You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 6th of January, Year of Our Lord 2023. Day 1030 of the emergency order. And two years after the famous incident, shall we say. So we're going to talk about where we are right now. It's kind of interesting, I think, that on the two-year anniversary, you now have Fox News calling anybody who dissents against the establishment insurrectionist. Isn't that interesting?

We'll talk about that. I've not covered what's going on with this McCarthy thing, but I think it's about time we talk a little bit about it. It's gotten interesting in a different way other than just the political theater. We're also going to have as a guest today James Bovard, a libertarian writer who's been all over the place in terms of books that he's written, media outlets that carry his columns and so forth. So we're going to talk about liberty with James Bovard as well. Stay with us. We'll be right back. Well, last night before they quit, they got to the 12th ballot.

12 of them. And what I think is interesting is this is the most since right before the Civil War. That's kind of interesting. I think significant as well. There have been 127 speaker elections since 1789, the constitution, uh, in the modern era, you need to get a majority of house members voting. That's a 218 right now, because of course they fixed the number of, um, representatives and allow the population that under each representative

to continue to grow big mistake, by the way, big, big mistake. That was initially in the constitution. They got that taken out. And then of course, you know, as I've talked about this in the past, um, there was, um, there are limitations that are in the constitution that, uh, they're ignoring as opposed to be capped. And they just said, no, we're going to write a law. Well, you've got to amend the Constitution if you want to change that. But again, we are so far away from the Constitution.

It would be a good thing if you had the number of people represented limited to about 50,000. I think it was 30,000, and then it could grow up to 50,000. Right now, it's more than 10 times that. I know when I was running 25 years ago, there was about 500,000. I think it's more like 750,000 or more. So taking it back to 50,000, what would that do? Well, that'd give us, instead of hundreds, it would give us a few thousand congressional representatives. That could easily be done.

They could do it remotely. That's not a theory anymore. Said it for a long time. They could easily do that. But they forced that on us during the pandemic lockdown. And so we know that that could be done. As a matter of fact, it would require such a large physical space that the people could stay in their districts would that be interesting if they stayed in their districts instead of going

to washington dc and becoming some kind of a federal creature because that's what happens you can see that happening with mtg right now but uh so it's the most that they've had for quite some time. They said prior to this week's vote, 14 speaker elections required multiple ballots with 13 of those occurring before the Civil War. The only time after the Civil War besides this was 1923 when it took nine tries. They're going to have to go to 12. I think, I can't remember, I think it was, did they do the 12th last night

or did they do the 11th one last night? Who knows, I lost count. I'm not following it that closely. The bigger trend, though, I think is important. Notice the distinction of the Civil War. Prior to the Civil War, we had a much more constitutional, much more democratic, interactive government. The Civil War brought a tremendous amount of consolidation, centralization, corruption, repudiation of the Constitution. That came in the aftermath of that, but leading up to it, leading up to that fourth turning,

we had in 1855, the one that had the most votes, that took two months and 133 ballots. That was 1855. We could only be so fortunate if we could keep Congress shut down for two months. I'm rooting for the guys, the little guys that are stretching this thing out for whatever reason. I don't really care, but actually they do have a good reason. But I would support stretching this thing out and keeping Congress closed for whatever

reason. But it was 1855 that it went for the longest amount of time, two months and 133 ballots. But in 1851, just before the Civil War began, after the 1860 election, it began in 1861. So two years before that, the country was also divided, and it went to 44 ballots in 1859. And so as we are getting to a fourth turning, what is the trend that is really more important than this fight back and forth over McCarthy? Who is establishment? Who is Davos and the rest of this stuff? More importantly, I think we need to see that we are at a period of time where people are sick and tired of our corrupt, useless, and perverted institutions. And that includes the 20 congressmen that are there. They're sick of it as well.

And it includes the mainstream media that's calling them insurrectionists. So they don't want to have a truly functioning Congress. Congress has become completely irrelevant, as I've said many times. The president made himself irrelevant over a thousand days ago by turning the government over to Fauci and to bureaucrats, public health bureaucrats, medical martial law. The foundation of that has not been removed because the executive order is still there. And we have some states that are starting to understand that and offering some legislation

saying we've got to review executive orders and nullify them. That's being floated in several states. That's a very good thing. It's a necessary thing. But, you know, you have checks and balances, not just between the states and the federal government, but you have it within the federal government. But there is no check and balance on the power of the executive. There certainly isn't a check or balance on the power of the Supreme Court. They have given themselves

a final say over everything. And so that has to be nullified, whether it's done by Congress or whether it's done by state governments. But Congress has abdicated all of its functions and its authority, kicking them over to the bureaucrats. This is why when Nancy Pelosi said about Obamacare, well, we have to pass it so we can find out what's in it. Everybody said, is she crazy? They were trying to make her out to be some kind of a Joe Biden or something before Joe Biden became famous for dementia. But she was not suffering from dementia. She suffered from a momentary clarity and candor saying, this is how it works. We create these big structures. Then we kick it over to the bureaucracy. They write all the rules and put all the devils in the details.

They just wash their hands of it. And that's the way Congress has operated. And the people who are the leaders in Congress have taken all the functionality of Congress away. That's why these 20 people are doing this, because they don't have any say. They can't offer amendments from the floor. They can't have a democratic discussion or debate. This is decided by the leaders of the House and the leaders of the Senate,

and they ram the stuff through, just like they did with the $1.7 trillion bill that just went through. So it's going on and on, and Fox News is getting angrier and angrier. These people. It's actually funny to see it. In an overnight vote, the Buffalo guy was elected Speaker of the House, says Babylon B.

It's really pretty close to the truth, isn't it? In a shocking overnight vote, QAnon shaman, also known as the Buffalo guys, received the majority of votes to become speaker of the house. But when you look at Fox News, I mean, they they really sound like it. Here we are two years after January the 6th, 2021. Fox News is calling congressmen who don't fall in line behind the establishment, they're calling them insurrectionists. Here's Brian Kilmeade. That's the way I pronounce his name. I've got to listen to this guy just kill me first.

Here they are on, what is this, Fox and Friends or something in the morning? I don't know. They can discuss ways to get around this and try to come together today at noon. Right, but here's the thing. If you pick Jim, just how insincere the insurrectionists are, we might probably shouldn't use that word, the people that don't want to vote for Kevin McCarthy. They would disagree. Saboteurs.

Saboteurs. So if you... That's supposed to be better? Saboteurs? Call them bombers or something. What is the matter with those guys? The insurrectionists. No, they would disagree with that.

Call them saboteurs. Well, I guess we can throw them in jail without trial and torture them, right? It didn't look like an accident to me, said one person. He meant to use that specific term. And that is exactly what I believe as well. You know, I talked about this last night on the program. I always forget to tell everybody we got a Thursday night program on Rockfin. It's a premium program, but it's good.

We have a lot of back and forth. It's a lot more interactive. We're working on ways to make it more interactive so we can take calls and things like that on it. Anyway, we were talking about this last night, and Tom Pappert had put up the picture of McCarthy that was at World Economic Forum. And it shows him right there, World Economic Forum, House Majority Leader, and so forth. And it turns out that he's got a long history with World Economic Forum. He was there in 2018 when Trump went. And along with Kevin McCarthy and Trump,

you had Mitch McConnell's wife, Elaine Chao, was also there. Also, Christian Nielsen, Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security at the time, they were all there. And of course, they were there there as we were told by the trump press they were there to lecture uh klaus schwab and put the world economic forum in its place we're not globalist we are nationalists and we're populist and we're gonna we're gonna continue down this path and then he slavishly did everything that they wanted done in less than two years.

But, you know, Elaine Chao is kind of interesting because you have Trump on the war path with her. And because she's Mitch McConnell's wife, he said some very angry things. But she was there for the entire four years of the Trump administration. He didn't have any problems with her. She's one of the few people that he didn people that he put in place and didn't fire. I don't know what Elaine Chao's expertise in transportation is, just like I don't know what Pete Boudigay's expertise in transportation is. He was referred to as Pothole Pete in the town where he was mayor because he didn't fix the roads.

Elaine Chao didn't have any experience in transportation. This was simply nepotism and political corruption. Trump was trying to curry favor with Mitch McConnell. That's why he put her in. That's why he left her in for four years. And, of course, the same thing was done by George W. Bush. He put in Lane Chow, Mitch McConnell's wife, for the entire eight years of his regime. She was Secretary

of Labor. So this is the way the system works. But in 2018, Kevin McCarthy came back and he said he talked about his dinner with klaus i remember there was a movie called my dinner with andre and uh it's just the two guys talking and uh wallace sean who is in the princess bride is just sitting there and he's just enthralled by everything that Andre says, even if it's very mundane. And I can imagine that was probably the situation at Kevin McCarthy, my dinner with Klaus.

Really Klaus? Oh, he says, as I sat around Klaus's dinner last night, what's interesting is the number of countries who are now talking about a tax system. And we made that available. Yeah, they were talking about it, I'm sure, and how they could subvert what was going on. But, again, that was not his only time with World Economic Forum. He was there in 2016 as well. Going back to 2016, roll call.

Says McCarthy discusses the economy at Davos house. Majority leader, Kevin McCarthy spent his Friday morning, 2016 and snowy Davos, Switzerland meeting with global chief executives of foreign countries to do considerable business in the U S Greg Abbott was also there along with John Hickenlooper, the Democrat from Colorado at live score bet.

Innovate, the IT solutions people. McCarthy said at the time, the House has led a successful effort to modernize America's infrastructure, having just passed a five-year reauthorization bill that provides necessary resources. I'm sure he was just there trying to get people to come and do business in America, just like Greg Abbott was there just to get people to do business in Texas. I'm sure that was all it was. There was nothing, no discussions about how they could subvert our government in a couple of years, nothing like that. Donald Trump now very angry about Chow, and what has happened is she spoke

to the January 6th committee about what happened two years ago today. He's got a nickname for her. And he really, here's what he had to say. If Republicans are going to fight, we ought to be fighting Mitch McConnell and his domineering China-loving boss. I mean, wife, Coco Chow. The harm they've done to the Republican Party is incalculable. Today, he couldn't be elected dog catcher in Kentucky. Sadly, he only won because of my endorsement.

He went up 21 points. Sorry. Well, the reality is that nobody has damaged the Republican Party more than Donald Trump. As one of the people last night on the show show as we're going back and forth talking. So take a look at what Trump is now. He destroyed the reform party. He's everywhere he goes. He divides and conquers.

He splits up. He creates factions, everything around himself, around his ego. And of course, this is about his wounded ego. Elaine Chao is not somebody that or mitch mcconnell i'm not defending either one of them elaine chow has deep ties to the chinese communist government i think through her family and um i uh i would not defend her but trump left her there for four years he appointed her left her there for four, had absolutely no problem with her until she wounded him. Deeply wounded narcissist, incapable of acting except in his own perceived

self-interest or out of revenge in this particular case. That's what his lawyer, former lawyer, Ty Cobb said about Trump. absolutely true. As I pointed out last night, as we're on the cusp of Davos meeting, the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos beginning, a daily skeptic said, you don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to be worried about the World Economic Forum. Well, it's not a theory. They've made it very clear. And he quotes a writer in the UK as well, Samuel Gregg, distinguished fellow.

I'm sorry, he's not in the UK. He's at the American Institute for Economic Research. The Daily Skeptic is in the UK. But he said, he argues that if you care about liberty, democracy, and national self-determination, it's perfectly rational to be concerned about the influence of Klaus Schwab and his followers. It's perfectly rational to be concerned about the influence of Klaus Schwab on Kevin McCarthy when he meets with him multiple times, has dinner with him.

Not because they are puppeteers controlling politicians across the West. You don't think so? You don't think so? You don't think so? But because they believe in top-down technocratic forms of government exemplified by the EU, and they're pushing that. Well, he says it wields no formal political power. Is that right? Does the UN wield any formal political power over us?

What about the WHO? What about the World Economic Forum? This partnership announced 2019 between the World Economic Forum and the UN. Of course, they had made it clear that they were all on the same page in terms of the Great Reset and the rest of this stuff. When the UN created the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, the World Economic Forum came out with essentially the same thing, doing videos.

They have a partnership. They have a union. One of them comes up and sells the big ideas, the UN does, and Davos brings together politicians and corporations and they say um do you want to we're building the future we're tearing down the present and we're going to rebuild a future do you want to be a part of that future do you want to have a stake in that future you could be a stakeholder Because if you're not a stakeholder, you will own nothing. You'll go nowhere.

That's what they've explained to us, right? So if you are a corporation and you want to get in bed with these guys, you do the kinds of stuff that Elon Musk has. And then you become a stakeholder. And if you were giving massive amounts of money to them and they're giving money back to you, it's a circular thing. But the politicians, they are selling the public goods at no cost to them. And so it works out very well for the politicians and the puppeteers who are pulling the strings.

Because if you give them money, you get what you want back. And usually you get thousands of percent return on investment from them. A little bit of money for the politician. And then you get major concessions and contracts. You get to be one of the two or three companies that's going to be controlling transportation or whatever. One of the one or two companies that are going to be allowed to do drone deliveries because we're going to shut everything else down.

That's what they get from that. But if you're giving money to these politicians, there's going to be strings with that. And so that's reality. It's the difference by saying, well, they don't have any formal governments. That's the difference between talking about global government and global governance. We don't have a formal global government, but we sure do have global governance. There is no question that the UN and the WHO and the World Economic Forum, there's no question that they're calling the shots. They're setting the agenda. And the politicians are all marching in lockstep with their agenda to a deadline of a new society in

place by 2030. There's no question about that. So we have global governance. ESG, environmental, societal, governance, run through this kind of fascist merger between politicians and corporations to push this through. And this is happening in every single country. It's not just in America. We saw that for the last 1,030 days and it's still there. So now you have, um, harps. Thank you very much for that. Gerald Salenti for speaker of the house. That would be entertaining. Shut up and sit down. You know, it's sad. Matt Gaetz is mocking Trump's 11th hour plea for McCarthy. This is the way that it was put out by Mediaite, saying that the never Kevin contingent is

holding firm. And so when Trump said, hey hey we don't need to embarrass ourselves that isn't that strange that trump would be worried about embarrassing that would be the justification when has trump been embarrassed about anything you know he kicks his wife out the door and criticizes and all the people that work for him he does the same thing you're fired and then mocks them as they leave, uh, creating deep, deep enemies everywhere. He goes, uh, since when has he been worried about embarrassment? So Matt Gates, who I'm not a fan of Matt Gates, he says sad.

He said, this changes neither my view of McCarthy nor Trump, nor my vote. And so, as I said, you know, Fox News is very upset about it. You got Brian Kilmey calling him insurrectionist. Then Sean Hannity got Lauren Boebert on and berated her over it. You need to just give up because she came back and she said, look, President Trump needs to not tell us this. He needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that he can't win and he needs to step down so we can get somebody else. And so this is the exchange back and forth between Hannity and Boebert.

