh the lgbt version of sharia law you will will follow my religion. She says she's openly, uh, LGBT openly L and, uh, she is pushing this because this is her religion and you're going to do what she says. And they've got their rules that are just as clearly defined as Sharia law is. And so, uh, this leftist politician is just like the Pope. And she's demanding that they teach transgenderism. It's a lawsuit against Attorney General Dana Nessel in Michigan, who is a lesbian, openly, asking the U.S. Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals to, quote, protect its ability to guide its church and school community

without following the political and ideological demands of state officials. And so what they did in Michigan was they just added a clause to make it a protected class against discrimination, sexual orientation. So, you know, hey, if you're a pedophile, that's okay. You know, that's your choice. You're a minor attracted person or whatever. And so your sexual orientation or your imagined gender

those are things that cannot be discriminated against so this is a new demand from the state and it would make it illegal for organizations that say well we're set up but we got religious values that conflict with what you're teaching and we're not going to do that in our school. For example, this school, by the way, the school was started in 1924. Look at what has happened to our country in a century.

And it's all happened in just the last few years. Yeah. There are some years when centuries happen, isn't it? And so their big crime is that they treat boys and girls as boys and girls, that they have different bathrooms, different locker rooms, and that they hire people who have their values because it's a value-based or religious-based organization, school. The state, however, changed the civil rights laws, and so now they have ordered this school to ask for this religious school to ask for state permission. And they were very wise to say, no, if I have to ask permission, then it's not a right, it's a privilege, and we're not going to ask you for permission.

Constitutional rights don't come with permission slips, they said. Michigan cannot tell St. Joseph's and every other religious organization in the state that they are breaking the law by staying true to their religious beliefs. This is the person who is representing them, who filed the lawsuit on their behalf. We are asking the court to step in and ensure that religious groups across the state can live out their faith and not be sued simply because they opened their doors to everyone.

The state's novel reinterpretation of the civil rights law, they said they're going to prosecute religious individuals and organizations that fail to follow their ideology. And that's exactly what it is it's an ideology it's a world view it's a religion that's how they interpret right and wrong and they've got their rules that they want to apply to people attorney general nestle officially attacked those of faith saying they're not religious heroes but she called them bigots now she's a bigot she's a bigot and she's religiously intolerant as well.

And those are different things. And so she, several strikes against her. But this is something that has to be opposed by everybody, and it is coming everywhere. As we're talking about transgenderism, there is a new trans textbook for psychiatrists. Epic Times wrote an article about it, new cutting-edge textbook on transgenderism,

written with the help of activists, will be used to train psychiatrists and could harm millions of children in the future, some experts have warned. Now, this is a book, very expensive textbook, $58. It's available on Amazon, but this is a book, very expensive textbook, $58. It's available on Amazon. But this is a textbook that was put together by the American Psychiatric Association's publishing arm. It's called Gender Affirming Psychiatric Care.

And this article is about the nonsense in it. And it's, you know, a little bit different than the usual nonsense because in this, the American Psychiatric Association says, well, we're not doing this out of objectivity or out of science, which is kind of surprising because usually that's what they fall back on. They said scientific neutrality is a fallacy. Well, they're starting to get to the right point, but they're not even trying to do science, right? The problem with the American psychiatric association is that psychiatry is no more science than political sciences science, they're kind of trying to measure human activity and trying to scope it out and control it different.

Psychology is defined as a, if you look at it, its etymology is that it is a study of the soul. These are people who don't believe there's a God. They are not equipped to study and to understand the soul. You cannot understand the supernatural without having it purely in natural terms. And so because we're talking about this is not really any way that they're going to truly reach an understanding.

So what they're saying is that this is an evidence informed approach instead of an evidence based approach. Now, this would be good under some circumstances because you could say, well, they're aware of their limitations in psychiatry. They can make some observations. They make some things, but they don't really have the power to change anybody, do they? Somebody asked me, you know, last time I attacked psychiatry. And I'm not a Scientologist.

I don't like the pharmaceutical industry or the psychiatric industry either. But anyway, last time I said this, I said, well, what do you say about Christian counselors? And I kind of gave a curt answer. The longer answer, I think the more accurate answer that I should have given is that I think that a true Christian counselor would be a good thing. I mean, we're told that a wise person seeks the counsel of many people, right? And so you should try to get the counsel of people who are around you. But you should try to get the counsel of people who really understand the soul, who really understand the God who gave us the soul, who understands the soul, and who wrote to us about it.

In other words, if you've got Christian counselors out there, they ought to be Christian. And if they're going to start coming at you with Freud, fraud, Sigmund Freud, and with Carl Jung, walk away, run away as fast as you can. Those people don't have any help. You know, we start talking about the transgender issue, and they talk about their conversion therapy. That is really bad. But if you are truly converted and you have a soul-changing experience,

that's a good thing. And they use that term conversion there because they want to conflate Christianity and the counseling and the advice that you get from the Bible, following the Bible. They want to conflate that with psychiatry. And the two things are completely different. So we should not conflate those things. There are Christians out there who make a living as counselors. And that's fine if they're coming at it from a Christian perspective. But there's also you know the people

that you know who are christians that you can talk to and uh you might want to listen to them iron sharpens iron uh chapters include in this book two spirit people uh you know somebody who believes that both sexes well i think it might also be somebody who, as the man that Jesus encountered, said, we are legion because there are many inside here with me. Also, double queer people. This is the first time I've seen double queer people. People who identify as transgender and have a mental disability. I think we're being doubly redundant there. Double secret queerification. Yeahly redundant there double secret queerification

yeah exactly double secret queer um it's good travis anybody wanting to practice gender affirming care any attorney wanting to defend it any legislator who wants to protect it now they have a new peer-reviewed textbook, not just evidence in a journal or a study. I said, well, that's the way the American Psychiatric Association is describing this. So they want to make this the new Bible for how you're going to interact with children or create laws and that type of thing. You understand what this is all about. This is all about replacement, right?

They've got their religion. They got their worldview. Here's part of their new Bible that they're putting together, body of work. So again, find somebody that really knows what they're talking about instead of a psychiatrist. One person reading through it said, this reminds me of brain damaged hippies that are free associating at a commune and of course a part of this textbook is to act out for these wannabe psychiatrists a marxist struggle session you know it has all the language and we talked with shivan fleet all this stuff that this is always that's not enough to not be racist you have to be anti

racist you have to you know criticize yourself in a struggle session. And so the contributing authors recognize in the foreword to the book that they are obscenely privileged. I think they are, but not in the way they think. As English-speaking doctors who have access to elite schools. Yeah, it's nothing but a Marxist struggle session. We're going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we're going to take a look at what is happening with financial issues. A lot of things are happening with the IRS.

i'm tired of the wwe match where people are bloodying one another over their favorite while few of us are trying to warn them that the arena is on fire yeah that's the that's the truth certainly is the truth on rumble overcoming the world is now a monthly supporter thank you very much for supporting us on rumble i appreciate that and on Rockfan, Jessica Morrow, thank you for the tip. She says, thank you for your time and effort toward the good fight and for occasional giggle. Our family has been grateful. Thank you very much. That is a real blessing.

On Rumble, Honor Seeker says, then Dave, what is the correct path into eternal salvation? By grace through faith in Christ. Christ is the only way. It's not of anything that we have done so that we don't brag about it. And that is the key. That is the key. And it is not going to be a faith that is not accompanied by good works, but the good works are preceded by that. And those good works do make a difference, and we will be judged on that as well, but not in terms of our salvation. That is by grace through faith alone.

