The David Knight Show - 6Sep23 Pentagon AI to Censor in Real-Time as Pre-Crime Speech

Episode Date: September 6, 2023

OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODESPentagon is shifting under the influence of former Google CEO, Eric Schmidt. Artificial Intelligence wedded to Anticipatory Intel to shut down pre-crime speech �� any questioning of authority in real time. This is how the US military has become "instruments of tyranny at home" as Madison predicted. And, gaming platform, Call of Duty, will also be monitoring speech in real time to censor those violating "speech rules" of the ADL. (3:50)AI brought in to "teach" kids as young as kindergarten. The actual lesson they're being taught is NOT in the curriculum (25:49) The EU is about to attempt to censor the world. Will they get away with it? (28:45)Elon Musk denounced as anti-Semitic by most of media for challenging the authoritarian censorship of ADL. But a Jew who once did volunteer work for ADL explains what it has become — an enemy to liberty. He says the ADL is an Anti-Semitic, Authoritarian Grift (47:15)Musk's X has just censored RFKj in case you think X is a free speech platform. Equally troubling is RFKj's NEW POSITION on the jabs. (59:45)Infowars applauds the new Trump 2.0 — It's Pure FictionAfter Tudor Dixon's interview we're told that "Trump FINALLY addresses vaccine side effects". Pure lie and spin. Nothing could be further from the truth. Here's what he said (and did). (1:04:10)"Immortals": Actually the Transhumanist Billiionaires ARE Immortal Just not in the way they'd hoped. The vampires come out of the closet with slightly degraded expectations of a "fountain of middle-age". (01:33:45)UK court says doctors can kill a woman without her consent even though she is fully cognizant (01:42:40)A bi-partisan push to stop mutilating the bodies of minors? In California? (01:42:12)A heartwarming story of nurse who delivered her future daughter-in-law (01:51:43)INTERVIEW Economics Book Fuels Pushback Against Socialism Axel Kaiser's "The Street Economist: 15 Economics Lessons Everyone Should Know" has become the "Common Sense" of Latin America, having an effect in Argentina & Chile similar to Thomas Paine's book. Its effect can be seen in the recent Argentine election where Javier Milei came in first in the primary in the country where socialist policies have ravaged the country with 150% inflation and 50% poverty. It explains in a short book (120 pages) simple, math-free examples the problems of socialism. Now translated into English, it's a must for every student and liberty minded adult.

You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Wednesday, the 6th of September, year of our Lord, 2023. Well, today we're going to begin by taking a look at special forces they now have the pentagon is now using artificial intelligence to try to stop any new information anything that would go against their narrative in the launching

stage you know just like you want to take down a nuclear missile in the launching stage that's how serious they take the speech and of course these weapons of tyranny were always forged by the pentagon by darpa and others we'll also take a look at what is going on with the adl and musk the history of censorship there we have these uh this new podcast called the eternals and they're going to tell you how to get eternal life. You take blood from other people. It may get harder and harder for them to find that blood as they're contaminating it with the mRNA vaccines.

And, of course, we'll look at more Trump 2.0. He's now talking about the vaccines. We'll be right back. Yeah. We're also going to have in the third hour, an economist who is the, um, rated by Johns Hopkins Institute for applied economics. They placed him third among influencers on economic matters with the greatest global impact in Latin America, Spain, and the United States. If you want to know what's going on in this election that we, you know, in Argentina surprised everybody, they said, look at this guy. He's kind of a Ron Paul libertarian, very libertarian economics.

But of course, even when the Wall Street Journal reports on it, they don't want to talk about his very libertarian economics. But of course, even when the Wall Street Journal reports on it, they don't want to talk about his economic policy because this guy we're going to be talking to has written a book called The Street Economist, the best-selling book in Chile, Spain, and many, many other Latin American countries, I suspect in Argentina as well, if they're going to elect somebody like this.

He's having a big influence, and he talks about economics, socialism, and other things like that. But when the Wall Street Journal covers that election, they don't want to talk about his economics. They don't want to talk about contrasting market economics with socialism. Instead, they talked about his hair, his hair. And so we want to take a look and get an idea of what is really on his mind.