With reaction is Congresswoman Boebert. Now, Congresswoman, let me let me you tweet. Town Hall quoted you today saying the president, you said complimentary things about President Trump, needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, sir, you do not have the votes. It's time to withdraw. Let me turn the tables. Congresswoman Kevin McCarthy has 202, three votes. Your side has 20. So if I'm going to use your words and your methodology and your math, isn't it time for you to pack it in and your side to pack it in, considering he has over 200

and you have 20? Sean, I understand the frustration, I promise you, but I'm not frustrated. He does not answer my question. We are hearing we are hearing from many people who are still voting with him. He's not frustrated. He's angry. I'm very supportive of what we're doing, and they're cheering us on. So there are more for us than are against us, and they are waiting for Kevin to cave. Okay. Congresswoman. You know, the American people are certainly frustrated by it.

I'm frustrated by you not answering a direct question. You said to President Trump, you said earlier today that President Trump needs to tell Kevin McCarthy you don't have the votes. Can I finish? Can I finish? You don't have the votes and it's time to withdraw. He has 203. Your side has 20. Why is it time for him to withdraw and not you when he has so many more votes? Well, Sean, he needs 218 and he does not have 218. We've been trying to work this out in private, as you said, for months. But Kevin McCarthy didn't even want to listen to us until his disappointing midterms. We all want a unified party. But this isn't chaos. It's a functioning constitutional republic. When everything is said and done, I like the

Republicans will be stronger and better prepared to lead than we ever have before. I believe that this is what our founding fathers intended. And this is showing that our votes are working. Our votes aren't just a cast to await a key. Congresswoman, I'd ask you not to filibuster. Yesterday you voted and Jim Jordan was your choice. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement excitement the roar

and I'm putting all my stuff through, and I turn around, Sean Hannity was there. And so, you know, we talked a little bit. He was really nice, a really nice guy, a nice guy to all the security guys and everything.

You know, he's, um, but I've never seen him any testier than that with a Republican. And it got a lot worse. I mean, it was that whole thing. I didn't subject to that.

That was only about a minute and a half, two minutes? But that goes on for over nine minutes, almost 10 minutes. And it gets a lot testier than that, screaming over each other. The reality is that these 20 people have a right and a duty to vote what they believe is right. We've seen Ron Paul be the sole person to vote against something, and he has that right. And all 20 of those people have that same right. We saw Thomas Massey, the sole opposition to nearly $4 trillion

that Trump ran through at the beginning of this pandemic MacGuffin. And Trump was furious with him, wanted him primaried out. That was another big sign of where Trump was coming from. But they have the right and the duty to do that. But Fox is not very happy about that. Here's Brett Baer coming after Chip Roy. Well, thanks, Brett. Thanks for having me on. These conversations are continuing. We're doing exactly what the American people want us to do, being here in Washington,

trying to make sure we stand up to fight for them and represent our constituents against a swamp that is basically rolling over them. $1.7 trillion omnibus bills. They get no real representation. We can't offer amendments on the representation. We can't offer amendments on the floor. We can't actually have participation in the process because things are cooked up in secret committees, in the rules committee, as they call it. It's a secret committee, basically, that nobody knows about that then funnels everything to the floor. And we want to be able to have a say on that. It's not enough just to get the same old rules, the 72 hours and stuff that's already in the rules and gets waived regularly.

It's a majoritarian body. You can put whatever you want in the rules, but if they can just be waived away magically because Mitch McConnell and the leadership of the House decided to jam through a bill, then we have no say. So this is all about defending the American people against the swamp. And we're having conversations right now. Literally, I'm going to leave this interview and go right back to keep having those conversations. And we're making progress, but we still have a long way to go. Let me just be clear. You're lumping in Kevin McCarthy with the swamp and thereby saying that

former President Donald Trump in endorsing McCarthy is somehow tied to the swamp. Is that what you're against, Trump? Look, you can talk to President Trump about his endorsements. I don't really pay attention to it. Well, let me then keep going. Specifics. What exactly do you want? You want, what, four out of nine positions on the Rules Committee? Well, I'm not going to give you exact numbers, but I want to be able to have enough members of the Rules Committee

that we can block bad bills. So that could be three, that could be four, and I want to make sure that Republicans are the ones making sure that those bills get through the rules committee to the floor. And I want an open amendment process. And I want to be able to have the ability to make points of order on the floor. If amendments aren't going to be able to be relevant, if they're not germane, et cetera. You know, I think it's interesting. They're trying to play the Trump card. You've got to fall in line. He just laid out how this whole system is railroaded.

And as I said before, Congress has for the longest time abdicated all of its responsibility. We now have taxation without representation. We now have regulation without representation because they've abdicated all that to the bureaucracy that's under the executive branch. And it got much worse with Trump when he did things like saying, well, we're going to ban bump stocks. I'm going to do it by executive order. And I'm going to tell the ATF that is under me, under the executive branch, to go ahead and do that. And they did it.

It's been upheld now by the Supreme Court. So now the Second Amendment, the Constitution can be voided not just by a majority vote in Congress, but by an unelected, unaccountable bureaucracy under the president. He can do things by executive order. That has to stop. We don't have anything that remotely resembles the Constitution anymore. And Congress is absolutely useless. And that's why I say, this is why you've got a very tiny minority of people, only 20 people out of all of Congress saying we've got to go back to a situation where we're not controlled by three or four people at the top.

And Kevin McCarthy has been a part of that for a long time. Let me play for you a speech by Chip Roy where he's able to lay this out without being interrupted by a protesting Fox personality. Here's Chip Roy. Well, thanks, Brad. How many times have we been down here giving speeches and there's not a soul in the chamber? Yet this is what it takes to get 435 people in the chamber and have an actual debate.

The American people are watching, and that's a good thing. What we're doing is exercising our rights to vote and have a debate and have a discussion about the future of this country through the decision of choosing a speaker. This is not personal. It's not. This is about the future of the country. This is about the direction of the country. American people who are looking at this body and wondering why we can pass $1.7 dollar bills that are unpaid for. They can just slide in 45 billion dollars for Ukraine but not pay for it. 40 billion dollars for emergency spending and not pay for it. 10 percent increase in defense spending. Six percent increase in non-defense spending and not pay for it. And not do a thing except put language in a bill

that prohibits our ability to use the money to secure the border. That bill gets rammed through and we know exactly how it gets rammed through. Because the defense world and the non-defense world come together and say, you know what, we're going to cut a deal and we'll all go to the mics and we're all going to give speeches and the American people are the big losers that's what happens we know that's what happens the rules committee sits up there and passes a bill sends it to the floor and we have no debate on the floor of this body we haven't been able to offer an amendment on the floor of this body since May of 2016. The former leader and I have discussed this right here. That's true.

But the fact is, this place has to change. It has to change. And the change comes by either adopting rules and procedures that will make us actually do our job, or it comes from leadership. And people ask me, what do you want? I want the tools or I want the leadership to stop the swamp from running over the average American every single day. We can't keep doing this. I'm going to sit here until we figure out how to stop spending money we don't have. I don't want any more empty promises. I don't want any more, oh, don't worry, trust us, we'll do it. I want to know that we're going to be able to exercise our rights as a

member of this body to stand up for the American people and actually fix this country. Well, and you know, what you're talking about here is a Congress that actually functions versus a small oligarchy of politicians. And Trump stands with that.

As if he hadn't been president for four years, he vows to wage war on the drug cartels and to fight them as he does ISIS. The drug war turned 51 in this last June. So it's now 51 and a half years old.

Okay, Boomer, you got the solution. You want to do more of the same, right? Well, let's just use more force. That'll stop everything. For the longest time, I've talked about how the drug war is totally unconstitutional. We had to have a constitutional amendment to prohibit alcohol. Everybody understood that. They went through a lot of trouble to get a constitutional amendment, the 18th Amendment, to prohibit alcohol because there is clearly, clearly no basis for prohibiting anything from the federal government. And that means any kind of food, any kind of supplements, any kind of drugs, alcohol included. And then they repealed the ability to prohibit alcohol with the 21st Amendment. And yet, they have snuck in through a gradual process.

And this is the way that they're doing things. This is the way that they're operating. This is what's dangerous about the lingering executive orders and this Model State Health Emergency Powers Act that was pushed out to the states after 9-11. What's dangerous about that is this creeping, silent tyranny that keeps expanding its mission. And that's what the war on drugs has been for the longest time. There is no authority for it. And the use of force has been totally ineffective. Drugs are a bigger problem now than they've ever been.

We have more concentrated forms of everything, including marijuana, because of prohibition. That happened under alcohol prohibition as well. It will also happen under gun prohibition. You will not stop the guns. It'll get more dangerous, and you'll have far more effective firearms will be designed. And the competition will be shooting it out on the streets, as it was with alcohol prohibition. But it also corrupts the police, it corrupts the courts, it corrupts the government, and it doesn't work,

even from a pragmatic standpoint. It's totally unconstitutional, it's unethical, it's not practical. And yet, we're going to escalate it. Just vote for me, we'll escalate this. Vote for me, I'll give you a police state says the man who put in the basis of the health police state, 1,030 days ago. Uh,

you know, if he says he's going to fight the drug cartels, like he fought ISIS, do you remember that we armed ISIS? Michael Flynn pointed that out. A lot of people pointed it out. We had a lot of documentation about how the U.S. was arming ISIS. They were getting arms as well from the debacle that we had in Libya

that became an arms bazaar there. And it's even worse now with Afghanistan. But, of course, our government has been at the center of the drug trade for quite some time. When we went into Afghanistan, we had American troops guarding poppy fields there. That was reported by mainstream media. And they justified it by saying, well, they've got to have an income. Got to have an income. So we're going to keep this going.

The Taliban had reduced it significantly, uh, as below 10% of the world's supply. Once we got in there and started guarding the poppy fields for them, the U S military guarding the poppy fields, it went up to, um, uh, over 90% of the world's supply was coming from there. And every year it was going up more and more. It was the CIA that created the crack cocaine epidemic because they want people helpless and dependent upon them. Everything that they're doing is focused on that. They want to keep us in our little rooms. They want to keep us connected to our TV sets. They want to put us in a virtual reality so that we feel like we're free, but we're not. We're under control.

They want us addicted to sex, to drugs, to money, anything, but they're going to keep all the money. So they've got some other things they want to keep us addicted to, but they want us helpless. And if he wants to fight the drug cartels, why doesn't he come after the pharmaceutical companies? When you look at the opioid trade, that's the opioid trade. The, um, um, yeah, you could call it the opioid trade. Uh, I remember when Chris Christie was running for president and he told a story about a friend of his from college,

very successful lawyer with a practice and everything. And he said, you know, the guy was out jogging, unlike Chris Christie, and he hurt his back. And he said, they gave him opioid prescriptions for that.

And he said he got addicted to it. And it destroyed his practice. He lost his home. He lost his family. And eventually he committed suicide. And so Chris Christie said, you know what we need to do about this? We need to prohibit marijuana. I'm never going to give up on marijuana. It's like, what? How did you pivot to that? Absolutely insane. And yet you take these companies like Purdue, like Johnson & Johnson that made the drugs for Purdue and also sold them themselves. No matter how corrupt they are, getting caught just like Pfizer did, bribing doctors, providing prostitutes for them and everything else and parties and trips and all the rest of the stuff to prescribe this. No matter how corrupt they are, the government treats them with kid gloves. You remember when they finally said, okay, this is enough. It's gotten so big,

we've got to stop this. And they sat down, the federal government and all these state attorneys general, they sat down, they negotiated a settlement with Johnson & Johnson and the other companies. Well, how much do you want to pay? And it's just ridiculous. It's what they did with Hillary Clinton. Can we see your computer? No? Okay, sorry to bother you.

And they basically did that to these companies. And then under Trump, they tried to bring in Johnson & Johnson, who hadn't done any vaccines. I know you had a lot of problems there with opioids, so let's get you in here into a corner of the business where you've got no liability. How about that? Vaccines. You want to do some vaccines?

We can get you in the vaccine business. I know you had a hard time, and you had some penalties that you had to pay. When they came after El Chapo and the Sinaloa drug cartel, they just took everything he had under civil asset forfeiture. Why didn't they do that with the Sackler family? Why didn't they do that with Purdue Pharmaceutical? Why didn't they do that with Johnson & Johnson?

Because of corruption. The corruption that is involved, of course, that we're all seeing now with the pharmaceutical companies. But it's also the corruption that is happening with the drug trade. I mean, you're fine as long as you're playing ball with the CIA like Manuel Noriega did. But when you go on your own, now you're a strong man. And even if you're the head of state of another country, they're going to come in and take you out. That's the corruption that's there.

It's pretty amazing to see Trump focusing on that. Last time we were talking about it, I said, yeah, you know, there was, Trump did interviews with Playboy a couple of times. He was on the cover of Playboy in 1990. He did a long interview with him in 1990. He did another one in 2004. I had seen many times that, well, Trump said the drug war's not working, and we just need to, it's a failure, and we need to legalize drugs. And so I've been looking for that interview. I said, I've been trying to find it. One person said, hey, I located a copy of the magazine that's on eBay. You can get it for $667.

I said, I don't think Karen would like me paying $667 for a Playboy, even if I told her it was for the interviews. I think they should have priced it at 666. But anyway, I was able to find the interviews last night, but I wasn't able to find what I have seen reported multiple times. I found both in 1990 and the 2004. Maybe Trump did more interviews with Playboy. I don't know.

But this was repeated in an interview with Roger Stone, May 2018. But I didn't hear it from Roger. I didn't see it in this article. He had an interview with Rolling Stone. They said in 2018, they I didn't hear it from Roger. I didn't see it in this article. He had an interview with Rolling Stone. They said, um, in 2018, they asked Roger Stone, Rolling Stone, Roger Stone. It should have tried to become anyway. The, uh, do you think the president has fixed views? Do you think he has actual convictions?

Well, no, but they're working on it in Congress. They're trying to get, they're trying to get him some convictions uh roger stone says i think he's pragmatic at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race that's how we celebrate the biggest week in racing cheltenham with live score bet this is total betting sign up by 2 p.m 14th of march bet within 48 hours of race main market excluding specials and place bets terms apply bet responsibly 18 plus gambling care.ee i think he's more of a populist

than he is an ideological conservative look this is a guy who said in a Playboy interview 15 years ago. So I think he's talking about the 2004 interview. The war on drugs was an ignominious failure and that drugs should be legalized. Well, again, I could not find that in 2004 interview unless the one that is online available from Play Playboy online, is abridged. And maybe they got the full one if you see the magazine or something like that. But I've seen that reported from other people. I didn't get that from Roger. I didn't get it from his interview with Rolling Stone.