So let's talk about money here. The Federal Reserve is running losses. Does this cost anyone anything? That's what this institute says. It's this big Ponzi scheme, isn't it? It's like, how much debt can the federal government go into and how much money can the federal reserve lose this is a rhetorical question how many angels fit on the head of a pen how many uniform corn farts are going to destroy the world i mean this is so they talk about this and there's

actually a debate about whether or not you know what is it going to cost us if the federal reserve is running losses i thought it was kind of interesting some of the things in this is that the the mises institute and uh the article says the u.s federal reserve has generated both capital and operating losses for the past couple of years. How is it possible they could be losing money after 100 years of operation? Well, I think we're losing money. I think they're causing our money to shrink, shrivel up, and blow away. That's the real cost to all of us is the Federal Reserve and its fiat currency and the inflation. I mean, part of it, you know, they want inflation to run at 2% because

they want to be able to monetize the debt. They want to be able to pay back the money that the government spends with cheaper dollars. That's not in our interest, but it's way, way, way above 2%. As a matter of fact, we just had the transcription thing that I use, Otter. We had them for three years and they just went up by 20%. And then they cut off at 90 minutes, which is only half of my program, the transcript.

They didn't say they were going to do that. And so I said, okay, well, oh, and then they said, and if you would like to pay something like five times what I was currently paying, then you could get the full three-hour transcript each day. So I was like, okay, well, nevermind. But, you know, 20% is really kind of the baseline of inflation. But of course, in their case, they combined that, and we're seeing this a lot, you know, the grocery stores, you all know, uh, raised the price by 20%.

And then shrink what's in the package by 50%. It's like, this is like an online grocery store here with the otter doing transcripts. So that's one of the reasons why it's been kind of spotty with, um, you know, trying to get, uh, time codes and stuff. It was already time consuming and now it's getting even more so with that. Um, try to put the time codes in as well as the topics that people can jump to a topic that they want to hear since the broadcast is three hours long, but it's, uh, we'll have to figure out another way to do that, but getting back to the federal reserve, so capital losses and operating losses well they you know capital losses

are the value of their portfolio and they devalued their portfolio when they rate of bonds when they raised interest rates very rapidly it's the same sort of thing that put banks into deep financial trouble and some of them have already died there's a lot of them that are circling the drain. And so it is this rapid, very rapid change in interest rates that has caused them to have capital losses. But unlike the banks, the central bank is not going to go bankrupt. And then they have operating losses, which means that they have to pay interest income on their big bond portfolio and they're raising the rates of these things a payment of interest on commercial banks reserves on deposit is what they have to do right and then they pour money into the repurchase transactions agreement so there's various things that they're doing with the member banks that is costing them more money as

they raise the interest rates and that type of thing. But one of the things that I thought was really interesting, just kind of came through in passing in reading this article, was the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is funded, when they started talking about their operating losses, said, well, you know, they've got to pay the salary of all the people in the CFPB, which was that thing that was created by Elizabeth Warren. You know, she got to put in the Dodd-Frank thing, but that was basically her baby, her Frankenstein monster, if you will.

And the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is not about financial protection. It's about protecting the biggest banks. I know Elizabeth Warren prattles on and on about how she hates big banks and she's for the little guy and everything. It's the same shtick that Donald Trump does when he says he hates the globalists. You know, Donald Trump works for the globalists. Elizabeth Warren facilitates the big central bankers. That's the oldest trick in politics is to pretend that you're the opponent of the people

that you're really shilling for. And so Elizabeth Warren shills for the big banks. And when you look at what happened with the Consumer Financial Protection Board, before Matt Drudge went to the left, he was keeping track of all the small and medium-sized banks that were going out of business after the 2008 crash, and it's hundreds every year. And that was due to the fact that the consumer financial protection bureau came in and said,

well, the banks made a lot of bad loans and they got a lot of, they made loans to people who couldn't afford to do these things. And they've now lost their homes. And so what we're going to do is have them fill out all kinds of extra paperwork so that they, we make sure that they don't make loans that are not going to be fulfillable for these people to make sure we don't have another housing

crisis and that type of thing. But the way they did it was with a massive, massive paperwork burden that the small, medium-sized banks just couldn't keep up with. And with other regulations that were going to be so expensive for them, they just got out of the business completely and it was one and so they just basically took them out of some of their bread and butter issues and bankrupted them that's one of the things that the consumer financial protection bureau did but this whole thing i didn't realize is now not funded by

congress you see the federal reserve is a private entity doing quasi-government work. And a lot of stuff like this is very suspicious of the CDC. They're a big vaccine seller. They're listed as a 501c corporation, all these different types of things. But the Federal Reserve is really private and then they put this consumer financial protection bureau when they created it they put it under the federal reserve instead of having it being funded by congress it's funded by the federal reserve this is one of the reasons why and i remember i thought it was so strange it's not not that old. And so when the very first head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau

stepped down, he named his successor, which typically doesn't happen in these different bureaucratic organizations. Part of the deep, the swamp is underneath the executive branch underneath the president and so the president usually uh appoints the successor to all these swamp creature organizations and um it's one of the reasons why you know we know that trump didn't do anything about it but anyway so when he stepped down he says says, well, the vice chair or whatever the title was, the number two person was going to take my place. And this is a person who was very liberal. So some of the people in the Trump administration said, no, we don't want this person to try.

They said, no, they're going to do it anyway. It's like, how in the world? This newly created bureaucracy is so arrogant that they're going to say that the president doesn't have anything to say about it. Well, they're not funded by the Congress even. And so they're taking this in a different direction. And I think it's very important that we take a look at how this is happening because we have regulation without representation. We have taxation without representation with this bureaucracy. And the bureaucracy is getting farther and farther away from any accountability to Congress. The CFPB is not funded by Congress.

And Elizabeth Warren made sure of that. And they even believe that they can pick the next head of it. So there was a little bit of a fight there. They gave up on that fight. But now you can see one of the reasons why they were so arrogant and insistent that, no, you have no say about this. We get our funding from the Federal Reserve. But going back to this, what happens when the Federal Reserve loses money? Something else that was interesting in this article from the Mises Institute said the

Federal Reserve has designed its own accounting rules rather than subscribing to those of the Financial Accounting Standards Board. Well, imagine my surprise. I mean, it does make sense. You know, they're operating in this virtual world that has no bearing, you know, under Keynesian economics and macroeconomics and everything. So they come up with their own accounting standard. Well, you know, their own financial reports clearly show that they have ongoing accounting losses by any metric. And because of the interest rate increases since 2022, the market value of the Fed's portfolio, treasuries and mortgage-backed securities has declined.

But don't worry about it because they've got some special hand-waving rules that they just wave it all away. And so this article on Mises Institute says, well, we've had this back and forth in the Wall Street Journal and other financial places as to what happens, who pays for these losses. And I said, well, here's what's going to happen to the operating losses. American taxpayers are probably losing money because if there's any surplus from the Federal Reserve, they pay it into the U.S. Treasury.

So that's like losing some taxes. I don't really look at that as the Democrats have always said for the longest time. Well, you do a tax cut, you're looting the treasury, as Bernie Sanders said, because all that money belongs to us. And so I don't think of it that way. They also say the commercial banks are members of the Federal Reserve System. They are required to buy and hold stock shares in their respective Fed district banks.