And even more importantly, to make sure that we understand ourselves and that our children understand the difference between socialism and true economic freedom. So he's going to be our guest in the third hour. Let's begin with this weaponized propaganda from the Pentagon. For the longest time, I've talked about how the Internet was the brainchild of DARPA, a DARPA psychologist, just in case you never understood what the internet was really about. And JCR Licklider, when it became popular in the 1990s, became possible in the 1990s to have a high enough speed that you could start to get things practically on the internet. And it

was, you know, as this was was beginning you had DARPA you had the CIA openly come out with a venture capital firm but you had all these different intelligence agencies NSA the rest of them had people on venture capital boards CIA had its own creating the companies that were going to rule the internet and setting these guys up you know let's find people that are going to work with us and then we'll let them compete with each other so the best man wins and we got the strongest case here and so that's when he had the birth of facebook as they shut down total information awareness everybody said that's creepy the next day they open up facebook and um it was always a trap it was always a trap it's was always a trap. It's all free. Come on in.

It's all free. Then they close the gates and they start executing our liberties, killing them. And so as we see this happening, it should be no surprise that this is becoming more and more open. And they're bragging about it. And they're going to be using artificial intelligence now to do the censorship. And that's what this is about. And it's really kind of artificial intelligence

wedded to anticipatory intel intelligence or intel. So it's really kind of AI squared, isn't it? Anticipatory intelligence has been there for a very long time as part of geospatial intelligence to try to anticipate what people are going to do and shut them down before they do it. So now they're using this for speech, AI squared, kind of a pre-crime aspect of it. Not a surprise either that the government would be involved in propaganda. You go back 100 years ago when it was just newspapers. Hey, you tell me what war you want and I'll give it to you.

So the newspaper mogul. And McRaven, who was head of special forces, when I was covering the rollout of equipment by Barack Obama to all these different police departments, which they had never done before as they're weaponizing and militarizing them. McRaven said, you know,

we have to understand special forces has always been about psyops, not really about kinetic operations. It's not really about people parachuting out of planes or, you know, you know, going underwater to blow things up the underwater demolition teams. And it's really been more about PSYOPs. It's about identifying who our enemy is going to be and who our allies are going to be

and then helping and attacking them appropriately. That's what Special Forces has been and that's what we need to get back to. And that was what was being said about eight years ago openly and so now u.s special operations command can now analyze social media data to capture quote emerging narratives quickly generate the information military forces need to stamp out unfriendly trends even as they are still in the process of going viral. That's interesting because this is reported by RT. The American press has not really picked this up.

And there isn't any conspiracy theory here. This is a press release from the company that is doing it for the Pentagon. AI software developer Acrete announced in a press release that it will provide its open source threat detection, that's what it calls it, Arugas, to the Pentagon to target, quote, synthetic media, unquote, and so-called disinformation on social media in real time. The tool will be used by intelligence analysts and other specialists to predict real-time disinformation threats from social media. They're going to anticipate your disinformation. And, of course, they will take this to the person. They'll take it to the man.

They will shut down the independent journalists. They'll shut down independent media organizations, uh, claiming that these, um, the CEO said in his press release, I said, uh, when they talk about synthetic media, they're talking about AI generated stuff, but they also have their program where they're going to generate AI stuff. So it's going to be measured, you know, attack countermeasures, counter countermeasures, that type of thing happening here. It really is an information war and, uh, it's going to of thing happening here. It really is an information war.

And it's going to escalate big time. We're going to have to have our own channels of communication. I can foresee the time when I will be kicked off of all media, all podcasts everywhere. And presumably, if I still have a website, we can operate that way but that time is coming it's only a matter of when it's going to roll out claiming that these things pose a serious threat to u.s national security and civil society that social media itself is quote

an unregulated environment you can't have anything unregulated oh it'd be like the wild west i love the wild west i love the fact that it was unregulated uh it was regulated by the people who came together in a posse to protect their town with the sheriff that was the regulation that was needed and that was all that was needed yeah they always demonize the wild west and i thought you know i look at it's like i honestly don't know what you guys are talking about it looks great to me um anyway uh unregulated environment where adversaries routinely exploit reasoning vulnerabilities reasoning vulnerabilities you've had too much to think right reasoning well that means i guess when the government tells you screwy things that cannot possibly be true that would be a reasoning

vulnerability as i've said many times before i don't know exactly how they brought those buildings down but i know they brought them down i know a controlled demolition when I see it. I know that two planes are not going to bring down three steel skyscrapers collapsing into their footprint. So I don't know how they did it, and I don't have the powers of investigation to uncover this. They have the power to kill people who talk about it. They have the power to cover it up. You had 9-11 Rudy Giuliani and Bernard Carrick, who was head of the police department there. They covered that stuff up.