But where are we today? You know, we are, like I said, it's a strange situation as the majority of states have legalized medical marijuana. And for the longest time, people would say, you know, look, it happened in Texas. Even though medical marijuana is not legal in Texas, they've made an exception for one particular thing, and that is people who are having seizures. But they do require that you must go to a doctor and you've got to try all the pharmaceuticals, and then if they don't work, then they will allow you

to get the medical marijuana that so many people have said works. And they're doing the same thing with that that they did with ivermectin and HCQ. Well, there haven't been any studies done. Well, fine, do a study. No, we're not going to do any studies. There haven't been any studies done and we're not going to do a study, so we're not going to approve it for that. There was a Texas state representative that had a great deal of respect.

David Simpson, I think, if I remember correctly. I interviewed him a couple of times about a decade ago. And he had stood up to the TSA, rock-ribbed conservative Christian. He introduced a bill to take out marijuana throughout the Texas Criminal Code. Just take it out. He said it was made by God. Just, you know, you don't have any authority over this.

But he was able to get through that exception that I just talked about. He said it's horrific. In his district, he said. There were two families. They had children who had uncontrollable seizures. And by the way, I'll add that that is a known problem for a known adverse reaction to vaccines. So you have these kids who have seizures, very good chance that it was from vaccination.

They couldn't find anything that worked the in desperation. The parents went to both of these families, went to Colorado and they, and it worked for both of them. The only thing they've ever found that works, the kids were having constant seizures, life-threatening seizures. And so he said,

I cannot in good conscience threaten these parents with jail for doing that for their kids. We've got to stop this. And so he was able to get that through. So you have this situation where the federal government is still saying that marijuana is illegal, but the states have said that it is legal. Some of them have completely legalized it for recreational use, but the states have said that it is legal. Some of them have completely legalized it for recreational use, but the majority have for medical use. And yet you still have these situations in California where they've legalized it for recreational use, where you have local sheriffs coming in.

And remember the cases where they were robbing the armored cars? The sheriff was robbing the armored cars? They did it three times. The third time, the armored car did not have any money in there, and they got them on tape saying, well, I thought we were going to get a lot more money than this. We got a lot more the other two times. It was just a racket.

They were going around different businesses and picking up the cash and taking it to the bank, which is what the armored cars do. They were going to some state-legalized marijuana dispensaries. And they said, well, under federal law, that's still illegal, and so we're going to work with the federal government. They're going to kick back 80% of this to us. And they just robbed them. That's how it corrupts law enforcement and the judiciary and everything.

So you have that kind of strange situation. And then on the other hand, they're legalizing psychedelic mushrooms. They're legalizing everything else. DMT, I guess, is legal because it is a quasi-natural thing. And so now there's a startup. This was reported in Futurism. There's a startup that is trying to test whether or not people on DMT experience a shared alien universe. They call it the God Molecule.

And you have people who are into psychedelics, mushrooms, and DMT, and other things. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival

we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on a selected race that's how we celebrate the biggest week

In other words, they're having these wild hallucinations, but they're very, very similar to each other. And what they're describing here is very similar to, I know a person who took it. And he said he took it once. And he says the scariest thing in his life. He said he actually believed that he went to another place, and it was like hell. He said, maybe I went to hell. Maybe I met demons. I don't know.

He said it's the scariest thing I've ever had in my life. You know, we use the term pharmakia, and that is translated throughout the Bible, the Greek word pharmakia is translated as sorcery. Drugs, hallucinogenic drugs, were always a part of religions outside of Judaism and Christianity. And so it was translated as sorcery or the occult in many cases, but I mean, it means drugs. And so we could look at this as a pharmaceutical companies, pharmakia, but also these types of drugs that connect us to perhaps spiritual world.

I'm not going to stand on that, but that is a definite possibility. I tell you, my friend really thought that was the case. A gateway to the occult. And I do believe that there is a supernatural world out there that is parallel to ours. And I'm not going to get into that in a lot of detail. But suffice to say, because these vivid, very, very vivid hallucinations are similar to all these people. This startup, they call themselves Psychonauts. Not nuts, but knots, as in an astronaut.

Now, a new extended state version of the powerful drug may help Psychonauts stay there longer than ever before. Among their eccentric goals, to see and to document whether people are actually entering a shared alternate dimension when they take the stuff. And I'll just say, you know, we have four dimensions, space and time. And many people have posited, many mathematicians. And even before that, some Hebrew theologians have posited that there were, I think, 11 dimensions or something like that. That would explain a lot of things with UFOs.

It would explain some of the aspects of Jesus' spiritual body after the resurrection, being both tangible and physical, but then also being able to just disappear or reappear other places, if you have different dimensions. And I'm not going to get any more into it than that. That's very speculative. But the Colorado-based psychedelic startup called Medicinal Mindfulness is seeking approval from the FDA to study what it calls DMTX, an extended state intravenous drip version of DMT that will induce in users trips that are far longer

than the roughly five to ten minute experiences the drug typically provides. So instead of a five or ten minute trip, which my friend thought lasted for eternity, I guess that's the scariest thing he's ever gone through. Those who have taken it often experience variations on the same theme, entering what seems to be another plane or dimension replete with its own ethereal beings that they sometimes refer to as machine elves. Well, he thought they were demons. But they have a relatively short period of time, you know, five or 10 minutes. So they want to put these people on an IV drop so they can stay there.

They said the relatively short trip length means that any contact people claim to have with these beings tends to not last too long. Confusingly, however, aficionados frequently report that those short trips feel like hours. What is going on here? You know, we talk about the war on drugs. It is really people who are trying to escape reality, right? And Yuval Harari has said, we want to get people out of reality because if you're grounded in reality, you're a threat to them.

If they can get you playing games, if they can get you hanging out in a virtual universe, if they can get you taking drugs, if they can get you taking drugs and going to another universe or whatever, anything that they can do to take you out of reality, they will do it. And so I would suspect that they will probably get that permission from the FDA because that aligns with their agenda. But the saddest thing is that people are looking for some meaning outside of their life. And as I said before, when you look at the opioid situation, you've got a lot of people who were deceived into that.

They were not looking for a high, like a lot of people who get abducted to a lot of recreational drugs are. And it's not that I don't have any sympathy for them. You know, they foolishly think that they can think that they can dip their toe in the water and they're not going to drown, and before you know it, they do. I was told when I was a kid, the pastor would say, yeah, first the man takes a drink, then the drink takes a drink, then the drink takes a man.

And I talked last night about how in my life, uh, I didn't know anybody except some distant relatives that were intermarried that had problems with alcohol, fortunately. But, um, uh, the thing that really made the biggest difference for me was a movie, the days of wine and roses with a Jack lemon and a Lee Remick. Uh, that was a movie, The Days of Wine and Roses, with Jack Lemmon and Lee Remick. That was a very powerful narrative of how people, you know, I'm just going to have a good time, and they get trapped into this thing. And alcohol is very addictive. Before they had these more intensified things of marijuana and fentanyl and, you know, things like that that have come along. But I remember when I was first looking at this about 30 years ago,

the people who would rate the addictive qualities of different drugs rated alcohol more addictive than heroin or cocaine. So it is highly addictive. And I want to play for you. I played this last night. This is Anthony Hopkins put this out around New Year's because a lot of people are out around New Year's because a lot of people are drinking around New Year's. And he talked about his, I think it's 47 years of sobriety

after nearly succumbing to alcohol addiction. Anthony Hopkins. Hello, everyone. I just want to wish everyone a happy New Year and also to say I'm celebrating 47 years today of sobriety. But this is a message not meant to be heavy but I hope helpful. I am a recovering alcoholic and to you out there I know there are people struggling in this day and age of cancel and hatred and non-compromise, children being bullied. I say to this be kind to yourself, be kind. Stay out of the circle of toxicity with people if they offend you. Live your life. Be proud of your life. 47 years ago I was in a desperate situation, in despair, and probably not long to live. And I just happened to acknowledge one day that there was something really wrong with me.

But I didn't realise that it was a kind of condition, mental, physical, emotional condition called alcoholism or addiction. I'm not an expert on drugs, I'm not an expert on anything. I know nothing, except I have found a life where no one bullies me. I want to say to all you young people who are being bullied take heed you be proud of yourself don't listen to them don't let yourself be put down. Depression is part of being alive sometimes anxiety life is tough but if you need help with any addiction or problem talk to someone talk to someone you respect but there's a counselor or to go to a 12-step program the 12-step programs all over

the world every city every small city, every community, 12-step programs that can help you identify what you are. It doesn't cost a thing, but it will give you a whole new life. I'm not a do-gooder, or I'm an old sinner like everyone, but all I can say is I have the best life I can even imagine. And I can't even take credit for it. So wherever you are, get help. Don't be ashamed. Be proud of yourselves. Whatever you do, don't let anyone put you down. Don't let anyone put you down. If you're going to be angry, be angry at that. Don't let anyone put you down. Celebrate yourself, as I do myself, although I know nothing.

Lots of love to you all. Thank you. Well, that's a very important message, and I do appreciate him doing that. And of course, he's afraid, working there in Hollywood, he's afraid to take a stand about something. He keeps saying, I know nothing, I know nothing. This is just what has happened to me. Let me share that with you. This is my truth type of thing.

Well, there is an absolute truth. At LiveScoreBet, we love Cheltenham just as much as we love football. The excitement, the roar, and the chance to reward you.

And there is a, you know, he says, get some counseling. There is a wonderful counselor, Almighty God, Prince of Peace. And Christ can make all the difference in your life with that. But he offers you something else. Not just fixing things in this life, but an eternal life. And something that is not going to be what these people are trying to trip into. Let me share with you the life of James Clerk Maxwell. Does that ring a bell? Yeah, as part of electrical engineering curriculum, Maxwell's equations were very important. He is foundational to physics.

As this article says, most people know the names of Albert Einstein or they know the name of Isaac Newton. But James Clerk Maxwell is somebody who is really right up there with him and just as important. As a matter of fact, Maxwell's equations allow people to understand in the middle of the 1800s that electricity and magnetism could be converted back and forth and how they were related to each other. And that's the basis of what we do with motors and generators and so many things that we have in our society now. The understanding that these two different phenomenons, electricity and magnetism, and how they're interrelated. And because of that, Albert Einstein believed that he could find a unified field theory.

And so he spent a great deal of his time, even though he had a productive career, he was never able to find a key to relate weak nuclear forces and strong nuclear forces and electricity and magnetism and gravity and all these different things. He's not able to find a way to relate all those the way that Maxwell was. And Maxwell was a very strong Christian. As a matter of fact, his Christianity underscored everything they did in the same way that Isaac Newton did. They believed that they were looking at an ordered universe that was created by an intelligence, and it was their privilege and their duty to try to understand that better. Isaac Newton was able to, with his calculus and physics,

was able to predict the tides and things like that. So James Clerk Maxwell, born in Scotland in 1831, went to university at the age of 16. The people didn't waste their life like we do today. I mean, we waste so much. You go out back and you look at the people who were major contributors, whether the field is science or whether it was people who were famous as admirals or something, they would typically be doing very significant things in their early teens. And so he goes to university at age 16.

He didn't find his studies demanding. So he started doing things in spare time, self-constructed chemical, electrical, and magnetic devices, especially with polarized prisms and gelatins. Now we're talking about, you know, 1847, he's doing that. This work led to two scientific papers, which he completed by the age of 18. In 1850, Maxwell went to the University of Cambridge. While there, he underwent an evangelical conversion. He remained an evangelical Presbyterian for the rest of his life, eventually becoming an elder in the church of Scotland when, uh, the, um, uh, the Presbyterians were,

uh, what we would call today, fundamentalist, uh, taking the Bible literally. He graduated from Trinity college in 1854 as one of the top two mathematicians. Although he was made a fellow of Trinity in 1855, he accepted a professorship at Aberdeen, and while there, he won the Adams Prize from King's College, Cambridge, for demonstrating that Saturn's rings could be neither solid nor liquid, but rather made of smaller particles that orbited Saturn independently. In the 1980s, a spacecraft voyager confirmed this theory in a flyby of Saturn. In 1860, he went to King's College before moving on to Cambridge. Soon his work changed the field of physics. Now he's 40 years old. He describes electromagnetic behavior as the two are related to each other. That work was later simplified into four partial

differential equations that paved the way for Einstein's theory of special relativity. He also produced the first light-fast color photograph, 1861. And he proposed a system for defining physical quantities, which today is known as dimensional analysis. But his faith was very important to his understanding of science, and it put him at odds with most of his contemporaries. The dominant philosophy of the day among scientists was positivism, which taught that the only foundation for knowledge was empirical observation and logical and mathematical analysis of those observations. This means that intuition, introspection, revelation, and tradition are not valid ways of finding truth.

Therefore, they said the authority of the Bible must be rejected, along with claims to miracles and divine interventions of any sort. This was the overriding view in Germany as they got into what they called higher criticism. We have a higher standard because everything that we do is based upon empirical observation. Science is above everything. I mean, real science, not the Fauci pronunciation. What Fauci is doing is not even scientific method. It's not based on empirical observation.

He doesn't want to do any tests. He doesn't want you to see what's going on. It's just the raw exercise of authority and power. Now, it's not real science. This is a time when people are really concerned about truth. What is truth? And they were going to fight over it. What is the basis of truth?

How do we determine truth? We know that there is a truth. Let's find it. Today, everybody in postmodernism, everybody says there is no such thing as truth i've got a truth you've got a truth i know nothing but let me just tell you this is my truth that's what's gotten us to the transgender issue that's what's going to take us into transhumanism the idea that there is no absolute value there's no absolute truth, that we can't understand objectively anything.

It's just feelings. But anyway, the authority of the Bible, they said, must be rejected along with any claims to miracles or divine interventions of any sort. Thomas Jefferson was of that mind as well. He cut out anything that he thought was, anything that was supernatural in the Bible. He cut it out because he was looking for the morality without Christ. Sad to say.

Anyway, Maxwell, however, rejected positivism. He said it was reductionistic and presumptuous. He firmly believed when the scriptures had decidedly mystical streak to his Christian life that he rarely discussed. To Maxwell, science itself was a profoundly religious endeavor. Among the daily prayers he repeated was this one,

Teach us to study the work of thy hands, that we may subdue the earth to our uses, and strengthen our reason for thy service, and so rescue your blessed word, that we may believe on him who you have sent to give us the knowledge of salvation and the remission of our sins. He said, I think that men of science, as well as other men, need to learn from Christ, and I think that Christians whose minds are scientific

are bound to study science, that this view of the glory of God may be an extensive, may be as extensive as their being is capable of. Now, he only lived to the age of 48, died of stomach cancer. Very painful death, by the way. Despite a short life, physics classify his work along with Einstein and Newton. In advancing our knowledge about God's world, Maxwell understood. He was performing the work of the kingdom of heaven with an expectation that would lead people to glorify God and fulfill his purposes for the world. Today we see that when we look inside of our bodies.