And so the Federal Reserve Act that was done in 1913 says that these member banks could be assessed for any Fed system losses. And so if that were to happen, if they were to push it out to the member banks, that could put some of the small and medium-sized banks out of business to further the banking system crash. But a professor at Harvard of economics, Jason Furman, is somebody who was on Obama's Council of Economic Advisors, wrote a Wall Street op-ed piece, and he says,

well, they've made a cumulative profit of more than a trillion dollars since the Great Recession, 2008. and so he says so they got this big stash of cash and they can handle losses of 100 billion dollars pretty easily and do it for quite some time and uh so i looked at that and it's like okay economic arguments aside between these different economists the federal reserve let's just underscore this, the Federal Reserve profited by a trillion dollars over a crisis that they created in 2008. And they did create it. Easy money and then raising interest rates, you know, a quarter of a step each time to burst that bubble. And they're in the process of doing it again.

You know, when they went through and they burst the bubble of a lot of banks and who knows what the other economic consequences are going to be. But with all this stuff that they pulled, yeah, they're losing money this last year, but they made a trillion dollars. This is a private organization. Yeah. Who do their profits go to? Does it go to the member banks or does it go to them? They make

some pretty good salaries there. They took a trillion dollars out of the economy over a crisis that they created. Now the Fed is running losses. It simply books them as a deferred asset. And so this Harvard economist says that insolvency is a meaningless concept in the world of central banking. Yeah, debt, profit, loss, none of that makes any sense, right? Again, this is one of the key differences between Keynesian economics and Austrian economics. You don't just get to wave your hand and say, well, now that we're talking about the macroeconomics, nothing in reality applies. But that's the way these people operate. That is the lie that they've been using the Federal Reserve for.

They say denying that taxpayers ultimately bear the cost of the Fed's dual losses is tantamount to averring that inflation isn't a tax on everyone. Or that something like a federal student loan forgiveness doesn't actually cost taxpayers anything. Of course it does. But look, the issue is that we want to, uh, is that right? Yeah. That's amazing.

Um, it's raining pretty hard here. Um, we need to end the fed and what we're talking about in the fed, we should end the IRS as well because they were both created at the same time. Yeah. At the same time that our government turned inward on us financially a century ago, prior

to that, the vast majority of the federal government was much smaller, and they could fund themselves by taxes that were collected at the border, and they did not really focus on internal taxation but when they created the federal reserve they decided that they would make taxes internal that's why they call the internal revenue service prior to that they didn't have a lot of internal revenue they had essentially zero at jefferson's time and so um the they turned turned against the way I see it, is that at that point in time, they restructured things financially. They turned inward to get money from us instead of money from people outside of the U.S. In the same way that now,

a century later, we're seeing each and every government turning inward to go to war with its own citizens, to try to control and track everything that we do, to demand that we inject whatever they tell us to inject into our bodies. But it all began a century ago with the money, or as I say. So the IRS, which should be abolished, just like the Federal Reserve should be abolished. I've been saying that for 40 years. It used to be a real radical thing to do, but now some Republicans are saying it. They're not doing it, but they're saying it.

Anyway, the IRS is now warning taxpayers. They're about to ramp up. You know, the big army of agents that Biden wanted to fund? Biden wanted to give them 80. Kevin McCarthy says, you crazy? You're going to give $80 billion to the IRS, an increase of $80 billion in their budget?

No, we're only going to give them 60 billion. And then our new speaker, Mike Johnson, cut it down to 46 billion. So the question is, do you want to grow the IRS by a of seven or by factor of five or by factor of four or whatever stuff works out to? Yeah. That's the difference between these different speakers,

Republican and Democrat. It isn't a, you've got an organization that's got an entire budget is $13 billion. And they want to give it anywhere from 46 to 60 to $80 billion more as an increase. That ought to scare everybody about what the plans of the IRS are. Uh, and so the, um, had the IRS commissioner right now, Danny Werfel said,

I would expect hiring activity on the enforcement side to ramp up as we enter into 2024. And he said in mid-September that they were fast-tracking the hiring of 3,700 people to assist with, quote, expanded enforcement work. But they said, don't worry. Remember when they said this in September this is going to be focusing on complex partnerships big corporations and

high-income earners no it won't be that's what they've always said about the income tax when they created it they said well you know at that time it was like a tax on 1% of the 1%. It was really only a tax on income. It wasn't a tax on wages. Those are different things. So it was a tax on the rich people's stocks and bonds and their capital gains and things like that. But it wasn't on income. And it wasn't on wages.

Income, wages, capital gains, wealth. Those are all different things, right? So now you have Democrats in some places talking about, well, we've got to do a wealth tax. That's a completely different thing than what we currently have is the income tax. Just, but remember that when they created it, everybody understood that income and wages were completely different things. And so they have completely changed the nature of the income tax to make it comprehensive and include wages.

So why wouldn't they include wealth at some point in the future? Because if they can play word games, and this is what Washington always does, just redefine things. Let's just redefine what income is. Well, you might redefine income. Let's just redefine what income is. Well, you might redefine income to include wealth at some point. No, they're not going to be doing this to the really rich people.

They're going to be doing it to the middle class because that's where the money is. Again, if you take all the money away, even though we're seeing a tremendous concentration of wealth and the really richest people, still the vast majority of it is coming from the middle class and doesn't mean that the middle class is rich it's the same

type of thing where if you've got somebody who uh um you know all the recording artists who made so much money all right they make uh you know a couple of bucks off of each record that they sell, but they sell lots of records. So it's that volume. That's why they come after the middle class, because that's where they get their money. Just like the people who get rich with entertainment, that's how they sell the recordings. They make their money off of a little bit from a lot of people. A sweeping and historic tax enforcement crackdown is being promised by the IRS that will leverage cutting-edge technology, including artificial intelligence. So they're going to use AI against us. The IRS is going to.

But think about this. This is another thing to think about. Everybody else says, well, we're going to incorporate artificial intelligence and we're going to therefore hire fewer people. Right. So why is the IRS going to explode the number of agents and hire artificial intelligence? What is what are they going to do with that? I don't have the answer to that. But you ought to think about that. That's a real warning.

And maybe they'll use artificial intelligence to flag people. Maybe they'll use an army of armed agents to go confiscate your wealth or something. Because, you know, the artificial intelligence can do the auditing, but it can't do the confiscation of the law enforcement. So understand that that is a very dangerous thing. The Republicans, as this article says, have warned about this, but they've done nothing.

All they have done is said, well, look, I cut it by $20 billion. No, you didn't. You're going to increase it by 60 McCarthy. And then you have, uh, Johnson who says, well, I cut it by another 14. You're still going to increase the IRS by $46 billion. And so, um, uh, and so it goes goes so they're saying that they're promising they're going to target corporations high-income individuals however the federal watchdog agency doesn't believe this either i just told you why i don't believe it it's never been the

case they're always coming after the middle class the treasury inspector general for tax administration this is an official watchdog agency within the federal government the watchdog overseeing the irs said in a recent report that the tax agency could end up breaking its promise not to target ordinary americans because the irs doesn't have a clear definition of what high income is. Well, you know, if you don't believe me, believe the people who watch the IRS for a living, the watchdog. And of course, the robbers are going to go where the money is and where the most money is. They said, though, the high income terminology is being used loosely inside the IRS with

no common understanding of what the term means. Well, I understand what it means because I know the history of the IRS and how the whole thing began. So the IRS is close to reaching already before they have their big hiring splurge next year. They've already, under Biden, increased up to 90,000 full-time employees. That's an increase over 79,000. So they've actually gone up by almost 14% under Biden before this stuff kicks in. In just a year, they went up by 40,000.