And, you know, best buddies with Trump now, right? Maybe that's why you didn't see all the 9-11 information. But, of course, they're not going to record that stuff anywhere. Well, they did. But, yeah, you know, when you've got a narrative that can't be true, that's what I said. I don't know what they did, but I know that what they're telling you is not what happened. It's not possible what they're telling you.

Uh, so, you know, manipulate behavior through the intentional spread of disinformation. That's what they want to do. A version of it called a nebula social isbula Social is set to be marketed to private corporations in order to manage their online reputations and their brand. You see what we're talking about here is the Pentagon and the government, they're looking at this as their reputation, as their brand. And it's also bigger than that. It's how they manipulate us how they control us but the corporations will do this as well and isn't it interesting that

all of this stuff comes together the merger of corporations and governments and how they become ever more like each other isn't it yeah it's two-headed snake we believe the market for ai that can predict and neutralize uh media is about to explode he says pentagon's defense innovation unit co-founded by ex-google ceo eric schmidt this is one of the things you know i replayed the interview uh with um the guy who wrote about uh the four battlegrounds i wanted to talk to him about artificial intelligence but of course you know the four battlegrounds are four battlegrounds that we have with china and that's what the military industrial complex which he's a part of that's what they're focused on their war with china and um and you hear that even

when Trump as he's reinventing himself as you know at least that's the way the conservative media wants you to see Trump now he's finally come around he finally understands we need to test these vaccines no that's not what he said at all I'm gonna pull what Infowars said about that, what the Post Millennial said about that, and what Dixon, the candidate who interviewed him on the podcast, said about that. I'm going to talk about that today. That is absolutely not what Trump did. Not at all.

They're still lying to you about him. There are still shills for him. It's pathetic what they are doing and i tell you you know it's trump derangement syndrome is what maga has big time yeah there's a lot of people on the left deranged about trump as well but equally true on the right and these people know it you know it's not that it's not info wars and post-millennial and a Dixon who have a derangement syndrome they know exactly what they're doing it's money and audience that's what they're doing but when we look at going back to Sharae's book the fourgrounds. Looming large in that book, which I read for the interview, is Eric Schmidt. He is the one who is reorganizing the Pentagon right now.

He is the biggest guy in the Pentagon. And it is being organized along the lines of what he wants to do. So there's going to be a lot of computerized attack against us eric schmidt initially worked with this country a company accrete to develop arugas or argus has written both ways in this article paying millions of dollars for a five-year license to the program designed to, among other things, uncover, quote, behavioral anomalies indicative of potentially illicit activity. Pre-crime. Pre-crime. Potentially illicit activity. Let's find that. Again, anticipatory intelligence. They've been talking about this for a long time. The potentially illicit activities that are too complex for humans to

identify. Your accuser. Drive safe and obey the rules of the road. Vehicle owners who receive a red light or speed camera violation can pay or dispute online at toronto.ca.aps. Can we unlock the power of nature to tackle microplastics? At the University of British Columbia, we believe we can. Dr. Orlando Rojasen team at the Bioproducts Institute are finding cleaner ways to clean microplastics from our drinking water using filters made of natural renewable materials. At UBC, our researchers are answering today's most pressing questions.

To learn how we're moving the world forward, visit ubc.ca forward happens here. We'll be artificial intelligence. And they're training children now in school to accept artificial intelligence. It's kind of interesting to see as this curriculum is being rolled out, CBS News to talk to kids at various stages of their education. And the kids in high school are already skeptical of it. But the kids in elementary school are in awe of it. Now, the question is going to be, is that all going to remain once they get older? It's very easy to manipulate very young minds, as they know, with the LGBT agenda. Oh, you're a different gender. Oh, okay. So, you know, tell them stories about artificial intelligence.