And we see the design and the DNA. And we see machines within machines within machines within machines. And we understand that there's an intelligence there. And both he and Isaac Newton plumbed the depths of the bible because they knew that there was a designer god and as they investigated the bible they knew that he at live score bet we love cheltenham just as much as we love football the excitement the roar and the chance to reward you that's why every day of the festival we're giving new members money back as a free sports bet up to 10 euro if your horse loses on

Terima kasih telah menonton! you're listening to the david knight show well as we all know today is the two-year anniversary of january the 6th and um a day that will live in infamy for many different reasons

to both sides and so sunny hostin um who have the view and Adam Schiff on yesterday. And so this is going to be, tomorrow is going to be, meaning today, is going to be the second anniversary of the Capitol insurrection, as you referenced. You and your colleagues

on the January 6th committee have wrapped up your 18-month investigation. I don't think so. I think they just, I think they got wrapped up because they lost the majority. They keep this thing going. If they could, you've released your final report and you've issued four criminal referrals to, for president Trump. What happens now?

Do you believe that Trump will ultimately go to prison? What about his enablers? Many of whom defied your subpoenas? And he goes on to, you know, this is the significant thing he has to say. A lot of insignificant things come from Adam Schiff. This is what I think is significant. Well, we can't say that presidents are somehow immune from liability, immune from responsibility and justice because it would be controversial. The founders would have never subscribed to that kind of dangerous proposition. So the founders would want Trump prosecuted, according to Adam Schiff.

Meanwhile, this is the same Adam Schiff who wanted Twitter, demanded Twitter, censor a journalist, who revealed that Adam Schiff was lying to people. It's pretty amazing to see this picture of Adam Schiff. Every time you see this guy, pull that picture up if you can. Every time you see this guy, he looks like he's just swallowed a fly. His eyes are bugging out. And this picture of him that they've got on breitbart uh he's got a uh mask gagging his mouth there i don't know what this guy swallowed uh but he always looks like

that now you know the kind of person you want to talk about what the founders would have done to somebody he's always looking a little shifty that's right adam shifty yeah uh but somewhere his his appearance is somewhere between shifty and alarmed and freaking out but um yeah the uh somebody who criminalizes free speech somebody who censors speech well we know what the founders would have done. They would have run him out of Washington on a rail or worse. Because we know what they did to the other people who tried to take away their God-given rights. He pressured Twitter to censor the account of Paul Sperry,

an investigative journalist who first published the name of the so-called impeachment whistleblower, quote-unquote in september 2019 schiff announced that his committee had reached an agreement with the whistleblower who allegedly filed a complaint about trump's july 2019 phone call with president zielinski of ukraine so the ukrainians have been tied in with the DNC and the Obama administration and Biden for the longest time in so many different ways. And that's really where all this mythology about Russia came from. But the real collusion was between the Democrats and Ukraine,

not between Trump and Russia. But Schiff never produced the whistleblower, later claimed falsely that the whistleblower had a right to anonymity. Unlike you. They want to know a thing about you. Schiff also lied about his contact with the whistleblower, first claiming that his committee had never spoken to him,

or her, then admitting after a New York Times report to the contrary that they had done so. Later, the journalist Sperry published an article at Real Clear Investigations identifying the whistleblower as CIA analyst named Eric Ciamorella, who had worked at the Trump White House before returning to the CIA. Sperry also published other articles identifying leaks between Schiff's committee and aides who had worked at the Trump White House and who had been holdovers from the Obama administration.

As many people have said, personnel is not Trump's strong point. Even when he replaces the holdovers, he puts in the people that for whatever reason, you know, they are globalists. That might tell you something about Trump, but no, he's got it under control. He's the guy who's going to save us. The media and the tech industry suppressed the name of the whistleblower. Schiff refused to allow Republicans to ask questions about the whistleblower during the impeachment investigation. Even Chief Justice John Roberts played along. Really?

John Roberts? The guy who I think leaked the Dobbs decision and did so many other things? I mean, you just go back and you look at the Obamacare decision. He wrote both the concurring, the lead opinion and the dissenting opinion. Certainly did look like he had been blackmailed because everybody had been talking about how the decision was going to go against Obamacare. And at the last minute, he writes another decision contradicting himself. Why did he do that?

Anyway, John Roberts played along. He censored a question from Rand Paul during the Senate impeachment trial about the whistleblower. On Tuesday, in the latest installment of the Twitter files, Matt Taibbi produced email evidence showing that Schiff's office had asked Twitter, in writing, to censor Sperry after the November 2020 election. Claiming without evidence that Sperry had spread QAnon conspiracies on the platform. Sperry told the New York Post Tuesday that Schiff's claims were false, that he had never promoted QAnon. He said, I've never promoted any QAnon conspiracies ever, not on Twitter, not anywhere.

Schiff was angry that I outed his impeachment whistleblower and tried to get me banned. I challenged Schiff to produce evidence to back up his defamatory remarks to Twitter. He also said, this is a scurrilous smear, but it is par for the course for the unscrupulous chairman Schiff. Well,

you know, that's the reality of what is happening. So we still have people who are in jail without a trial, people who have been given excessive punishment, people who have been tortured a great deal this time. And, of course, Trump has abandoned them. The Republicans have abandoned them. They want to save themselves.

They're afraid that if they stand on principle against these abuses of due process and the Constitution, that they'll come after them. That's the stage of where we are right now. That's the takeaway, I think, from January 6th, that our government has become so corrupt that everybody's afraid to challenge it. People are afraid to challenge their narrative about anything. January the 6th, the vaccines, climate, any of this stuff. You challenge their narrative on anything, they will try to destroy you, and they're getting pretty good at it.

They can purge you out of the financial system. They can purge you out of media. They can purge you out of being a doctor or a lawyer or anything else if you come against them. And so everybody's like, oh, I'm not going to oppose this. That's where we are right now.

Where our institutions, that's why we're in a fourth turning right now. Institutions, human institutions have a lifespan of about 70 or 80 years. They become so hopelessly corrupt. That's why you have these fourth turnings. And it's a generational thing. And that's the real reality of this.

The amazing thing to me was, you know, James Bovard is going to be coming up at the top of the next hour. And I love the title of one of his books. He's written a lot of books. One of his books is Attention Deficit Democracy. When January 6th and all the Save America and Stop the Steal stuff and all that stuff was happening, it was just amazing to me that people could not understand what had been happening for the entire year. They couldn't understand how they'd been betrayed by the Trump executive order on March the 13th. They couldn't understand that the lockdowns and Trump playing along with all of these lockdown rituals and mask rituals and social distancing. And we can't have rallies and we can't even go vote in public.

We've got to do it by mail. And he didn't resist that. He played along with the fraud. He propagated the fraud besides creating this depopulation genetic code injection, bioweapon. Total betrayal. And it was such a betrayal. I was saying, why is anybody complaining about this election?

This election was run under rules that were imposed by Donald Trump. Are you not paying attention? Attention deficit democracy was what was behind January the 6th. I got fired for telling people that it was a useless exercise. At the time, it was December 13th, I think it was, 13th or 14th, Monday. And I said, okay, it was the day that, the Monday that all the different electoral colleges had sent in their votes. And I said, okay, it's over, right? This is what could have done. They could have done this, but they didn't do it.

And so there isn't any point in proceeding with this, but of course, it was a very big fundraiser for Alex and he simply could not afford to keep me around. That's the way he put it. He was right about that because it was going to cost him. If I'm on his broadcast opposing what he's doing and calling it a grift, which I did there, that was going to keep him from grifting people. He'd had a record year, we now know for a fact. I knew it because I was there, but now you've seen from the lawsuits,

you know how much money he made. But it was a record year and he wanted even more. But there was absolutely nothing that could be accomplished on January the 6th. And I warned people about that. And on January the 6th, two years ago on this program, which thanks to the people who supported me, were able to continue the program. We only missed that Friday and we continued it on the following Monday. But I was still telling people, don't go. It's a trap. This is why when I look at all the stuff about, oh, the FBI did this and they did that, we knew all of that stuff. And I told people on the morning of January the 6th, before all this stuff happened, I said, you're not going to be able to accomplish anything and if you want to

know what the real problem is we just had it was that was a wednesday on january the 5th they had had the runoff elections in georgia and they ran them under the same rules the mail-in ballots now you know nobody was wearing a mask when they went to January the 6th, right? And that was, you know, people didn't believe that. Well, if they didn't believe that, why were they there cheering Trump along who had pushed it, right? Why are you saying that our salvation depends on the guy who pushed the mail-in elections and the lockdown and the vaccine and all the rest of the stuff.

When you obviously don't believe that. Look at the pictures. I don't see anybody wearing masks. So they went ahead and did that. And I told them, I said, there's going to be agent provocateurs there. I said it that morning. But I said, just look at what happened. You lost the Senate.

Because everybody was talking about an impossible, something that they didn't even try, which is to try to go to the Republican legislatures and the four states where it was a razor thin majority to go to them and have the legislature send a different slate of electors and was coming from the board of elections. They didn't do that. Thomas Massey pointed that out. He said, if they would send us another slate of electors, we could have chosen between those, and then it would have gone back to the courts,

and the courts would have said, well, who gets to send the slate of electors? Is it the state legislature, or is it the governor, the state board of elections? And they would have had a pretty good case that it would be the state legislature. But that would have given them what they wanted on January

the 6th, and that is another review of that and a deeper review of the fraud. But they never made the case to the state legislatures. So it was a given that it was going to be rigged and now you've got all these people that are,

well, let's look at the pipe bomb, let's look at Ray Epps, let's look at all this stuff. It's like, this is old news. You knew this kind of, the details of that really don't matter. You should have stayed away. It was an obvious setup. And Trump was an obvious setup. Trump was an obvious Benedict Donald.

He betrayed us in every way. And these idiots went there to support him. Just so bad. But it doesn't justify what has been done to them. It doesn't justify it. Some people got violent. The violent people need to be punished. But even the punishment that the violent people have gotten

is going to be far and away excessive. I mean, you're talking about, you know, you look at these sedition convictions, there's people that haven't been sentenced yet, they're looking at 20 to 40 years. That's insane. This is not an insurrection. It was a stupid protest where some provocateurs and other people got violent, but the vast majority of the people did not. But anyway, man accused of,

accuses cops of throwing him into jail based on false facial recognition match. That's one of the things I want to talk to James Bovard about because he's written about this recently, the danger of these biometrics. And I talked within the last couple of days about how in America they're already running tests on babies. They want to get biometric data from babies

when they're just days old. They got 500 Mexican kids, and then they took biometric measurements from them, waited until they got older, and then looked to see how accurately they could identify them with those biometric biometric data that they took, um, when they were just days old, they found that the biometric data that they got at three days was 77% accurate.

Much later years later, I don't, they didn't say in the study how long they compared that. But if they got the biometric data when the child was four days old, the accuracy went from 77% to 96%. They want to get us in a biometric database from birth. So in November, local cops threw Randall Reed, a 28-year-old black man living in Georgia, in jail for nearly a week for allegedly stealing expensive purses from a boutique store all the way in a New Orleans suburb in Louisiana. The basis for the arrest was a facial recognition tool that falsely matched him as the suspect. This is very similar to the geofence warrants that they're doing as well. This also ties in with January the 6th.

Looking at cell phones, looking to see anybody who was in Washington, anybody that was in this particular area here or there, they get SWAT teamed, get arrested, whatever. The technology is putting out a very broad dra drag net and pulling in a lot of people who didn't do anything. Didn't do anything wrong on the basis of that. Tuttle, buttle, tuttle, buttle. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, the basis of going back to 1984. Terry Gilliam with, you know, he did all the animation.

He's the American guy with Montyty Python did all the animations for them. He did his, uh, dark comedy version of 1984 and that's it. You know, the very beginning of the movie, they're looking for a guy who was Tuttle or buttle and, uh, they've got all this creaky old technology, but, uh, hardcore authoritarian, uh, society and, uh, a fly drops into the typewriter and it changes it from bottle to total or vice versa and then they do this no knock SWAT team raid which when I saw it in 1984 it was just over the top satire but it's reality now hey there you go good he's got the Brazil trailer there. One of my favorite movies. Have you ever warmed up to that, Travis? Okay. My family used to hate this. It's very dark, but it is so spot on. And the bizarre is about surveilling everybody and they've got this

creaky old technology instead of having larger screen tvs they get fresnel lenses and put them in front of them to magnify i mean that type of thing but um yeah that's where we are right now so they they take these geofence warrants so they take the biometric facial things and they use that at, they take it, as they say in this article, they take the algorithm at face value. Did they intend to have a pun with that? I don't know. Facial scan is taken at face value. Proponents of facial recognition software maintain that it's merely a tool that will help them to identify potential suspects rather than being the sole evidence used in an arrest but reed's case makes the text potential for abuse abundantly

clear they will always say this is an investigative lead says a director of the aclu in louisiana this is coming from futurism so they are still laboring under the idea that the ACLU is about individual liberty, which they're not. But it's significant that this took place in Louisiana. They have been one of the earliest adopters. I think James Carville has got some stock in this surveillance database that is created there. So again, it's another private-public partnership to enslave us. It's part of this high-tech slavery. The government likes this a great deal, and they've been pioneers in doing this in Louisiana.

Reed will not be the last. Evan Selinger of the Surveillance Technology Oversight Project told Gizmodo, and of course the acronym for that is STOP. When there is a political need to be seen as committed to a decisive action, high-tech options, even deeply flawed and highly controversial ones, can have good short-term optics. Well, did these people say that about January 6th people who were caught up in these geofence warrants or other things like that?

6G is coming. And you know what they're going to do with 6G? They're going to use humans as the power source. Oh, well, what else could go wrong with this, right? Are we going to be back into the matrix? 6G could end up using people as antennas. 6G telecommunications could possibly take advantage of visible light communication, VLC, which is a wireless version of fiber optics.

University of Massachusetts Amherst team says that they've created a low cost, innovative way of harvesting waste energy from VLC using the human body as an antenna. Their invention can recycle waste energy to power wearable devices and possibly larger electronics as well. They said, so what makes this light technology so appealing to wireless technology is the fact that the infrastructure to use it already exists. Us, I guess. No, they're talking about, they said, modern technology and smart devices in our homes, our vehicles, and street lights are all lit by LED bulbs.

Now, you know, people have been talking about LED bulbs and their ability to transmit data. You know, part of that was the fact that some of these new streetlights that were LEDs had listening devices and things like that built into them. But it goes beyond that. It was a couple of weeks ago, because we've already done the interview as a part of our best of interviews. I did an interview with Amon Jabi, and he's an engineer, cameras and other things, but he was very concerned about smart cities, how this technology was rolling out. And one of the things that I got some complaints about, some people said, well, I know he said that the streetlights are capable of monitoring us. Well, here you go.

Streetlights. Anything with a camera, like our smartphones, tablets, laptops, could be the receiver. Street lights could be it. And that's what Amman Jabi was saying, or Jabby. He was spot on about that. He knows because he's working in the field and has been working in the field for quite some time.