And it's been below 80,000 since 2015 when Obama was president. And so this is a big increase, a 14% increase by Biden, even before they get the massive influx of cash. In terms of armed agents, they're planning over the next five years to have a net gain of 1,200. They have 2,100 right now, so they're going to make it about 160% the size that it is right now in terms of armed agents. And at the same time, several people are reporting the fact that the IRS has just decided that they're going to increase the penalty for tax underpayment to 8%.

They're going to nearly triple it. It has been 3%. And they just do that by fiat. Where's Congress in any of this, right? Does Congress have a say-so in any of this stuff? How in the world does the IRS just decide what they're going to charge for penalties and all the rest of this stuff, independent of any congressional oversight? That's why I said we have regulation without representation,

and we have taxation without representation. And these people even get to set the rate of the taxation now at the IRS, the rate of the penalty. It has, for the longest time, been 3% if you underwithheld. And now they're going to take it up to 8%. Two years ago, it was 3%. And they excuse it by saying, well, this is a rising cost of inflation. No, it isn't. No, it isn't.

A percent is a percent, right? And if you're paying it with more dollars, it would be more dollars if they kept it at the same percentage. This is just gouging by the IRS. And this tells you what this current IRS is going to do with the extra agents. And what is our Congress doing? What are the Republicans in Congress doing? They're holding show hearings about this and that. They won't even do anything about the IRS.

Like I said, you've got a couple of them saying, well, we need to abolish the IRS. But none of them are talking about that. Not at all. So you've got to pay. So typically, most people have to pay about 90% of their taxes, um, through withholding during the calendar year. And, uh, but they're saying, you know, if you got the estimates that you're taking out, you can't wait until the last minute to put them in.

And if you put in too much, you get a penalty, as you all know. Uh, there is a case about the, uh, the IRS that is coming up for the Supreme Court, as the Wall Street Journal is saying. This could mess up chunks of the tax code. Going back to the 2017 rewrite of the tax code under Trump, it imposed a one-time levy on profits that companies had accumulated outside the U.S., but its implications could reach much further, providing the justices an opportunity to define what Congress can tax under the Constitution and what it can't tax. I don't think you're going to see those big sweeping reforms, but again, you know, I was surprised by the Dobbs decision, so who knows what they'll do. I don't think they're going to fundamentally change it, though.

See, the issue is that this is not about the government being able to pay its bills. We didn't get $30 trillion in debt, and there's no way that you're going to pay off that debt. There's no way that you're going to get the government on equal footing by using the income tax. You would take all the money away from everybody. And that may be what they were going to try to do, but you know, you, you don't have, uh, the ability, the, um, the, uh, income tax has been just one portion of the federal government's, uh, income. And, um, and it's, you know, I don't know, what is it, maybe 25, 30, 40 percent or something, maybe that's even high. And yet, they continue to run a deficit. And as I began by saying, nobody cares. Nobody cares about the federal government's deficit. Nobody cares about the Federal Reserve's deficit. So what do they need taxes for well the taxes are there to punish

their enemies you know this big tax increase and this you know ramping up the irs as part of what they call the inflation reduction act and with money modern monetary theory they say it's it's like keynesianism on steroids. Nothing that we spend matters. But if inflation gets too hot, we will pull money out of the economy by raising taxes. That's the economic theory behind Biden's Inflation Reduction Act. And so they give money to their friends. And if inflation kicks up, they take money from their enemies. That's what it really boils down to. So while we're talking about economics, I thought it was interesting.

Gold spiked on Friday as people started to realize that they're going to lower interest rates next year. We were talking to Gerald Cilenti on Friday, and he says, well, some of them are saying it's going to happen in the summer. I think it's going to happen sooner than that. I think it's going to happen in the spring. And a lot of people were thinking that. And they know that's going to increase inflation. So immediately, the markets built that into the price of gold, and gold spiked to a record high, over $2,130, which is pretty amazing considering that it's been right at that 2000 ceiling and trying to get over it and, uh, you know, holding its own even as they're

raising interest rates, but, uh, now it, it shot up. Uh, so I'm not sure what is happening in the markets today, but look, if you want to, uh, try to get again, it's not even the financial side of this for me. It's really more about the control through the CBDCs that I'm concerned about. And so go to DavidKnight.gold. That'll take you to Tony Arterburn's WiseWolf.gold. And with all of the fantasy stuff, you know, the Federal Reserve, they can spend all this money. They can make a trillion dollars over the last, what was it, 14 years or whatever? They made a trillion dollars and they don't have to account for any of it. And if they're losing

money, who cares, right? It matters if you're losing money because you live in the real world. If you live in the real world and you want to live in the real world and not in a virtual world or not be a slave to them with their CBDC, You need to have something that is physical as a fallback on it. And so make sure that you prepare in some way before this thing takes off. David Knight.gold will take you to TonyArderman.gold, and we will be right back. Hear news now at APSradioNews.com or get the APS Radio app and never miss another story. you're listening to the David Knight show. Uh,

on rumble, Jason Barker. Thank you very much, Jason. I appreciate the tip. And he says, good morning, night family.

Good to hear Travis's voice this morning. Yes, we, uh, it's a very rare treat. I try to encourage him to chime in. He always has interesting things to say, but, uh,

when we're here at home, but he doesn't always chime in. So maybe we can prod him to do that a little bit more. Let's talk a little bit about what's going on with this massive climate fraud, the climate MacGuffin that is happening now. Um, I was sent this by listener and I'm, I apologize. Cause I lost the email here that I was going to give a head tip. I think they're from Alaska that sent this, if I remember correctly.

But it's the EU wants to seize your old car to meet climate goals. How about that? Yeah, it's coming out of Sweden. As I said before, I remember when I was in high school, Volvo was taking the tack. We make really good durable cars because the average age of a car in Sweden is 11 years. And I remember looking at it and it's like, well, they don't seem to really be all that great in terms of consumer reports.

I think people keep these things running because they live in a socialist country where they don't have as much disposable income. Because at the time you know people were changing cars every three or four years here there's a constant rotate through and the automobile manufacturers are making radical changes to the styling and the performance of the cars and things are pretty stagnant in volvo because it was socialism but now this is uh peter emmanuelson his sub stack he says uh this is what's being proposed by the eu they are calling this end of life vehicles yeah this is kind of like a do not

resuscitate for your car uh if it's old enough now you're not going to be allowed to fix it we're just going to come to your house seize your car take, take it to the junkyard, and scrap it. And we all saw this coming, didn't we? We saw it with the cash for clunkers thing with Obama. And understand that they will typically introduce these things that are eventually going to be done by force. They will typically introduce them in a sugar-coated way. You know, we're going to bribe you to do this or bribe you to do that. And then after a while, they just come out and say, okay, people aren't taking the bribe

anymore. Let's just drop the hammer and force them to do it. That's what we saw with the vaccines, partially. A new set of criteria will be established that will decide whether or not you'll be allowed to keep your car. If your car does not meet this criteria, the EU will seize your car and scrap it. One of the criteria is if your car has missed its regular EU checkup for two years, then it is considered to be waste and they will scrap it. So if you haven't got it inspected for two years, they just come and confiscate it and destroy it.

Another thing they're talking about is to introduce a passport for vehicles. Why? Well, because everything must be tracked, just like you. We have to have a passport to know if you've been vaccinated and on and on. This whole passport thing. Again, coming from Davos, the commons project they had inside of that, they had common pass and it was exactly what was implemented at the EU and other places.