They're going to fall for that hook, line, and sinker. It's why the kids need to be protected. It's why you need to get your kids, your grandkids out of the government schools period it's way beyond that point way beyond it but um yeah they are going to focus on the mind wars going back to 1980s michael aquino this guy that oprah always you know spotlighting the occult and other things like that oprah winfrey bought this guy and Oprah always, you know, spotlighting the occult and other things like that. Oprah Winfrey bought this guy and he worked for the NSA, fairly high ranking individual, the NSA. And he comes in with this little Eddie Munster haircut, you know, bangs and stuff. And he had the Temple of Set, which is his satanic church competitor. And he had the accoutrements on,

trying to look as weird as he could. He had his eyebrows twisted and up like Spock or something. And she brings him in and she says, so you're high up in the military and all this kind of stuff and you're a Satanist. Yes, I'm hoping Satanist. Well, he wrote a book called Mind Wars back in the 1980s. It's people like him. This is a satanic agenda.

Literally Satanists. This guy is dead now. But he was at the Presidio. And there was a guy who was a chaplain at the Presidio. And his grandchild, grandson, said to him, said, that's, so it mentioned his name. He's got a room that's all black. And the chaplain's like, what?

Yeah, he's got a, he's seen his room, it's all black. So he goes to the authorities there, and they go to his house, and yes, in fact, he has a room that is all black. Like, what were you doing with my grandson? Well, they pressed some charges against him, and guess what? The NSA got him immediately transferred to another state where they couldn't reach him. These people are evil.

Evil personified. The NSA, the CIA. Evil personified, the people in charge of it. Mind wars. That's what they're going to be focused on. And so it's not just theoretical. This is coming everywhere, already rolling out for gaming. Call of Duty.

I've talked many times about how the Pentagon works with Hollywood, and so does the CIA. The CIA actually has, has had on their website i haven't looked at it for years now but they used to have on their website saying are you a hollywood writer or director we have a lot of very interesting scripts that we've written would you like to work with us you know we'll give you these scripts for free if you want them they write the narrative it's where a lot of this predictive programming stuff comes from. I mean, they've written the script and they hand it to people.

It's like, oh, that's an interesting idea. Let's make a movie around that. And this is predictive programming. And then at the very end, the good guys win. So you don't have to worry about this, right? Well, that's not necessarily the way that it always works out, is it?

We know in the end that God is in control, but what happens in the interim? The good guys don't always win. So they have these scripts that they offer people. I had a friend from high school who actually worked in the Pentagon. He actually worked in the department that would allocate military hardware to people if they had a script that was friendly to the military. And so his job was to look through it and see how the military was portrayed.

If it was portrayed in a positive light, yeah, sure, we'll let you use helicopters and film and all these, you know, film on aircraft carriers, all this other kind of stuff. But hey, if you're critical of the military, you're not getting anything. And so, you know, offer that carrot to people. Do you think maybe that happens to the gaming community as well? Call of Duty, you think maybe that happens to them?

They're now going to be playing footsie with the authorities here, and monitoring any of the chat that is happening as people play these games, looking for any what they call toxicity. Voice chats and video games have long been a haven for young people who want to blow off steam, writes Alam Bakari at Breitbart. And they sometimes engage in friendly trash talk, but the megacorporations that run the biggest franchises

don't like that. Or maybe it's their Pentagon buddies. They're planning to use AI to make video game chats just as sanitized and politically correct as the rest of the world. Activision and Blizzard, the company that owns the blockbuster Call of Duty franchise, plans to deploy an AI tool

to monitor the verbal chats of players in real time. Same thing the Pentagon is doing right now. You're going to monitor, you know, what you say on social media in real time and shut you down. They're looking for toxic speech. And so I guess you could say that call of duty has answered reported for duty as a sensor right uh combating toxicity by listening to in-game voice chat uh it's using ai to assist the process again the stasi ai ai will be your accuser being used by governments and corporations as a weapon against us.