LEDs emit side channel radio frequency signals. If scientists are able to harvest this RF energy, they can then put it to use. Researchers experimented with all sorts of surfaces and thicknesses of wire. After resetting the coil against plastic, cardboard, wood, and steel, as well as phones and other digital devices, turned on and turned off. They tried wrapping the coil around a human body. Bingo. It worked. Eureka, we found it.

Results show people are actually the best medium for amplifying the coil's ability to collect leaked RF energy. Do you remember when using humans as the battery was the plot for the matrix exactly well you know it's not really a surprise you remember the old days we had I don't know if you remember this or not Travis but because when you were growing up we were living out in the woods and we didn't have any TV reception at all I spent most of my time in the woods wandering around yeah but we had when I was going up, we're trying to get reception. And there's like two or three channels.

Maybe, if you're lucky, four. But, you know, we all know rabbit ears over the TV set. And the proverbial thing was, go and grab the rabbit ears. It looks good now. You know, and then you let go of it. Or after you reposition it, now you've lost the rabbit ears. Hey, it looks good now. And then you let go of it, or after you reposition it, now you've lost the picture again. Yeah, our bodies can act as antennas,

and that's one of the reasons why we're having health issues with EMF radiation, because we do conduct that, absorb it, and redo it. So the researchers created an inexpensive wearable device that they call bracelet plus people can wear it on their upper forearm they can even modify it to work as a ring a belt an anklet or a necklace and put it around your head for all you know you can wear it as a headband although the bracelet seems to work best for harvesting power. So it's cheap, only costs about 50 cents.

And they're going to be able to use you as a battery. Well, somebody who seems to be used as a battery or as a puppet or something. We've got Joe Biden with his latest gaffe. Here he is. The world is not a patch in our jeans. Traveled over 140 countries around the world. I'll paraphrase the phrase of my old neighborhood. The rest of the country, the world is not a patch in our jeans.

If we do what we want to do, we need to do. It's never been a good bet. What does any of that mean? When you write it down and parse it slowly, I'll paraphrase the phrase of my old neighborhood. I'll paraphrase the phrase of my old neighborhood. The rest of the countries, the world is not a patch in our jeans. If we do what we want to do, we need to do.

What's going on with this guy? I think he's been channeling this radiation for a little bit too long. Just like Patrick Henry would have said it. Truly moving and inspiring. We are an idiocracy. We're going to take a quick break. When we come back, we're going to talk about another state that is moving to make gold and silver usable as money. Stay with us.

We will be right back. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, a bill has been introduced in missouri for the 2023 legislative session uh the show me state and i guess what they're saying is show me the money jerry i i don't this paper stuff is not real money uh we want to see the real money we want to see gold and silver this is a common thread that is happening in a lot of different states. People getting very concerned about the financial system, not only the stability after what's been done for the last decades, but also, uh, what they are planning to do to it, to make it even more unstable. Uh, this is a Missouri, of course, uh, in Missouri is where Tony Arturman has a wise Wolf gold.

So kind of interesting to see if this goes through. But, you know, that would be for sales within Missouri. But Senator William Igle, Republican, filed a bill last month. The legislation would take several steps to encourage the use of gold and silver as money in Missouri, including making it legal tender, eliminating the state capital gains tax on gold and silver as money in Missouri, including making it legal tender, eliminating the state capital gains tax on gold and silver, and establishing a state bullion depository. They've already ended the sales tax on this. That's a key thing, and a lot of states have taken that step. Under the proposed law, gold and silver would be accepted as legal tender

and would be receivable in payment of all public and private debts in the state of Missouri. Missouri could become the fourth state to recognize gold and silver as legal tender. Utah was the first. Re-establishing constitutional money in 2011 wyoming and oklahoma have since done the same thing so if missouri does it that'll be four states that recognize gold and silver as legal tender which is what the constitution recognizes constitution does not recognize the private federal reserve notes as legal uh tender the uh they printed on this piece of paper, but it's not really, you know, it's acceptable as trade, but it is not real money and it is not constitutional money. The effect has been most dramatic in Utah, where United Precious Metals

Association was established after the passage of the Utah Specie Legal Tender Act and the elimination of all taxes on gold and silver. UPMA offers accounts denominated in U.S. minted gold and silver dollars, and the company was also instrumental in the development of the Utah Gold Back, described as the first local voluntary currency to be made of a spendable, beautiful physical gold. The legislation of Missouri would also exempt the sale of gold and silver bullion from the state's capital gains taxes.

Missouri is already one of 41 States that do not levy sales tax on gold and silver bullion. So, um, again, uh, they would, um, be setting up a, uh, bullion depository in the state, which is something that so far, I believe Texas is the only place that does that. When I was talking to Senator nicely, um, you have, um, Texas is the only one that's got a bullion depository and, um, North Dakota was the only one that has a state bank and their efforts in Tennessee to try to establish

both of those. As a matter of fact, there's already a state bank in a sense, but they want to make it, you know, more practical and expand its scope and that type of thing. Ron Paul has said during testimony, paper is not money, it's fraud. That's exactly right. It is, you know, as long as everybody plays along with the game, we can pretend that it's like it's a Looney Tunes cartoon. You can run on thin air for a while,

and eventually somebody is going to realize that they're on thin air, and then they're going to go straight down. But the bill would also establish a state bullion depository that would not only create a safe place to store precious metals but it also has the potential to facilitate the everyday use of gold and silver in financial transactions in missouri because it would establish a mechanism for individuals to engage in transactions using precious metals, including gold and silver. So I don't know that the one in Texas has that capability. Because this bill in Missouri, you would be able to deposit gold or silver and then pay people through electronic means or by checks. I'm not sure if that's the case in Texas or not,

but that's exactly what is needed. And you understand as we're getting close to, you know, these uncertain situations, people are looking, are we going to have a recession? Is it going to become a depression? Is it going to be a greater depression than we had before?

A lot of uncertainty about that. And back during the depression, we had, in the 1930s, we had a lot of localities that were working on their own local currency. And they did it in a lot of different formats. Some of them, they still have as museum pieces, some machines that they use to coin wooden coins even, wooden nickel or whatever. But they did that locally. Some people set up script where you could barter locally with local businesses would accept that within a town

there have been attempts to do that i think there was one attempt to do that in north carolina that the feds got involved in so you know you're coining money or whatever but that is going to happen out of necessity if we have a big financial crisis that that type of thing will happen. And so it's important. Some people are seeing this, understanding what is going on at the state level, like Senator Nicely, like this Senator in Missouri who put this in. We need to have state banks. We need to have depositories where we can write checks and other things on that because you look at the Depression,

the North Dakota State Bank was established before the Depression. They were able to pay the teachers there in whole, whereas in most states, for example, the teachers only got a fraction of what their salary was supposed to be. They gave them essentially a kind of script or something. So the state bank has helped smaller banks to survive and thrive in North Dakota. The whole point of the central bank digital currency and the Marxists who want centralized command control economy is to eliminate all local banks, all credit unions,

and have everybody under the private Federal Reserve directly so they can control our money, so they can confiscate our money, so they can tell us what we can and cannot buy, where we can and cannot go, all of the rest of this stuff. In a Swiss city of Luzon, they have been working with the plan. I'm sorry, not Luzon. It's Lugano. They have what they call the Plan B Foundation, but they do the B with a couple of vertical lines to it, so it's kind of like a Bitcoin.

And they've been working to set up Bitcoin as the local exchange. So, again, if people could use local printed script, paper, or if they could use wooden coins, they're doing the same thing in Lugano, Switzerland, on Bitcoin. And so they created this thing, the Plan B Foundation. It's a city initiative designed in collaboration with Tether to attract wealth, smart minds, and opportunities. Part of this plan involved Lugano making Bitcoin a de facto legal tender, which was announced in March of 2022. The Plan B Foundation confirmed on Twitter that visitors and residents alike can pay with Bitcoin

for food drinks art fashion jewelry cars watches tattoos real estate municipal taxes and services and so much more so we have the ability if we want to to opt out of these systems even though there's things like the you know we're talking about the using the human body as an antenna for 6g and all the rest of this stuff, even though they passed the Telecommunications Act in 1996 and said, you will not have any say-so as to where we put antennas for cell phone service due to health issues. You can object to it on aesthetics but not on the basis of health is that amazing 1996 and ten years after Fauci and his people got

complete immunity for the pharmaceutical industry Clinton and his people wanted to get immunity for the telecommunications industry immunity from any kind of control or concerns for health. And, but the reality is, is that some people, you know, cancer clusters that came about because they put a cluster of antennas at a school in New York, they would take them to court, even though they might lose. Some of the jurisdictions have come back in and said, I don't really care what you say with the 1996 Telecommunications Act. You're going to move these antennas away from us. We don't want them in close proximity to kids or to other things like that.

So you don't have to follow that. They don't have the authority to do anything about that. Going back to the war on drugs, just take a look at Jeff Sessions as attorney general, how he wanted to shut down the states that had legalized marijuana, medical or otherwise. He was really upset about that, but he never did it in a direct way. He did not want to have a direct challenge because he knew he would lose. And that would be an even bigger defeat because it would destroy so much of their presumed authority for so many things. But it would have, if he had challenged the states on medical marijuana even, that would have destroyed the presumed legal basis for the entire war on drugs.

So he wasn't going to do that. And there's many other ways that we could make that point. So we have the constitutional authority for a lot of these things. That's why you got people saying we're not going to allow these executive orders on gun control or other things like that. You can prevail. Other people have done that in spite of laws and pronouncements and edicts and executive orders. The Constitution is still there. And where the rubber meets the road is at the local level. And so that's why this is important in Switzerland for people to get together and say, well, we're

going to set, I don't care what it is, gold, silver, Bitcoin, anything that they can set up and set this up at a local level. The problem for them is, as I point out, as Bitcoin ecosystem grows, various jurisdictions will continue to vie for the business of Bitcoiners and Bitcoin companies. This can be seen in examples like Lugano, Switzerland, as well as that of Madeira, Bitcoin Beach, and several others. But the problem is going to be energy and the climate MacGuffin that is being used to take energy away from us.

They want to try to shut down Bitcoin by claiming that it's going to be dirty. And we've got to take this away as I've been talking about. And that is going to be the problem from the Bitcoin perspective. We're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, I want to talk about what is happening with the Consumer Electronics Show. I think it's significant. This is the first time.

Consumer Electronics Show would always take place in Vegas every year at the beginning of the year. It hasn't happened now for a couple of years, so this is the first time it's really been back. And I want to talk to you about what people are showing there at the show. We'll be right back. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show.

For years, Eric Peters and I have been talking about how cars have become gadgets, electronic gadgets, increasingly so. And I think it was the final consumer electronics show that was in 2019 before the world went mad. And our officials became dictators. It was the key thing at the consumer electronics show. And it is again this year, now that they're finally back again. And what's interesting is that you're now seeing the, you know, it's kind of the gamification of cars and that type of stuff and now you've got consumer electronics biggies like sony and uh apple has announced that they're going to do their own car but sony is now in partnership with honda and they've come up with a a car that

they're going to offer in partnership i mean they're not just adding electronic systems and entertainment systems to a Honda car. The two of them have kind of merged in this. They call their car the Ophelia. I feel it. And that's what they're trying to do. They're trying to make this visceral and emotional. That is the trend. And, um, they say, uh, Sony has said that it will be kitted out with artificial intelligence. Is that a pun as well? You know, we talked about them taking biometric facial scans at face value.

Well, you know, this is sounding like kit and Knight rider. So it's been kitted out with artificial intelligence, entertainment systems, virtual reality, and augmented reality. That's exactly what I want in my car.

Um, if I want to augment reality, what I do is I roll the windows down and take the top down so I can smell the cut grass or the dead skunks or whatever else. I mean, it's a CEO of Sony and Honda mobility. This is what they call the new company, a mobility company. You notice? They don't have car companies anymore. Ford is now a mobility company. They don't want to sell you a car.

They don't want to lease you a car. They want to rent it by the ride. That's where they're really going, the Afila. So Sony's sensors, Honda's safety, along with other intelligent technologies is how they're selling this thing. And then, of course, and it's coming pretty quickly. They're going to start taking pre-orders in 2025, two years away from now. They say they're going to deliver the first cars in the spring of 2026.

And I would take this a little bit more seriously than I would some of the deadlines coming from Elon Musk. He's oversold a lot of these things. But we're talking about Sony and Honda. They've got a lot of experience in manufacturing this. It'll have automated features with a particular focus on urban driving because they're going to lock us all up in cities. That's their intention.

15-minute cities, we rent it by the ride. One of the most interesting features is that the car has an exterior bar at the front of the car to share information with other drivers. What do you need that for? The media bar uses intelligent mobility to communicate to others using light-enabling interactive communication between mobility and people. This is how they identify.

Oh, look, it's opening the door by itself. You're getting into it. It's got a steering wheel, which is not practical, but it's just for show. You know, kind of a U-shaped steering wheel instead of a round one. So, you know, try to do some real fast turns with a steering wheel that's not round. See what you get. Anyway, showing what the weather was, what the charging of the EV was, and a Spider-Man design.

So you can project all this kind of stuff everywhere that you want. It can drive itself and take you straight to the prison camp there, I guess. I don't know what that bar really is. Oh, there you go. Light show. They're using light on these electronic vehicles the way they did Chrome when I was a kid.

Light is the new Chrome. The car has 45 cameras and sensors inside and outside the vehicle. Well, I guess it's going to be pretty expensive, and it's going to be watching everything that you do and reporting it to somebody, right? Uh, that's kind of creepy. 45 cameras inside and outside. Uh, so, um, it'll offer Sony movies, games, and titles because you won't be

driving this thing for the most part. Uh, it'll be taking you around, and they're just finding something that they can distract you with. And then BMW was at the Consumer Electronics Show. They had Arnold Schwarzenegger taking to the stage for the keynote, and BMW has finally put their finger on what everybody has always wanted in a car, a car that changes colors. Seriously, they put all of this technology and expense into a car so that it can, it's electronic

ink. It's on the surface. Now, can you imagine if you get, um, in an accident, uh, you just total that car. Uh, you're not going to take it down to a body shop and they're going to pound that out for you, right? If it's got all over it, look at that. Uh, who wants that? I just don't understand, but they got the perfect spokesman for it. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a man who is constantly changing colors and sides, you know, he goes from blue to red and then back to blue again in politics. Color-changing car sold to you by a vacillating politician and actor. 32 colors including purple, pink, yellow, white, and red. Are they going for the LGBT segment? Is that the whole purpose of this thing?