They had it there as a template. They had it there as an example and everybody implemented it the same way that they did. They had proposed doing it at a global level, which they will do. The only difference between their plan and the EU's plan was that their plan had a global database. And the EU, as of the moment, is just for the EU. But again, a passport for your vehicle.

Circular passport. I don't know what's circular about it. Maybe the logic of this. If the cost of repairing your car exceeds the value of your car, the EU will seize it and scrap it. If you miss two years, they will seize it and scrap it. If you don't have the appropriate passport, they will seize it and scrap it.

Do you see a trend here? They're looking for excuses. There is an exception for cars that are more than 30 years old, but they have to be original. That means that you can't put in a different engine than it was originally there. And you will still have to meet the EU emissions control. So guess what? The 30-year-old cars, they will seize and scrap. You're not going to be able to get past their emission control checks with the original engine.

So meaning many older cars will be considered to be waste. They will seize your car. They'll scrap it. They'll use the excuse of recycling it to meeting climate goals. In other words, you belong to the state and you will own nothing is what Peter is saying. And that's exactly true. They want what is called circularity and design and production so they don't want you to have your car for too long this is a circularity i think they're

you know let's keep these things in circulation um because that um we're not trying to recycle reuse and because we're just going to have planned obsolescence, but it's gone beyond planned obsolescence. It's planned slavery for the common man. And so it's going to be the fanfare for the common man. It's going to be the finale for the common man if they get their way. Circular area and design and production. They don't want you to have your car for too long. They want it back. I'm sure the car manufacturers are very happy about this as it'll give them more customers more often you see if you don't want to buy the new electric

cars well i guess we'll just have to seize your other car you know not going to you don't want to trade it in well too bad we'll come trade it in for you and he points out it's nothing other than climate communism and that truly is what this is uh but i thought it was very interesting bablin b had a lot of fun with it uh the fact that uh well first of all we had about the middle of the week you had un chief guterres said we're going to have to end fossil fuels and we got to do it right now and then he gets on his private jet and flies off to this climate conference and of course a lot of people pointed out that elitist hypocrisy there but then even better as we got toward the end of the week they had massive

snow storms throughout europe especially and the planes were, actually frozen to the runways. And I love the Babylon Bee headline. Climate activists' private planes freeze themselves to the runway in a powerful protest. And look at that picture. That's a real picture. I don't know what happened to that plane. But it is like frozen in a, like it is trying to take off right something i guess accumulated uh on the back of the plane and got heavy enough on the back of the plane that it tilted it up uh so the back of the plane is resting on the tarmac and the wheels are up in the air

like it's trying to take off and it can't. So that's not a Photoshop thing. That's a real picture. But Babylon B says, these planes really nailed the holy grail of climate change protests, both sticking themselves to an object and obstructing transportation. Their climate activist owners have taught them well, perhaps too well. That's why the activists did not meet over Zoom to help the climate. The activists reportedly responded, you must be one of those poor people, aren't you? Well, the reality is, is that is, you know, like I said, literally frozen on the runway.

It's not Babylon Bee satire. But again, it's glued to the runway like these climate activists who do this as stunts and it was especially bad in munich private jets in munich on the way to the dubai global warming conference literally frozen on the runway which has turned into a glacier said a meteorologist and former noah chief scientist this is why they stopped talking about global warming. They talk about climate change because they try to portray any severe weather, hot or cold, as due to your CO2 usage or your methane usage or more specifically having a car, eating meat or dairy. With 44 centimeters left on the ground this morning, as of December 2nd, Saturday, Munich, Germany has officially experienced

its biggest December snowstorm on record. And one person said, here's another inconvenient truth. Europe hasn't seen a snow cover like this since 2010. 60% of it is blanketed in white. Well, there you go. I guess the CO2 thing isn't really working out for them. We have a friend who used to work for us years ago. We had the video stores, and he's stuck in Germany.

He got stuck in this thing. He went to Germany for, always does, takes his vacation and goes to the Christmas markets and things like that, and Germany and Prague. And he got stuck and there's no hotels because everybody was stuck there. It was a real mess. Anyway, if you think that's bad, in fact, you've got planes frozen to the runway, these private jets you can't take off. Once they get there, what they find is that the president of the COP28 conference, the climate change, this is the 28th year they've done this, by the way. And we're all still here, surprisingly. We haven't all died as they've been warning every year for 28 years or actually my entire life. They've been warning us about this practically in high school when this started.

But once they get there, if they can get their planes unfrozen, once they get there, they find out that the guy who is president of the conference that's being held at the United Arab Emirates, the guy who's there at the UAE, says that there is no science behind the phasing out of fossil fuels immediately. If you read what he has to say, it's not as strongly worded as that. What he's calling

for is a phase out that is slower than what they're doing. He is making a lot of money from selling fossil fuels, but he's also heavily invested in the replacement stuff as these people all are. Rex Tillerson, when he was at Exxon, and I was complaining about the fact that he was a radical environmentalist as well as a radical promoter of the LGBT agenda and the Boy Scouts when he was the head of the Boy Scouts. And all these people were saying, he was the head of Exxon. He's not a climate change.

No, they buy in at the ground level. And then they force everybody to make the switch. Dr. Sultan Al-Jabbar, who also heads a state oil company, said the phase-out of fossil fuels was not necessary to achieve the Paris Agreement target of limiting warming to the magical 1.5 degrees centigrade. He said there is no science out there. There's no scenario out there that says that the phase-out of fossil fuels is what's going to achieve 1.5 C. He also, though, heads the Renewable Energy Company that is also partially state-owned.

And he said a phase down and phase out of fossil fuels is inevitable. So even though you see on all these different conservative things, look, this guy says there's no science. What he's saying is it's inevitable we're going to get rid of all this stuff. And he also says it is essential that we get rid of all this stuff. And he also says it is essential that we get rid of all this stuff. But we need to be real serious and pragmatic about it. No, you're not going to win if you're going to accept their fundamental premise. On Friday, as I said, Antonio Guterres, the UN chief,

before he hopped on his private plane. He said, no, not reduce, not abate, phase out with a clear timeframe. And we got to do it quickly, right? Got to do it at warp speed. This is the way they always do it. You know, it's a stunt. You know, it's just like when they, okay, limited time offer, act now within the next 24 hours or the price is going to go up, blah, blah blah blah blah right

it's people whether they're selling time shares or climate change they all use the same scam let it be wise to this by now that was one of the things about about uh fauci and trump they started selling this thing they even called it warp speed and it's like yeah i already know what that's about you know it's the same thing we saw with the climate mcguffin but um anyway uh yeah these people who are showing up to this thing and telling us we got no time left they are really no better than uh this this woman here, who also shows up to protest things. Here she is, puking green stuff. I'm sick. I'm sick of greenwashing.

Yeah, I'm sick of all you environmentalists. The true environmentalists. These theatrical types. Yeah, whatever. Okay. And this is, is like i said they started all this nonsense first birthday i was um 1970 i was in 10th grade and it was all the people who were in theater and the people were in student government and you know they were all protesting and you know cutting class and going out standing on the lawn and it's still the same crowd and, you know, cutting class and going out, standing on the lawn. And it's still the same crowd of people.

You know, the theatrical types, the student government types makes me want to puke green stuff. But, yeah, that was her. It's got bright green stuff she put in her mouth. Oh, the green washing makes me sick. Well, all of it makes me sick. It's all based on a lie. And there's no science, pure and simple, to back any of this stuff up. But understand, there is also no legal authority. This is a headline from the Epoch Times.