The voice moderation tool, they call it ToxMod, will be able to identify in real time and enforce against toxic speech, including hate speech, discriminatory language, harassment, and more. And Alain Bacari talks about the fact that unlike a ban from social media, these people have invested a lot of money and playing the game. And, um, you know, it's, you get banned from a video game. Um, it's, um, you know, it's not like social media that's free. Well, you know, a lot of people invested a lot of money, uh, back in the day, advertising on Facebook. You know, the guy that eventually went on to do We Build the Wall,

he was a disabled vet. I think he'd lost three limbs or something, but he'd spent $300,000 advertising on Facebook, and they just canned him because they didn't like his conservative speech. But there were a lot of people like that. So, you know, bottom bottom line it's a game but here's the other part of this that is also interesting they brag about the fact that they're relying on the anti-defamation league the adl to tell them what they need to shut down. It is going to be trained by the Anti-Defamation League.

They even point that out in their press release, how they have consulted with the ADL. And these are the types of things that they're going to be looking at. Promotion or sharing of an ideology. You're not allowed to do that on a video game. Why not? I i mean what ideologies are going to be there's they're going to allow some ideologies of course uh but um recruitment or convincing others to join a group or movement targeted grooming or convincing vulnerable

individuals like children to join a group or a movement wait a minute are we talking about government school here promoting sharing an ideology targeting or grooming kids recruiting them to do this stuff this sounds like the lgbt agenda in schools no they're going to be focused on other things that the adl will focus them on using they said in their press release, using research from groups like ADL, um, and their current leadership company says we've developed the category to identify signals that have a high correlation with extremist movements, even if the language itself isn't violence. Uh,

so for instance, something like let's take this to discord, uh, that could be a recruiting tactic. So let's shut that down. And, um, yeah, it's information and liberation points out how nice to have the ADL, which has been teaching school kids for years that only white people can be racist. So nice to have them, uh, there to, uh, ban speech, uh speech using AI for people playing video games.

And he has an information liberation. He's got a couple of tweets here. He's collected one from Keith Woods. Who elected Jonathan Greenblatt, the head of the ADL? Why does he get to be the arbiter of free speech online? A gaming streamer was named Nick Merckx punished my call of duty for saying that LGBTQ plus political activists should, quote, leave little children alone. So you see, grooming is OK, but you must not criticize the grooming when it's done by the LGBTQ people. They've completely removed his partnership bundle from Warzone and MW2 store. Ideological warfare.

It is. It is what that is. You know, some people do make a living out of this, and they get cut off from that as well. Drive safe and obey the rules of the road. Vehicle owners who receive a red light or speed camera violation can pay or dispute online at toronto.ca.aps Can Indigenous ways of knowing help kids cope with online bullying? At the University of British Columbia, we believe that they can. Dr. Johanna Sam and her team are researching how both indigenous and non-indigenous youth cope with cyber aggression,

working to bridge the diversity gap in child psychology research. At UBC, our researchers are answering today's most pressing questions. To learn how we're moving the world forward, visit ubc.ca forward happens here. Just like some of the people who used to advertise on Facebook. According to Call of Duty and the ADL standards, pro-LGBT activists must be allowed to groom children to become transgender. But gamers must be banned for saying that it's okay to be white. I took a screenshot of the ADL's website.

Where it's got their header at the top the top and ADL fighting hate for good. And then they said, here's an example of a hate slogan, slang term. It's okay to be white. I guess it's loving to say it's not okay to be white then, right? Is that what they're telling you?

And the Georgia school district where that what they're telling you? In the Georgia school district where I mentioned they're using AI curriculum starting as early as kindergarten, CBS News is talking about it. They talked to some second graders, first graders rather, who were programming Legos with integrated motors and sensors with the help of AI. Do you think these kids in first grade are really programming it? A six-year-old said, well, I like that we can build stuff and do stuff we haven't done before. Karen, when she was teaching school, she got access to a computer that could run BASIC. And this was in the late 1970s and so you know i worked with her we put together a little thing so you could you know try to teach uh the basic program this you know basic the programming

language not just you know basic as an adjective but it's a programming language going way back and um so we tried to get them to program it she taught them flow charts. That was about all they were really able to grasp. They really couldn't do much programming. Do you think that they're really programming this thing? They think that they are. But they say we. I and the artificial intelligence can build stuff. They're not learning to program.