That last picture that showed Arnold Schwarzenegger as Zeus, and that's another commercial thing that he did for bmw they had him as zeus they call their car dee as opposed to dei diversity equity and inclusivity this is dee digital emotional experience. Uh, so, um, that's, it's all about creating a bond with the car. Oh, isn't that nice? Um, do you really, people have been bonding with their cars going back to the middle of the century when they had an emotional quality to it. I don't know that having all of these colors all over the thing is really going to bond it with you. But anyway,

uh, it also talks. We're getting back to Knight Rider, aren't we? The talking D that, that you could bring all of your friends into your car virtually, you know, cause you don't want them in the car with you actually,

right? Your friends, your family, even your pets without a single animal hair on the seat and without any of that covid stuff lying around between all of you right so all this is about isolating us and and having us completely disconnected from reality and humanity except through their tech portal even in a car a person said so this is the car saying this um uh you can bring all your friends along with you even your pets without a single hair on their which i absolutely love in an endless virtual

world said the car you can meet play talk love. You can even go sightseeing together right inside your car. You wouldn't believe what fits in your car in the future. It's like being in your own personal drive-in cinema. But the movie is your life. This is the way they're gradually tapping us in. Movies have been a conduit to tap people in. But the technology is getting much more visceral, much more immersive in it. You know, the same way that people would read novels and books and it would, you know, take them, transport them into another time or place or reality.

Well, now it's getting much more visceral with that. So we're going from the movies now to this kind of virtual reality. Of course, that was all what the car was saying, selling itself. The TechCrunch who's reporting this says, of course, this would likely be in a world where the windows would be blacked out and the car is being driven autonomously by somebody else. Yeah, you say autonomously, it's not the car that's driving you around, but it is somebody else who's really doing that.

What was the thought process behind getting the Terminator to unveil the self-driving car? Yeah, exactly. Who decided that? That is constantly changing colors. They should have gotten the guy who played the chrome Terminator, the one that came back in Terminator 2. The T-1000.

Yeah, the T-1000, yeah. Because that's what they're really trying to go for. They're going to go shape. After the color, what's the next thing you're going to do? You're going to have a shape-shifting one. It can turn itself into make it look like a motorcycle, maybe look like that cop. Who knows?

The power of hot air. Can hydrogen solve our eco motoring troubles? You know what? We don't have any eco motoring troubles. We have problems with government. We have problems with the world economic forum. That's what's giving us trouble. It's not anything else that we're doing.

This is self-imposed. And so they're talking about various ways that hydrogen could be used. Hydrogen, you know know can be turned into liquid hydrogen porsche did that as i talked about last week um they can create a fuel that can be used in internal combustion engines very cleanly and of course the other thing that you can do with it is you can create a fuel cell with hydrogen. And a fuel cell that doesn't have any emissions that they're worried about. You know, water, vapor.

I imagine they'll criminalize water vapor. They've criminalized CO2, which is natural. CO2, which is 0.04% of the atmosphere. They've criminalized that. And said, that's all the CO2 coming out from everything. So we got to kill the cows and all the rest of the atmosphere. They've criminalized that and said, that's all the CO2 coming out from everything. So we got to kill the cows and all the rest of the stuff. And then they tell us they're worried about extinction of animals. But, you know, they've criminalized the CO2.

They criminalized nitrogen. I guess they could criminalize water vapor as well. But you could use the hydrogen, convert it to a fuel that could be used by internal combustion engines. You could also, um, use it to as a fuel cell so that you can generate electricity, uh, with setting up a generator. And again, this is the model that I think would be, uh, a good model, but it doesn't have anything to do.

We can't play the game of saying we've got to stop emissions. Uh, that is a MacGuffin. It's a fantasy. You know, we're out there hunting lions on the Scottish more because the UN and the world economic forum are telling us that there's lions on the, um, on the Scottish more and everybody's coming out. Well, I got a better way to catch a lion on the Scottish more. We've got to stop playing these fantasy games and call it for what it is.

But you know, it is a, it'd be fine to have, uh, an electric car and have all of the benefits of fast acceleration and things like that. Uh, but, um, you know, reduce the weight by having a smaller battery and putting a generator on board. And that was a tactic that GM had with a volt, but then they outlawed it because they had a generator that was internal combustion engine. And so people say, well, we could have a generator that's a fuel cell.

But the government doesn't want that. Because you have to understand this is not about emissions. This is about centralized control of everything, especially of your transportation. They want you to be forced to use the grid, the electrical grid that they're shutting down. And so they don't want to have any solutions from hydrogen or anything else. And they will not support a infrastructure for that. They will spend hundreds of billions of dollars or more to build an infrastructure for charging electric vehicles, but they're not going to give a penny for building an infrastructure

for hydrogen cars. And you can't switch over. It's a chicken and egg type of thing. So you've got a lot of companies, BMW and Hyundai and Toyota, are all looking at some way of using hydrogen so they don't have the limitations of the electric grid. But the government is standing in the way because the whole point is to get you on the electric grid. It has nothing to do with climate change or emissions or anything else. Patricia Bailey, thank you very much.

I appreciate the tip on Rockfin. Someone asked, do you watch Yellowstone, David? You know, we started watching the very first episode, and we weren't really too impressed with the morals of the young lady that they had there, so we just turned it off. So I don't watch Yellowstone. It's gotten to the point where, you know. You should just go to Yellowstone.

Exactly. I've been to Yellowstone a couple of times. I liked Yellowstone. That's a picture I took when we were in Yellowstone. Exactly. I've been to Yellowstone a couple of times. I like Yellowstone. That's a picture I took when we were in Yellowstone last time. Oh, wow. Wow. That's great. Yeah. Look at that. Yeah. Yellowstone is a great place. It's a unique place. There's only about three places on earth that have that kind of geothermal activity that I think it's three that I know of, uh, Yellowstone, uh, Iceland and, um, and New Zealand. And we've been to two of those, uh, New Zealand.

We went to Roto-Roa has some open things, but nothing compares to Yellowstone. It's in a class by itself in terms of that, because of the giant caldera that's under that area, it could take the, take America with it. If it blows up, it's, it's blows up. But it is unique, definitely unique. Just want to break in real fast. Harps tipped $5. Thank you, Harps. And he says, airships.net hydrogen airship accidents.

So it's a link. You can check that out about hydrogen and airships. Yeah, that was one of the things that they mentioned. And I don't know if they're in favor of it or not. That's one of the things that said, well, people are afraid of hydrogen because of the H that they mentioned um and i don't know if they're in favor of it or not that's one of the things that said well you people are afraid of hydrogen because of the hindenburg but um this is something that's been kicked around using hydrogen for airships and other things like that for a while and the reality is they they point out it's actually safer than gasoline because you know if gasoline is a liquid if gets ignited, that liquid stays on you and burns, right?

Whereas, you know, I remember watching a video where they had a hydrogen container and they had a flame there and had a guy at a distance and he shoots the tank and the hydrogen comes out and it catches fire, but it doesn't blow up the tank. The fire is going up, up and away because it's a gas, right? Gasoline is a liquid. And so they said, you know, it's, it's a less dangerous from that.

You know, it's interesting when you look at the Hindenburg, uh, how few people considering the, the destruction of that thing, uh, how few people died relatively, not everybody,

a lot of people escaped on that. Uh, what makes it so memorable is that live report from the, uh, I guess, as he's looking at it, he's figuring that everybody's dead. You know, that thing went up in a flash. And yet, a lot of people survived it as that happened. We're going to take a quick break. And do you have, oh, you don't have James Bovard on yet. Well, let's talk about this a little bit more.

So we have hydrogens being explored by Hyundai, by BMW. Of course, Toyota has talked about this. They understand that we don't have the mineral resources that are out there to build the batteries. It's not just an infrastructure issue, but there is no will to build an infrastructure and it's kind of a chicken or egg thing. If you can't find a way to recharge your car, why would you buy a hydrogen car? And so in the UK shell opened up a, um, uh, its first hydrogen fueling

station in 2017, but in recent months, they've closed all three of their UK locations due to lack of demand. Well, if you had three places where you could fill up or charge your car or whatever, it wouldn't be practical, right? And so nobody's going to buy a car that they can't get filled up everywhere, get recharged. So the response that they're going to have in the UK is exactly what Richard Nixon did. You know, we got a fuel crisis here. Fuel crisis is not being created by some foreign governments,

which are trying to create a cartel like it was in the 1970s. The fuel crisis is being created by the UN and all these different governments who are trying to, it's a manufactured crisis. But their response in the UK is to reduce the speed limit to 64 miles per hour. Wait a minute. I thought it was a 55 miles an hour, right? That was what we were told that you had to go 55. That was a sweet spot, wasn't it? Well, I've actually found the sweet spot in my car, you know, in Texas, they've got some pretty high speed limits. I found the sweet spot in my car was 80.

If I got a little bit faster than that, the fuel economy starts to go down. But actually I do better at 80 than I do some of the lower speeds in terms of fuel economy. So your mileage may vary. And it depends on, you know, how you drive and how your car is geared and what gear you're driving in if you're driving manually. But this is what they're saying here. They're looking at what can we do, right? The one solution that never occurs to them is, well, we could increase production. No, no, no.

We got to ration and reduce because this is a race to zero. Zero activity, zero food, zero possessions, everything zeroed out. They said other suggestions that were raised by the government was we could have everybody working from home three days a week. Or, where possible, we could incentivize walking and cycling. Now, I just told you, was it yesterday or the day before, that Klaus Schwab came out and said, we're going to ban cars everywhere.

Nobody has a right to a car. If you've got to go somewhere, you can walk or you can ride a bicycle or you can take public transportation. And then he says that, and what are all the people saying in the UK and the US? James Bogart is ready. What's that? Bogart is ready. Okay, good.

Let's go to him. The bottom line is, does he have any, uh, uh, does he have any authority to force this on people? No, but look at his influence. He just says it. And you know, they're all on the same page with this thing. Interestingly enough, they don't want you to have a vehicle. They want you walking or cycling and they're not going to increase production.

They're going to ration fuel and they're going to lower speed limits, which is a way of rationing your time. Essentially stealing time from you as they make you go slow. We'll be right back. We're going to connect with James Bovard. Stay with us. Decoding the mainstream propaganda. It's The David Knight Show. The Common Man They created Common Core to dumb down our children. The common man. They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us.

Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God. That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.

Please share the information and links you'll find at thedavidknightshow.com. Thank you for listening. Thank you for sharing. If you can't support us financially, please keep us in your prayers. TheDavidKnightShow.com Thank you. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, we are still trying to connect with Jim Bovard, and we're going to continue to try to do that. But I'm going to continue with transportation news, and we have some other news coming up as well.

Engineers are experimenting with batteries that are made using wood. And it floats, according to Monty Python. I don't know. This is futurism.com. I love their subtitle, Pulp Fiction. Maybe this is true. Maybe it isn't. But some people believe they've got something here.

Sourcing and disposing of the materials used in batteries, a VV, has rightfully raised questions over sustainability. And beyond that, it's raised a lot of questions about availability because there aren't sufficient stores of the different materials that are necessary. I talked about that yesterday. Talk about the things that are needed like cobalt and nickel and the countries that have the supplies of those and also lithium. But evidently, you know, we could do kind of what Elon Musk did. You know, he went to Germany

he was going to set up a battery factory, but it was necessary for him to first cut down an ancient forest. So they did that. They gave him the permission to do that. And he started building the factory there and then they decided that they didn't want to do that. So they abandoned it. But now I guess they got some wood that they could use and make some batteries out of that. A Finnish pulp and paper manufacturer that is also one of the world's largest owners of private forests has hired engineers to explore a solution using a polymer found in trees called lignin as a crucial battery ingredient. Now, this is coming from futurism.com.

They say most batteries can train electrodes known as cathodes and anodes. I don't know of any batteries that don't have cathodes and anodes. I mean, that's the essence of it. They just come in different forms. But I think all batteries, of course, maybe I'm wrong. I don't know. Maybe there's some battery that I the essence of it. They just come in different forms, but I think all batteries, maybe I'm wrong, I don't know. Maybe there's some battery that I've never heard of, but to me, I thought that was the essence of it.

But it is, as I point out, you know, you've got these cathodes and anodes, and they're made out of graphite. What's graphite? You know, all this panic about carbon this and carbon that. Graphite is carbon. The batteries have a carbon footprint, and it's a pretty big carbon footprint. I didn't know this, but to make synthetic graphite, they have to heat up carbon to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks at a time.

As they put, this is a very energy-intensive process. Well, that's understating it. That's one of the most energy-intensive processes I've ever seen. You've got to maintain this stuff at 5,500 degrees Fahrenheit for weeks in order to make synthetic graphite. And then they use a synthetic graphite. It's just one of the ingredients into these batteries. And they've got a strip mine.

You know, they're going to be strip mining. You look at what they're doing with cobalt, you know, putting kids into the mines to do this. It's very dirty, the mining process for these things. But anyway, that's what they've got right now. But lignin has carbon. Imagine that. Most living things have carbon. You know, we have carbon-based life forms, and there's carbon everywhere, even in trees.

So it could be used to create graphite. That's what they're trying to do. And to try to make it, shortcut it a little bit evidently if you start with lignin instead of just with carbon perhaps it is not as energy intensive as long a process as is required in order to um you know create it create synthetic graphite from just starting with carbon perhaps it short circuits that somehow in theory it would not require additional trees to be cut down a boon. So long as the company's forestry practices are as 100% sustainable as it purports them to be. Well, again, we're going to start cutting down trees in order to make electric batteries, but that's okay.

Because the objective is that we have everybody under the grid, the control grid. Better yet, Lignode Heat is the company. They claim that heating the lignin into a carbon structure like graphite requires far lower temperatures than the graphite itself, saving energy in the process. So there you go. Then have to heat it up to 5,500 degrees you know nobody ever complained about the carbon footprint of nobody ever complained

about the carbon footprint of the vaccines you got to keep those things super cold like minus 90 some odd degrees and nobody ever complained about that because it's just essential right we have to do it putin was trying to get together a christmas truce and you say well christmas has passed well not for the orthodox church the russian orthodox church the russian orthodox patriarch had called on both sides of conflict to cease hostility beginning tonight and going till tomorrow let's just have one day where we call a truce it was immediately rejected by ukraine the statement from the kremlin said a lot of citizens who practice the orthodox religion live in the embattled area we can call on the ukrainian side to proclaim a secession of

hostilities and give them the opportunity to attend services on Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day. The Orthodox Church celebrates Christmas at a different time than the rest of the world does. So Putin had discussed this with Erdogan of Turkey and of course Erdogan has tried to broker a peace agreement in the past, but Ukraine is having none of it. I guess Zelensky doesn't celebrate Christmas. He doesn't want anybody else to. They rejected this offhand. They want war, not peace. And the same thing is true of NATO and the White House.

The White House rejected this. They said this is a cynical ploy. We're talking about one day. One day. What's going to happen in one day right are they going to be able to reposition all their troops in a sneak attack in one day no no it just shows that um nato and ukraine are relentless in their pursuit of mass death they can't take one day off even to celebrate Christmas. Biden said Putin's call for a temporary Christmas ceasefire is an effort to find some oxygen.

He said, uh, quote, this is Biden. He was ready to bomb hospitals and nurseries and churches on the 25th of December and on new year's day. Uh, does Biden know that they, you know, uh, have a different Christmas day, but did Biden do anything about that?