You can also see it on Zero Hedge. U.S. signs new climate pact to shut down all coal plants. This drives me nuts. The U.S. hasn't signed anything john carey has signed it he doesn't have the authority to do that has anybody at the epic times ever looked at the constitution do you remember the senate voting on this treaty or not of course they didn't and they didn't vote on the paris climate accord either and we said um i had uh scott uh or steve malloy on junk science.com and um he said at the end of the trump uh uh administration after he had lost the election and we were in that transition period and all

anybody could talk about was the stop the steal and the save America and the January the 6th stuff. He said, look, all through all this stuff of the Paris Climate Accord, Mitch McConnell is still head of the Senate. And he could call a vote on this treaty and shut this thing down because they don't have 60 votes. And he could have done this throughout the four years of Trump. He could have done it prior to that because,

you know, this thing was put in back in 2015 and it's the control of the Senate has gone back and forth, but nobody, nobody in Congress, nobody in the conservative press, not Trump, not any president has said these climate change treaties, because that's what they are.

They're treaties. They got a great deal of trouble to try to hide the fact that these things are treaties. You go back to NAFTA, for example. Well, it's a trade agreement. It's not a treaty. No, it's a treaty. It's a treaty about trade. And if you even look at NAFTA, and that was administered over the years, it was, you know, if you had a dispute where they were going to charge somebody with being in violation of it, and they had arbitration. It was set up as arbitration.

And you had people who specialized in that aspect of law and so all of the lawyers who took nafta cases were all treaty lawyers and everything that they talk about is treaty this and treaty that and treaty this when they talk about NAFTA except to the public the public face of it is not as a treaty the public face is this is a trade agreement and the public face of the Paris climate accord this is an accord I don't care if you call it an agreement or you call it accord or if you call it a pact, it's a treaty. It's an agreement between governments to do something. And if it's got any kind of an enforcement mechanism in it, it's going to be done by treaty lawyers. And so it drives me nuts to see the so-called conservative press

saying the U.S. has signed into a new pact to shut down all coal plants. That would be bad enough if it were true. It's even worse when it's not true and these people pretend that it is, even on the conservative side. It's like the red state press. And so, John Kerry, special presidential envoy on climate matters. Is this a constitutional office? Is this something recognized in the Constitution?

Is this something that the federal government has authority over the climate? To do something about it? What a joke. All of this is done under color of law. It's all done with ignoring this. And look, this is happening over a wide spectrum of issues same thing with the pandemic mcguffin you know the who is rewriting all the international health regulations and the who wants a new pandemic treaty and all the rest

of this stuff to make it more binding all of this stuff is being done and no discussion in Congress about it whatsoever. They're setting on the sidelines when this is really their decision to make and they don't want to make it. It's one of the reasons why we have taxation without representation and regulation without representation. They want to kick everything over to the bureaucracy. You write the laws and we'll call them rules.

And then when they call them rules, you have no presumption of innocence. You have no protection against excessive fines and on and on. You have no due process in any of this stuff. So we'll kick it over to them. And then we'll say that these government rules and mandates and whatever are not laws. And so you get no protection at all in the constitution for this stuff and then the congress says well we have no responsibility for this we didn't do it to you right so we're going to hold uh dog and pony hearings like

jim jordan does like trey gowdy before him you know we'll hold hearings and and we'll throw partisan mud at each other but we'll never anything, anything to get the government in line. Never do anything. And so they're going to do the same thing with the pandemic MacGuffin that they're doing now with the climate MacGuffin, which is to say they're going to pretend that we are going to get into a treaty and that treaty supersedes the constitution and all the rest of the stuff they're going to say, but it's no treaty at all. It has no authority. If they sign a,

if we get somebody from the Biden administration to sign on to the world health organization treaty, it has no legitimate authority. They will never admit that. They'll never even talk about it. The Republicans don't talk about it. That's why I say we have to understand what their global agenda is, and we have to fight it locally.

You got to fight this thing locally. They have no constitutional authority for this. And I think that that is easily a fight that we could win. And I say that because, again, you go back and you look at Jeff Sessions, who was Trump's AG, and he absolutely hated marijuana. He was fixated on it. And he hated the fact that marijuana had been made legal in a lot of different states. First as medical marijuana, then as recreational stuff. But Jeff Sessions never tried to stop it because if he had tried to stop it, it would have been a slam dunk loss. There's no constitutional authority for the war on drugs.

Alcohol prohibition, we had to have the 18th Amendment, and then we had the 21st Amendment to undo it. Why did they do the 18th Amendment? Because they all understood that there is no authority under the Constitution. Everybody understood that. The proponents and the opponents all understood there was no authority to prohibit alcohol or anything else and there is no authority for any of these treaties because we all know that it takes 60 of the senate to ratify a treaty they've never brought any of these things up this is a bluff it is a facade that they're sticking

in your face there's absolutely no authority for any of this stuff. So John Kerry, though, is making these pronouncements. Just consider the fact that he hasn't. This is an emperor without a shred, doesn't have a stitch of clothing on him. Pure naked tyranny. Well, we need to phase out unabated coal, he said on a December the 2nd statement. That's Saturday. He announced that the U.S. had officially joined a coalition of 5,600 countries

who all plan to ditch coal in the name of climate change. We have not officially joined. And there is no pushback on this by the Epoch Times or any other conservatives who are talking about this. Drives me nuts. They know what a treaty is. Anyway, the yeah.

And why did they focus on coal? As I pointed out many times at the end of the 1970s, 1979, we were in the throes of OPEC raising its head and the cia was telling us that we had a limited amount of oil left and they call it fossil fuel and all the rest of this stuff and so time and newsweek and i've shown you the magazines here before had on the cover well we're going to be out of oil by the mid-1980s and you had songs being written by tower power that we did covers of in the group and everything um and i didn't believe it then either

i saved those time and newsweek magazines and in those magazines they were saying in 1979 that we were going to be out of oil and gas by the mid to late late 1980s but they said we had 666 years in that interesting number 666 666 years of coal maybe they were trying to demonize it you know 666 coal you don't want coal it's 666 uh we probably got about a thousand years of coal so we got to stop that first you see that's why i carry these other people focusing on it he says the first step is to stop making the problem worse. We've got to stop building coal power plants. Well, tell that to China. I don't know that we're building any coal power plants.

We're not building any oil refineries here in America, but China is building them all the time. They're under 20% of, just under 20% of U.S. electricity was powered by coal. So they're pretty much shutting it down. And yet look at what is happening in China. Uh, in 2022 coal fired plants generated 36% of global electricity outstripping other sources. So the U S is using proportionately half of what other countries are doing. They're using nearly 40%.

We're using under 20%. So Kerry wants to take that away. And of course, we got more coal than Saudi Arabia has oil. So again, this is our own leaders training the guns internally on us. They're going to tax us internally. They're going to take away our energy internally, and they're going to take away our food with this stuff as well. But when you look at China, they are not at 36%. So we're under 20% in terms of coal.

China and the world on average is 36%. However, China is well over half of their input. And they're building new coal plants at a very fast pace. How fast? Well, they're building the equivalent of two large coal power plants per week. Per week. And all we're doing is shutting them down. They're building them per week.

And they don't have the coal resources that we do. They're getting coal from North Korea and other things like that, but they don't have the coal resources that we do. They're getting coal from North Korea and other things like that, but they don't have the internal resources for that. 50 gigawatts, gigawatts, Marty, of coal power capacity started construction in China last year. More than 50% increase from the previous year. They're accelerating. Many of these projects had their permits fast-tracked, and they moved to construction in a matter of months.

Again, two large coal power plants per week. And it's quadrupled since the amount of capacity permitted has more than quadrupled since 2021. It's going up exponentially. And so you go back and you look at the Paris Climate Accord, right? What was the Paris Climate Accord about? Paris Climate Accord was about moving energy production and manufacturing to China.

It wasn't about the Paris climate. As a matter of fact, the true believers, like the green puking woman, you know, who was there, those people said, wait a minute. Climate change is real and it's global. And so why are we allowing China and India to continue to build dirty power plants at any number that they want? And they said themselves, they said, this is nothing more than a transfer of manufacturing and energy production to China. And that's what it is. So the Paris Climate Accord,

they transferred energy production and manufacturing to China. And now at this COP28 conference, they're working on transferring our wealth to third world countries and calling it climate reparations reparations it is infuriating beyond belief it is all based on lies and fraud and fraudulent so-called treaties or packs or agreements or whatever you want to call it. The anti-coal pack is called the Power Past Coal Alliance. Started six years ago, had 50 members. Now six of them joined this weekend, six more joined this weekend,

so it's come up to 56. And they want to make everything about coal, except that it's not all about coal. They're also talking about methane. When they talk about coal, except that it's not all about coal. They're also talking about methane. When they talk about methane, understand that that is code for meat and dairy. And so John Kerry is scolding everybody. This guy who has absolutely no authority.

Somebody should scold him on the Constitution. Where is Senator Rand Paul or Senator Ted Cruz and all of this? They're senators. They know how the Constitution works. Why don't they call out Kerry for his fraudulent treaty pretenses that he's doing? You know, he self-ratified us into the Paris Climate Accord. Remember that under Obama? Yeah, I self-ratified that.

And then we looked at, did Trump shut that thing down? Yeah, I self-ratified that. And then we looked at, did Trump shut that thing down? No, he didn't. He asked Rex Tillerson and he asked Ivanka and they said, no, stay in it. And he had some other people said, no, I need to get out. And so what did he do? Being a fence setting politician, what Trump did was he said, we're going to get out of it and I'm going to take us out of it after the 2020 election. And so he did that. He waited until the 2020 election. He didn't take us out then.

And, of course, the real thing that would have been the nail in the coffin would have been Mitch McConnell. But, of course, McConnell is on their side, just like Trump is on their side. And so Trump said, well, I'm going to take us out of it. And that's when I had Steve Malloy on and we talked about it. We said, no, that's not the solution because it's just going to be reversed by Biden when he gets in. And it was reversed by Biden when he got in. And so the solution is for them to bring it to a vote so they can vote it down and kill

it. And Mitch McConnell, again, still had a majority there in the Senate. He could have done it. But look, Rand, Paul, and Ted Cruz and all of these Republican senators should be calling Kerry out on this, and they're not doing it. So he's scolding the world for not making enough sacrifices. Can we scold him for pretending that he has authority that he doesn't have? This guy has pretended to self-ratify the Paris Climate Accord. Now he's pretending to self-ratify this coal thing. He's a typical elitist hypocrite.

There's too much business as usual, he says. We have got to bring people to the table who are not yet there, and we will make progress in that. Yeah, it is too much business as usual, because we've seen these people with their elitist hypocrisy operating the same way for decades now. They're prophets of doom, and they're prophets of greenwashing.

P-R-O-F-I-T-S. Not everybody's doing what they promised to do, he said. Yeah, I noticed. You took an oath to the Constitution, didn't you? Uh-huh. And you're not following that either, are you, Kerry? He said this will require trillions of dollars in new spending

to go to his friends and his cronies, you see. And it's also going to require that we in the West go to nothing. We will have to send the money to the third world because they can't afford to do this. So we'll not only have to give up everything that we've got and pay billionaires and corporations and NGOs privileges, indulgences to use any energy. But we'll also have to subsidize these same types of transitions in the third world. And that's what this is about. You see, the first part of it, with the Paris Climate Accord,

he transfers energy and manufacturing to China. Now he's transferring the wealth to the third world in the name of reparations. Climate activists gathered there, echoed his criticism. The UN Climate Change Executive Secretary said, we've done nothing but take baby steps to avert the climate crisis. So watch out. They're about ready to ramp this climate MacGuffin up. The problem is that most citizens of the developing world hardly think that these sacrifices or baby steps or these

titanic price increases that they've done. The dirty secret of the Paris Climate Accords, says Breitbart, is that it is going to require re-primatizing the West on a massive scale. That's a good way to put it. Re-primatize us. That's not the way that King Charles is doing it, the man formerly known as Prince. He's out there saying we've got to return to nature. What he means is he wants to return to a kind of feudalism, which is the way he's been stealing property from people. And he's

really putting his crown on the line. Because to be this heavily political this is something that the monarchy has shied away from and um but not charles charles when he was called prince was um very much into politics it's one of the reasons why people speculated that maybe what elizabeth would do would just pass this over him because he'd already contaminated himself. He may be responsible for single-handedly shutting down the crown. We'll have to see. There's a lot of tradition there. There's a lot of conservatives who like having the crown and like the tradition and all the trappings and everything like that, they go with it,

but his politics may be a bit too much for them, or they may give him a pass like the MAGA people give Trump a pass when he betrays them because it is a betrayal. And you've already got the people on the left who don't like the monarchy. They want to get rid of it. So now he's going to do something that may alienate the conservatives. Although now most of the conservatives are people like Boris Johnson who don't really have any conservative values and they're in on this scam. Politicians in Western nations think that their ability to print reparations is maybe a way to strengthen the dollar.

I spoke earlier about the fact that, you know, okay, so the Federal Reserve is losing money or what? Who cares? The government is going into debt, $30 trillion. Who cares? We don't care about any of that stuff, right? If you want to make sure that the dollar doesn't go away, one of the things that you could do is to make it the golden ticket and say, we're going to hand out reparations to you. And that's exactly what Biden is doing.

He's already jumped in with pledging billions of dollars into this stuff. So as long as we're passing out weapons to dictators, as long as we are going to weapons to dictators, as long as we are going to pass out climate reparations to people, they're going to want to keep that gravy train of the dollar going. And so the petro dollar might actually turn into what would we call it? Greenback. It is green.

It is the color green. And so maybe they will use this whole climate scam thing to actually bolster the ponzi scheme that we call the u.s dollar the federal reserve note i should say that ponzi scheme it might actually be bolstered by this because again the ability to print money there's no limiting factor on the ability to print money we've seen that the last three years where's Breitbart been there's absolutely no limiting factor on their ability to print money they don't print the money as Powell's laughed somebody said well you know what how much more money can you well we don't actually print you know we couldn't print it that quickly we just create credits on a computer for people.

They can do that endlessly. And so when I look at this, I think this is a way of them incentivizing people building up the dollar. Kerry also then focused on food. Actually, he calls it methane emissions. It's the same thing. When you hear them talk about methane emissions,

understand they want to shut down conventional farming, meat, dairy. They want you to eat the bugs and all the rest of this stuff. He says, so Breitbart says, well, Western taxpayers may wonder where the trillions that they've spent so far, why that has not gotten us any gains against this existential crisis they're telling us about global warming. Well, because it was all a lie, of course. That's a rhetorical question.

I think, you know, as we've got Bill Gates saying, we've got to now cut down the trees that we know absorb the villainous carbon dioxide and emit oxygen for us. But he's saying we've got to cut down the trees and we've got to bury them. Maybe that's what we need to do, these politicians. At least bury their ideas. Let's cut down their ideas.