Did Biden say, uh, if he wanted to stop this, did Biden suggest that we have a ceasefire for Christmas day or a ceasefire for New Year's day? No, he didn't. As a matter of fact, the way he acknowledged Christmas was to read a statement that did not mention the name of Jesus. That's the way that Biden celebrates. We're still trying to connect with James Bovard. So let's go to this. I've had this for a couple of days now,

kind of showing where we are as a society. DC Comics has now come out with their latest issue and actually the Joker evidently has got his own comics there. When I was a kid, during the golden age of comics, you had Batman, you had detective comics that had Batman, you had World's Finest, which was Batman and Superman. I learned how to read before I got to school, reading comic books. That's the way my mom would keep me pacified when we were taking trips. I was a very young child. It started when my grandfather was sick in the hospital and they had a newsstand down there. And that was about the only thing that could keep my attention. But I wasn't just looking at the pictures. I was

asking them, you know, what is invulnerable? What does that mean? And that actually, you know, in those days they actually had stories and they made sense and they were mysteries and they were targeted towards kids. And of course that all changed. I don't know if it was in the eighties or nineties, but, um, they started targeting college kids and they really gone down the toilet, quite frankly. And so the latest example of this is now they have given the Joker his own

comic book series because we have to celebrate villains now. Right. And now in this latest issue, the Joker is pregnant and gives birth. Yes, that's right. The people who are reviewing this are so fed up with this. This is batman-news.com. That's their beat. They hang out on DC Comics and especially Batman.

And the person who's doing this review, Teresa Campana, is just fed up. She says, yeah, this other person who works here, they just quit. They said, I don't even read these comics anymore. The Man Who Stopped Laughing, Joker issue number four. Yeah, comics are not funny anymore, are they? And they're trying to transition into this absurdity. You know what I miss, she says? The feeling that when I pick up a comic, I might get a good story.

Instead, I'm reading Joker, the man who stopped laughing, a book that continues to struggle to meet the lowest of my expectations. Good news is this issue isn't nearly as confusing as the last one. The only focus on one, they only focus on one Joker and one location. So it's easier to follow. But the bad news is that this is very much a filler issue. Nothing new about the mystery of the story is revealed.

The characters do not develop. The book is spent instead on watching various episodes unfold as a joker tries to escape a hospital to avoid the cops. And they have a series of panels here where he goes into this hospital and there's some sick kids who look like they're undergoing chemotherapy. They don't have, they've gone bald. And to give you an idea of the low level of this, the joker says to them,

you know what, he says, what's the difference between a race car and a dozen children? And they said, what? And he says, I don't have a race car buried in my backyard. That's their jokes, right? And the person doing this review said, what used to work about the Joker was, they said, these jokes are not funny.

They're just disgusting. And they don't inform the story. They have nothing to do. It's not like there's some kind of a clue to anything. Said the Joker had worked as a villain because of his darkly ironic sense of humor. The reader feels bad about it, but here the Joker comes off as brash, gross, and unintelligent. Well, because he's a reflection of the person writing the comic book. Joker wakes up from his dream and finds out that he's pregnant. I'll repeat.

The Joker wakes up in the morning and discovers that he's pregnant. I didn't make that up. Just look at the picture. They put it in there. So the Joker goes to the hospital and prepares to give birth. Then he winds up throwing up a mud monster instead. A violent, gun-filled chase commences, but then it is discovered that the mud creature has morphed into a child-size version of the Joker. And the Joker

accepts the thing as his son, shows him off to a girl that he's trying to make a relationship with, taunting her over the family that she could have had with him. And so the reviewer says, what did I just read? This is one of those comics that you can't really review because there's no real story. There's no artistic vision to pick apart. And see, this is true of entertainment in general.

This is not just about Batman or DC Comics or, you know, that world. This is true about all of our entertainment in general, because it's all become detached from reality. It's all just about shocking people, overthrowing convention, taking people out of reality. This is our postmodern world. There is no truth. There's no beauty in anything. You know, a scrutin in the UK talked about the essence of beauty and architecture and music and so many different things. It was a CIA that was actively working on a lot of these, uh, you know, projects that take beauty out of architecture and every, and art and everything else. Comics to finish up, this person says,

comics are overpriced. Their contents are either of sub-mediocre work or feature the writers exposing their fetishes. Recently, Batman News, that's the people who are reviewing this, lost writer Nicholas Finch to other pursuits. He claimed that he'd fallen out of love with DC Comics. I'm really feeling that as well.

DC comic books seem like they're written for no one, and no one is really discussing them. Yet even as more and more people become disillusioned with DC, the company behind the scenes doesn't seem to care. Now you could say the same thing about every single one of the film companies. Nobody likes the movies anymore that they're making, and they just don't care. Finally, she gives us a score of 2 out of 10, and I wonder, how in the world did it get a 2? She truly did hate it, and she's thinking of changing careers

based on this kind of stuff. But the media is on a roll. They want to push transgenderism no matter what. And so we just had a man who was executed and the media was trying to make him a martyr because he started wearing makeup and dressing as a woman in prison after he'd committed the murders, after he had been in prison for quite some time. Clearly, I believe that it was simply a ploy to try to get clemency because the media bought into that.

An Associated Press article lamented that unless the Missouri governor, Mike Parson, granted clemency, Amber McLaughlin, 49, would become the first transgender woman executed in the U.S. This is a man we're talking about. When they say transgender woman, this is a man dressing up like a woman. This is a murderer who is going to be executed. And so that story was republished by the Washington Post, by ABC News, by CBS. It was a man named Scott McLaughlin who was convicted in 2006, 16 years ago, of stalking,

raping, and killing his former girlfriend. He only began transitioning three years ago, according to the AP. He did it while he was in prison. And again, I think this is a ploy to gain sympathy. The piece begins with an appeal to McLaughlin's plea for clemency rather than McLaughlin's undisputed heinous crime. And that's what they always do. They always focus on, well, let's save this person's life.

They never talk about what they did to get on death row. I have personal experience with this in my family. It was a story that I was not real close to. I was living in Texas at the time. It was right after we got married. And my aunt and uncle were murdered by a guy that they did not, they had a duplex. They didn't have a lot of money.

They had a duplex and they lived on one side of it, rented out the other side. They rented to a guy who, um, they didn't know his criminal background. He didn't pay them rent for over a year. And, uh, they, you know, kept working with them and trying, you know, kept giving them excuses and never did pay him. So eventually what they did was they had him evicted. And when he was evicted, he came back late at night. And my uncle was deaf.

He was asleep, but he was deaf. And my aunt opened the door, and he forced his way in and killed them both with a knife. And it was such a heinous crime that when the detective was describing it, he broke down on the stand in tears. This was a guy who'd done this his entire life. Uh, my dad was there.

He was dying of cancer at the time. He was at that. And the guy was convicted. He didn't deny that he had done it. As a matter of fact, he turned himself in. The police couldn't find him for a while. He said, well that he had done it. As a matter of fact, he turned himself in. The police couldn't find him for a while. He said, well, my excuse was I was on drugs. And so he was on death row and they kept extending this. And my cousins would have to go

periodically to speak to the parole board. So they didn't turn this guy loose, but he had organizations in Canada that were trying to, um, trying to get him free and talking about the fact that he wrote poetry and stuff like, which is completely irrelevant. Uh, but he died a much worse death than whatever happened.

He died slowly of cancer and, uh, prison. But again, that's what they did with this particular case. They said absolutely nothing about what he had done to stalk this person. Even got a, as she was being stalked by him, she got a restraining order.

But he waited outside her workplace, brutally raped her, violently stabbed her as she was trying to go home. And so the lawyers and the Associated Press and the Washington Post and all the rest of them, because this guy started wearing a dress and wearing makeup, they wanted him to get off. And I imagine it was something like this. They're probably watching me. Well, let them. Let them see what kind of a person I am. I'm not even going to swat that fly. I hope they are watching.

They'll see. They'll see and they'll know. And they'll say, why, she wouldn't even harm a fly. All right. And I think we have a James Bovard joining us now. I think we've been able to make connection. Can you hear me, Mr.

Bovard? Yeah, I can hear you. Sorry for the delay on my side. No problem. No problem. Things happen. It's great to have you on.

James Bovard is introduction. In case you don't know James, he's been around for quite a while and writing many, many books. How many books have you written? I talked to him about 10, 10, 10 so far, and you're still working on them. I love the one I talked about earlier. attention deficit democracy. I love that title. And of course you're always writing for various publications, the Mises Institute, a libertarian. You wrote a right on all things political and economic. And so it's great to have you on.

And I wanted to talk earlier in the show. I talked about biometrics. And you just recently had an article about facial recognition and things like that. I talked about a case where someone was arrested and jailed simply on that. They always talk about how biometric surveillance and identification is just going to be a starter into their process. But, of course, we've seen that it's worked out very differently it's extending in so many different ways i think your article was about tsa wasn't yeah it was i've smacked tsa around a lot over the last 20 years and uh they deserve it they

smacked us around a lot whenever i oh that's true i mean hey it's payback you know that's right i'm just trying to settle my debts from those air checkpoints. Yeah, so this is on the TSA facial surveillance. TSA is starting to set up all these, they have set up a bunch of places and airports where people check in by having their face scanned, and it's on a trial basis now, but the TSA is probably going to try to mandate that nationwide sometime later this year yeah it's always this uh mission creep isn't it and creeps who are

patting us down and all the rest of the stuff when i was in texas they uh they had the house uh put in and passed it unanimous said you're not going to have these body scanners and you're not going to pat kids down when that first rolled out and i don't know if you recall but they said well if you don't allow us to do this we're going to make texas a no-fly zone and they got that shut down when it went to the texas senate the lieutenant governor there at the time uh pushed back on that but we subsequently found out that was in 2011 uh that, they had said, and some TSA documents, because one guy who pushed back against the machines and the violation of privacy and a lawsuit, he got discovery and they, they mistakenly put up that in 2011, the TSA said in their own documents, there's no threats to

airports or airplanes. And that's the same time they're telling everybody we've got to roll these things out and we've got to, uh, out and we've got to do all these things. So they're constantly pushing this, but it seems like the biometric database and biometric collection is really what they're focusing on right now because they're rolling out in every way possible a digital ID for everyone worldwide. That seems to be what the focus is right now. Major thrust. Yeah. I mean, this is interesting. That's a nice bit, a good example from 11 years, 12 years ago.

People should not forget back when these whole body scanners that take nude photos of you were first introduced, TSA said that would be voluntary then it became mandatory and tsa used punitive enhanced pat downs on people who did not voluntarily go through those whole body scanners i had some memorable experiences with that that made some lively articles every time i fly i refuse to go through it i want to make it difficult for them and they try to make it difficult for me they make me go stand by the x-ray machine i refuse to stand by the x-ray machine so i get the enhanced bat down all the rest of the stuff

but it's it's gotten to the point now with all the covid and mask and everything i've just decided i'm not going to fly i'm not going anywhere they went yeah it's um it's it's a frustrating business i mean it's it's and it it's increased a fatality rate because you've had a lot of people have the same reaction that you do. They are driving instead of flying, and the accident rate for driving is much higher than flying. There's less aggravation from TSA. So that's had an adverse effect on public safety. There was a lawsuit by the Competitive Enterprise Institute that tried to challenge the TSA mandate for the whole-body scanners based on the increased accident rate from autos that people would be shifted over

to driving to avoid the scanners. And the federal court found some reason to dismiss that lawsuit. But no, I mean, it's just, it's, TSA is, it's exasperating in so many different levels, but it is very secretive. It's very difficult to get information from the agency as far as what it's actually done. The TSA encourages people if they've had, if they felt like they had been mistreated to file a complaint, but then TSA encourages people if they felt like they had been mistreated to file a complaint. But then TSA makes it very difficult for journalists to get copies of those complaints. So it's like, okay, so you're just throwing your complaint into a black hole. Yeah. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

They should have to, we should have to prove to them that we are no threat. We shouldn't have to prove to them that there's going to be more accidents on the road. They should have to prove to us they have a constitutional authority to do something like this. That's the real issue. Yeah, I mean, that's a great point of the constitutional authority. And here again, it's one of those Washington, D.C. shell games, because the thing TSA has said in court is that there is no fourth

amendment issue uh as far as warrantless searches uh because people have voluntarily submitted to be searched at those checkpoints however tsa also says that if you aren't searched you can't fly that's right so i mean and if we allow those types of things to happen that's the same kind of prevarications that they were using saying you know i'm not mandating any vaccines for you i'm just telling you you know you you got a choice you know you can have a job you can have a life uh you know if you take the vaccine and if you don't uh you won't have any of those things but it's not a mandate i'm not forcing you to do anything i'm not coercing you it's like oh court yeah you are you know yeah and and it's funny to see how the history is being rewritten as far as uh the uh covid policies there was a piece of new

york times a day or two ago claiming that there had been no lockdowns here in the u.s and i mean this is like you know how much further is this fantasy or welly and stuff gonna go it's like you know we never shut down the schools the kids could have come you know this is i love it i love the quote that you had you said shutting down entire states with covet lockdowns was the equivalent of burning witches or sacrificing virgins to appease angry viral gods and i think we know who those angry viral gods are they're the nih and the fda right well yeah i mean uh it's very important to keep mr fauci happy so and fauci won lockdown so voila you know we were locked down and and it you know it helped his uh you know bonuses for his books or whatever i don't know yeah yeah exactly i was talking earlier

about uh trump's rediscovery of the war on drugs oh that's gonna prosecute that you know that's always that sounds very uplifting yes yes i said uh okay boomer uh you know this is something that's failed for over 51 years and somehow he's gonna make it work even and somehow he's going to make it work even though he didn't do anything with it uh in his four years but again that's another one of these things where's your constitutional authority for that uh i think it's very interesting to see how this this war on drugs just continues to go on and this is what concerns me about uh covid and all of these uh legal prevarifications that they use to establish this. I keep a running total from, you know,

and there's other things that were done in the buildup to this pandemic lockdown. But I focus it back on the day that he declared the executive emergency, declaring a state of emergency so he could slather money all over everybody to do all these nasty things, March the 13th of 2020. We're now 1,030 days into this. And, of course, Biden has piggybacked his own tyranny on top of that executive order. And nobody is talking about getting rid of that. There's a few states that are talking about, well, we need to start looking at executive orders.

But really nothing is being done about that. What do you think? There have been some challenges in court. I don't know how far they've gone and what exactly they've managed to get struck down at state level. It's amazing how docile most people have been to the federal power grabs on this pandemic. pandemic and you have Biden, you know, pulling one rabbit out of the hat after another. And Biden's claim that the thanks to the pandemic, he's got to forgive a trillion dollars in student loans. I mean, this is the kind of thing that, you know, should not have passed the lab test in the White House.