Let's bury their ideas. The Washington Examiner said, after 28 years of incredibly expensive COP climate conferences and green energy programs, this has not affected the Earth's climate or the atmospheric composition at all. The very existence of the fact that there is a COP 28 flies in the face of all their dire predictions, flies in the face of all their so-called solutions. It is a self-refuting thing it is as hypocritical as guterres saying

we've got to ban coal and hopping on his plane this entire climate conference is like that and yet um charles man formerly known as prince becomes very politicized in this as i said earlier they said uh and looking at it from the daily skeptic they said it could have been worse you could have had charles ascend to his dais and pronounced that we only had 96 months to avert irretrievable climate and ecosystem collapse oh but wait he did that he did that in 2009 in 2009 the same the same Charles said that we only had 96 months left. Well, okay, if we had to turn around at that point or we're so far down the path that we can't turn it around, then what are we doing with this stuff anyway? I mean, not only is he a false prophet,

but even if he was right about that, we're too far down the road to do anything about it. So let's party on. Let's just take out all the stops and let's go for it. Because we passed that tipping point a long, long time ago. So now the man who would be king and the man who may be the one who takes down the monarchy as a daily skeptic out of the UK said, he is no friend to humanity.

Speaking at cop 28 this weekend, he said the earth does not belong to us. We belong to the earth. I think he thinks that he owns it all. This futile overlord wannabe as we reported last week he's gone around he's taken tens of millions of dollars from his fellow citizens on a regular basis because if somebody dies without a will he uses his feudal law to confiscate their property he tells people he's going to give it to charity but he doesn't do that

so um yeah this is the kind of we're here to serve mankind like the twilight zone episode you find out it's a recipe book from the aliens yeah this guy is uh he's serving all right uh he is serving satan and his depopulation agenda that's really what he's serving. As a daily skeptic says, however, though, he is on the world stage and he's always exhibited a snobbish disdain for capitalism and for people who actually produce stuff. This is a characteristic of the British aristocracy. They'd always look down their noses at people who were in, as I called it, trade.

Oh, he's in trade. We, however, were born into a life of what? Privilege. That's real privilege. Real privilege. Why doesn't somebody talk about Charles's privilege? In 2009, he said we can no longer afford consumerism and the, quote, age of convenience,

but not for him. He has lived a life of pampered indulgence, says the Daily Skeptic, where no expense is spared to ensure his every comfort. On his ascension to the throne, he added considerably to his palace portfolio. To spread his malevolent net zero fantasies, he added considerably to his palace portfolio.

To spread his malevolent net zero fantasies, he has a fleet of cars, private planes, even a personal train at his command. He uses these to call for, quote, transformational action, unquote, to be taken to save the planet. In his COP 28 speech this weekend, he called for the restoration of nature, the need for sustainable agriculture, and for cooperation between the public and private sectors. When he talks about the restoration of nature and sustainable architecture, as I said, this is shorthand for getting rid of farms. Yeah, we want to return to nature, so we want to destroy the farms. So he has co-opted private property stolen under his feudal law and he wants to take everybody's farms that's what these people are

about at one point in his cop speech he veered into as they put it in the daily skeptic sandwich board territory in other words the world is the end of the world is nigh. Claiming that we are seeing alarming tipping points being reached. Well, he said that back in 2009, didn't he? There was no evidence presented to justify this alarm. And they don't have any data that they're willing to show us. This has always been the case. Going back to, at the time,, when he was sounding that alarm, that's when we had the first climate gate.

It came out of England, out of the University of East Anglia. And these people were passing back and forth emails saying, our models don't work. How are we going to hide the decline? How are we going to hide our data? And they were very successful doing it. At one point, he referred to repeated cyclones battering vulnerable islands something that cyclones have always done but all they're doing is yet again cherry picking individual storms

and yet when you look at the data you find that the frequency and the intensity of the storms has not changed over time it It is essentially the same. It's a noisy thing, but it stays, you know, there is a trend line that is horizontal throughout these variations year to year. Wildfires are still a dud. Even the UN IPCC, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, says that most of these fires were started by humans.

There's your man-made global warming, arson. But despite all of that, they have the emissions from that, and that has all stayed about the same. But at the very end of this, David Cameron has just said the UK will pay more than 60 million pounds in climate reparations to developing countries. But that's nothing. Charles has demanded five trillion per year.

You see how disappointed he is? He's so angry. He wants five trillion dollars per year and all he's getting is a measly 60 million pounds. And where's that money going to go? Well, of course, it'll go to people like him and it'll go to his friends.

Because when you address the climate catastrophe they pretend is existing in the developing countries uh it's going to be going to companies and multinational companies and ngos and people like that we're going to be doing silly things like cutting down trees and burying them or capturing uh sucking carbon dioxide that's actually destructive out of the atmosphere, pumping it into the ground, then pumping it across the country, across America, and to storage facilities. This is unbelievably stupid. But the people who do these quixotic quests are going to be handsomely paid, and they're going to be friends of people like the man

formerly known as prince the 28 years ago i was most touched to be asked to speak at the opening of the cop 21 in paris and of course nothing has changed except for the target is again move the energy and the manufacturing to china with paris and now with these new things with coal and all the rest of this and the reparations that COP wants to do, now we move our wealth out. We've eviscerated our income by moving manufacturing to China. Now they're going to come after the wealth

and send that to other places. And so he says, I pray with all my heart that the COP 28 will be another critical turning point. Who does he pray to, by the way? I wonder who this guy is. He's supposed to be a defender of the faith. He doesn't even like Christianity. I don't know who this guy prays to, but I'd be afraid to find out, actually.

So as we look at this, his plan involves bringing together, as he says, public-private philanthropic. Oh, it's not a partnership. It's a philanthropy now because we don't want to be in trade, right? NGOs, so they play their part in delivering climate action, he said, because public finance alone will never be sufficient.

The world, he says, needs an international financial system to accomplish this yes you're not going to be able to do your control of everybody's lives unless you have an international financial system that consists of something like uh cbdc and um so um before we run out of time let me respond to some of the people who have left uh messages and tips even um thank you uh tall man thank you tall man 916 thank you very much for the tip he says some of the people who have left messages and tips even um thank you uh tall man thank you tall man 916 thank you very much for the tip he says speaking of the fed and the irs

would you be able to have g edward griffin on the show sometime i should try to get him on i've interviewed him once many years ago and he's still doing interviews so i should try to get him on uh rumble obsolete man 1776 um thank you david no authority that's right for these so-called agreements which are really treaties on rock fan audi good see you there modern retro radio come on david if the war on drugs ends what are the cops going to use as a ruse to violate our fourth amendment rights well they'll probably do it in the name of methane emissions or something that's what they'll use it'll be the war on climate uh rock fan harps good to see you there out of australia uh he has no great seal there needs to be warrants issued for the transfer of the crown queen lizzie didn't do it and one hasn't

been issued in his name so he is king only in name well there we go so you got the king charles who is king only in name as uh harps is saying there perhaps i don't know anything about that but i'll just take your word on it so the man who uh formerly known as prince is still maybe still prince someday the prince will come and become king but uh yeah just as john carrey has no authority maybe king charles isn't really King Charles. Who knows? Because, you know, it's just whatever they can get away with. We're not going to really stand on law,

not even on tradition. Well, thank you for listening. Have a good day. Looking for better information? APSradioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world. APSradioNews.com The David Knight Show is a critical thinking super spreader.