But maybe the White House is so accustomed to getting away with so much nonsense. This is like, well, sure, let's just, you know, let's take this and run up the flagpole and see if we get away with it in federal court. Yeah, there's been so many grabs. You've got the CDC saying we're going to suspend all evictions and foreclosures because of this. And the way that that continued to go on and on and on. And again, it was a bipartisan thing. They initiated that under Trump. They extended it under Trump.

And you had Trump appointee at the Supreme Court said, well, you can continue this even though you don't have any authority for it. Then finally, they said, well, we're going to have to stop this because they extended it past their deadline that they promised to stop it. But I guess when we look at this, the overall trend that we see is that there just absolutely is no more attention whatsoever paid to the Constitution or even the rule of law. You've got now the precedent of doing gun control by executive order. I mean, how do we pull this back? Do you think that there's – I'm looking at this political theater that's going on right now in the House as they're having the votes on the speaker and it's going on and on and on. But they have talked about a real issue, and that is that the Congress is totally dysfunctional, even compared to the dysfunctional Congresses of history.

They've always been locked. Yeah, that's a good point i think it was a congressman chip roy who was saying that it's been like four or five years since since they had to vote on the house floor to amend any of the bills because everything is just jammed through um it's it's a total facade of a uh you know a representative government what's interesting is to see the panic of a lot of the mainstream media over the delay in choosing a new speaker. And it's kind of funny because Biden is going to make his speech today at 2 o'clock, his second anniversary of January 6th.

And he's going to basically paint everyone who was there as a terrorist or as a terrorist supporter or whatever. I mean, that's a label the FBI has used for everybody they've charged for January 6th for parading inside the Capitol. Yeah. That's a strange form of terrorism. Parading without guns, yeah. Yeah, part of what fascinates me is that the media

has bought into the biden line that there was some grave damage done to america because there was a five or six hour delay in confirming the results of the uh 2020 election and i'm thinking well if that somehow hurt america then okay so we've had like three or four days going trying to choose a speaker and i don't see how it's done any harm at all to america but i mean you have uh brian brian kill me at fox news calling them insurrectionist i mean insurrection yeah well he called them insurrectionists and and uh his co-host said well i don't think they would want that i think we should call them saboteurs or something. It's like, like, I don't know if that's any better than insurrectionist, but, uh, that's what's happening now, two years later. It's I mean,

the thing that shows is how so many people will have a comfort blanket from, uh, uh, just the notion that Congress is in charge and that Congress will keep an eye on things. I mean, Congress has done a miserable job of oversight for almost forever, but certainly since 9-11. Oh, yeah. And I don't see how it makes any difference if there's a speaker and, I mean, it's probably going to work out. No, I shouldn't say that. I've got to respect the defamation laws. No, I don't understand. I don't understand how folks are willing to be comforted by the selection of a – by having some politicians vote for another politician, and that's somehow going to keep us safe and somehow make the government's going to serve us.

It's bizarre. I'd like to see them go the full two months like they did in 1855. we could at least keep the government shut down for two months that'd be one way to do it but you know when you look at what chip roy was saying he was saying we've been completely shut out of the process this is something that's being done by you know four or five people at the top or whatever and uh we've seen and people have talked about, this is something that, you know, we first saw under Pelosi with Obamacare, where they bring in this several thousand page bill and they say,

okay, yeah, we're going to have a vote on this in 24 hours. It's like, what, you know, how can you do this? But the reality is,

is that that's just the tip of the iceberg, that absurdity. The other part of it is, is that even if they found something in there that they didn't like, they've shut them out of the process on the floor to make any changes to it. So it's completely dysfunctional, and they have shipped everything over to the bureaucracy anyway. Yep, and it's interesting that there's either a little recognition of that by the press corps or else the press corps doesn't say anything because it basically supports the idea of putting government on a pedestal. And average citizens don't really need to know what the government's doing.

That's right. Yeah. Talking about a bureaucracy, you've got an article, Biden's bloated IRS will skewer taxpayers. This is one of the issues that has been sticking with everybody. This, you know, growing the IRS by what, eightfold or something at 87,000 new agents. And Kevin McCarthy trying to get support says it's going to be the first thing I do is get rid of this. He doesn't say how he intends to get rid of that. But you point out the media has gone to bat for the IRS. How'd they do that? Well, it was fascinating to see how the controversy over the IRS funding bill,

Biden made a big push to have this bill to hire 87,000 new IRS agents and employees to sharply increase the amount of audits that are carried out. There's almost no focus on customer service, improving customer service, even though I think in the last year, the IRS answered fewer than 10% of the calls from taxpayers seeking help or insights on how to pay their taxes. But it was fascinating to see how the Washington Post, for instance, was just terrified of any criticism of the IRS. This is back when Biden was pushing the bill back this past summer. Dana Milbank, a post columnist, said that the GOP anti-IRS rhetoric is one of the hallmarks of authoritarianism. So you criticize the IRS and you're an authoritarian. Where did I go wrong?

Well, you know, it's been said, I forget who said it, but they said a law that is sufficiently complex is the same as having no law at all. The IRS code is so complex that a disgruntled agent can do whatever they want to, to you in an audit. That's the thing that strikes fear into people's hearts. And I'm sure it scares the Washington post as well, but they don't have the courage to oppose that kind of authoritarian system. And that's the true authoritarianism as we all know.

Right. Yeah. And you know, part of what people don't realize with these IRS audits is that the, uh, that in tax court, the, uh, uh, any allegation the IRS makes is presumed correct. Yeah. The IRS doesn't need to put evidence on the table to prove that someone had this income, which they failed to report. It's simply presumed correct.

And the burden of proof shifts to the taxpayer. I mean, it's not like in a federal criminal court where the burden of proof is on, supposedly, on the prosecutors. But so the entire system for tax administration is just profoundly biased against what's, you know, what's normally considered to be due process. And of course, that is the issue with government by bureaucracy where we don't, you know, we have taxation without representation, but we have regulation without representation. They say that if it's a rule coming from the bureaucracy, that it is not a law. And so you don't get any due process. That's the basis of civil asset forfeiture.

And that's been the basis of the IRS. The IRS was infamous for a long time because they were the only agency that's doing that. But now we've got all kinds of agencies that do that for all kinds of reasons. It became a central sticking point of the war on drugs. But you've seen the FAA come out and say, well, if you don't get a $5 license from us or whatever it was when they started wanting to license light drones above a certain weight limit, if you don't get that license and it's a minimal fee and we find you flying without a license, we'll find you hit you with $25,000, you know, and then they walk that back

after complaints. But look at what has happened as people were upset about having to be forced to wear masks on airplanes. And they were hitting people with tens of thousands of dollar fines, left and right, because there's no protection against excessive fines, just like there's no due process and no presumption of innocence when it's the bureaucracy that's coming after you. Yeah, and there's been nothing to curtail the bureaucracies from pulling new rules out of their hat and slapping them on. One of my favorite examples is back a few years after it was created, TSA created a secret system of attitude fines, which, you know, which... Attitude fines. True story, true story. People can be fined up to $1,500 for showing a bad attitude towards TSA agents who are patting them down or, you know, sticking their hands anywhere.

I mean, hey, it was impossible to penalize the TSA agents because the federal courts gave them a, you know, a, you know, gave them a pass. But there were all these all these citizens would get hit with fines sometimes weeks after they flew, they took a flight and all of a sudden, well, you know, the TSA says that you showed a bad attitude or you said this or that, the other, I mean, geez, I mean, you talk about making fly expensive. Boy, I didn't realize just how I had skated through. I've had, I could have had a long list of those things. Because like I said, every time I go through there, I say, Nope, you're going to pat me down.

And I don't have a good attitude about it either yeah and and something else is that the tsa has the secret watch list uh which which basically uh you know tell the screeners to you know target certain travelers and there are all these, all these criteria. And one of which was, uh, people, uh, who are publicly notorious. Uh, so that's all it takes to be, uh, you know, to, to trigger the TSA alarm on the secret watch list. And since you've criticized the TSA many times, I don't know, maybe you'd be on that list. I've probably had so many different government lists. It would be really entertaining for me to do a FOIA request someday. Uh, good luck in your response. I'd have to sue him, I guess, to get any information. Uh, talk about this because, you know, we're here on the anniversary of January the 6th

and, um, I got fired for opposing Trump and stop the steal and all the rest of this stuff. And, and, um, uh, you know, so when we look at it, I've said for the longest time, I said mail-in ballots, which Trump helped to establish, were the key in terms of the election. You've got an article that's on the New York Post. Twitter files reveal how federal censors made mail-in ballots sacred. How did they make it sacred? Well, what happened was the DHS had a branch that was pushing Twitter, Facebook, and other social media and Internet companies to suppress criticism of mail-in ballots.

There's a group, a new think tank called the Foundation for Freedom Online, which has done some great work that showed how some of the federal grantees were pulling strings and basically uh getting some tens getting millions of uh tweets and facebook posts and other things which criticize mail-in ballots getting those suppressed yeah that that was the key thing i thought you know i said um people who were going to go to january 6 i said you know look trump helped to establish this he didn't do anything to oppose it that is the new wrinkle that's been added to it and of course we know that elections have been corrupt in so many different ways for so long and it begins even with ballot access debates uh debate access gerrymandering you got so many different ways that they have manipulated it. But the ability to rig electronic machines and the ability to have these mail-in ballots and all the rest of the stuff, I said, it's just taking it to an astronomically high and

new level. And yet nobody wants to talk about that. And nobody wants to talk about Trump's complicity in that as well. It seems to me like everybody was complicit in that and they have really established that as a new precedent. I don't think that's going to go away. Well, I don't know if everybody was complicit and there were some people who tried to push back and give warnings, especially on the mail-in ballots and

things like ballot harvesting. I mean, where you've got a total loss of chain of custody of the ballot, and you just have someone show up with this basket of ballots and said, yep, yep, people gave these to me. How do we know? Hey, you know, it's the, you know, it's fascinating how Biden has tried to make any kind of, any type of verification of voters identity a civil rights violation it's like it's so bizarre but no I mean this is something which which both parties have screwed up on it's interesting how poorly that that the GOP did to push back against some of the provisions that were done in the, that helped determine who won the 2020 election. Biden is giving a presidential service medal today

in the White House to the Michigan Secretary of State who mailed 7 million absentee ballots to the everybody in Michigan, even though that wasn't allowed under state laws, I understand Michigan law. So that was a violation of the U S constitution clause for elections. But, uh, you know, it worked out well for Biden. So she gets a medal.

Yeah. I've called it the, uh, mail out election instead of a mail in election, you know, people have always mailed in ballots, absentee ballots. If they got a legitimate issue, they've, they've got, um, you know, they can't be there because they're sick or they're going to be out of town or something. But that was always a very small thing. What changed with all this was that they made it this massive scale, as you were just saying, mailing it out to everybody. And we've got a lot of cases where people were getting ballots sent to them by multiple jurisdictions because they were close to a dividing line or something like that. And it's a bit confusing the way they gerrymander the places so i guess even the people mailing the balance out couldn't figure out uh if it was overlapping stuff there but it's just

total fraud anymore yeah and and it was you know people uh experts knew four or five years ago that the mail-in ballots were probably uh if not the biggest, one of the biggest sources of fraud in elections. Something the New York Times pointed out a decade ago. But there were all this string pulling in 2020. Well, it's a pandemic. It's an emergency. So therefore, we don't need to verify ballots anymore. Verifying ballots.

I'm sorry, go ahead. Once they get it in, they're never going to take it out. You know, I mean, I know they want to keep the pandemic going and they're trying to bring it back with masks and all the rest of the stuff. But everybody knows. And Biden kind of slipped up and said, yeah, it's over. And we know that it's over. You don't see the public believing this. They're not wearing the mask in China once they got the jackboot off of them. And they're still trying to panic everybody about what's going on in China, but traffic is soaring there. The people who live there are not worried about it, but yet they're pretending that this

thing is never going to go away. Then once they got that little bit of authority, they're going to hang on to it forever, aren't they? Yeah, it's frustrating. It's frustrating, but maybe there'll be more effective pushback. I don't know. Let's talk a little bit about, because you've been a real champion about Julian Assange. You pointed out four years ago, I wrote in the USA Today column, calling for Assange to receive a Presidential Medal of Freedom. Well, instead of that, he got stabbed in the back, right? By the guy that he helped.

What is going on with julian assange at this point is there any hope at this point well maybe there's hope on the signs i don't know there are the the new york times and some other media outlets uh called in late november to drop the charges against him uh the the biden it's interesting back back when the when WikiLeaks made their biggest disclosures on Afghanistan and Iraq, the Obama administration looked at it and said that there was no basis for charging him with, you know, a violation of US law. But the Trump administration came in and filed charges against them. And the Biden administration is pursuing those.

And the ACLU and some other groups have been very outspoken that this is a grave danger to the First Amendment because you're going after publishers. That's right. Yeah, while they lionize and talk about the Pentagon Papers and they lionize the Washington Post and New York Times and articles and in movies, they change it completely, change the narrative. Of course, they're saying that in order to get around that precedent,

they're saying that Julian Assange participated in pilfering the documents, but that's the basis for the attack. But you talk about how everything is, you know, this happened under the Trump administration, and the administrations don't really seem to mean that much what we see is a gradual increase in tyranny i remember interviewing thomas drake and he said uh throughout the bush administration you know the guy who's pushing the patriot act and all this other stuff he said they never came after me it was during the obama administration that they did and then julian assange who is of great assistance to Trump just by telling the truth about Hillary Clinton, then they come after him.

This is the bureaucracy, I think, that is gradually expanding its reach each time. Don't you agree? Yeah. Thomas Drake was a hero. It's great that he stood up against the feds and whipped them in federal court. Yes. Yeah, it's sad to see that it's not more controversial what the government is doing. I mean, I've been amazed that there wasn't more mainstream support for Julian Assange. There was a protest to support freedom for him back in October.

And it was held at the, you know, there was a protest in London that got 7,000 people. They had one in DC, which I spoke at, which might've gotten 200. Uh, so, I mean, it was as good that they did it, but I mean, it just, it just has not had traction. I don't, you know, I don't know. The thing about it is it's a dangerous precedent. All these things are precedents and we need to start setting some precedents for liberty and for the rule of law. We've got to somehow reverse this thing.

And that's what's so troubling to see this is that all the precedents that are being set are to take us deeper down into tyranny. Thank you so much for joining us, Mr. Bovard. Where can people find you? Jimbovard.com. I do quite a bit for New York Post, doing stuff for the Brownstone Institute, Libertarian Institute, FFF, lots of places, and so far I haven't been

indicted. That's something in this environment. Thank you so much for joining us. Always a pleasure talking to you. Hey, thanks for having me on. Thank you.

I appreciate that.

The Common Man. They created Common Core to dumb down our children. They created Common Past to track and control us. Their Commons Project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.

That is what we have in common. That is what they want to take away. Their most powerful weapons are isolation, deception, intimidation. They desire to know everything about us while they hide everything from us. It's time to turn that around and expose what they want to hide.