What they're learning to do is to trust artificial intelligence, you see, at an early age, in as i said before in high school they gave them they took took this to some of the art students had them sketch some stuff out then they fed that in to a ai image generator to see what it would do i said some of the students found it helpful others didn't most of them seemed to agree that it wasn't real art, that it lacked the physical element. So I guess we start them earlier to trust artificial intelligence. The biggest lesson that Karen taught these kids was not programming, really, or even flow charting.

The lesson she was teaching them was, look at all the ways that this stuff can go wrong and understand that just because the answer comes out of a computer, garbage in, garbage out. You should always remember that, that what you put into a computer is going to determine what comes out of it. And that's true of artificial intelligence, even though they're going to try to make you think that's not the case. It's the ADL that is putting in there what is hateful and toxic, and the AI is simply searching that out to punish it. It's the Pentagon who's putting that in,

and the AI is searching it out to punish it. It's following a program. They programmed it with that hate, with that agenda, with that narrative, and they're going to use it to war against others um so one student told cbs news got it right ai is just taking everybody's work and just collating it together or collaging it together technically it's not original the kid understands but do the other kids who are going to be raised on this from kindergarten. Michael Snyder, the right government censorship of the Internet is here.

And of course, it has been here for many, many years. It's just now coming out of the closet more and more openly. They're boasting about it every day. You know, and just as Madison said, you know, we talk about the Pentagon. The means of defense abroad will become instruments of tyranny at home. It's the military and the government that's using this artificial intelligence and weaponizing it against us. Not even against foreign enemies, against us. So the Digital Services Act out of Europe, as he's pointing out,

this is going to affect all of us because any content that is there could possibly be seen in Europe. So unless you're going to have a version of Twitter for different countries, which I don't see that happening, or X or whatever, they're going to be controlling what is said on the Internet. They're actually even set up an office, the European Union has set up an office in Silicon Valley for the censorship purposes

so they can be more tightly coupled to them. Dictatorship from abroad. How do we let these European dictators control speech? But of course, Pentagon shares that same agenda. It's being reported that hundreds of unelected EU bureaucrats will decide what constitutes disinformation and will instruct big tech firms to censor it. And of course they'll be doing the same function,

these EU bureaucrats will be doing the same function that the ADL does. This is the content we don't want. So you work out how to find it quickly and shut it down with artificial intelligence. They will be working with trusted flaggers, they said. You know, people like the Defamation League. That's the better way to understand who it is. That's what Musk called them.

He said, just drop the A. You're not anti-defamation. You defame people. That's what you do for the A. You're not anti-defamation. You defame people. That's what you do for a living. You're a defamation league. A priority channel will be created for these trusted flaggers. So initially, this new law from Europe, the DSA, will apply to 19 very large online platforms. Alibaba, AliExpress, Amazon apple app store booking.com facebook google play

google maps google shopping instagram linkedin pinterest snapchat tiktok x or twitter wikipedia youtube the european clothing retailer zolando's that? How'd they get in there? Bing and Google search. The penalties be extremely severe. It could face 6% of global revenue or be completely banned from doing business in Europe. And if any of these large corporations want to support free speech, then they're going to have to ban themselves from Europe to start with. Say, we're not going to have a European version of this, but I don't see that happening.

So on June 22nd, EU established their office in San Francisco to keep an eye on these people. Ramaswamy, in terms of one of these meetings, he said he was asked a question by a person there. And they said, when are we going to find out about Jeffrey Epstein's client list? Isn't it interesting how good they are at hiding things from us? They hide everything from us, especially Jeffrey Epstein's client list. But everything we do is to be made open to them. And so Ramaswamy says, well, we'll publish the Jeffrey Epstein client list. Let's roll the log over and let's see what crawls out. Yeah, that's what should be done.

And he says a lot of stuff like that. I have absolutely no confidence that he would do that, quite frankly. But, you know, nice to hear some of these comments. And we know that that is what should be done. Before we take a break real quickly on Rockfin, thank you, Diggle Log. Thank you very much for the tip. Drive safe and obey the rules of the road.

They created Common Pass 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.

Well, we were just talking about the ADL, how they're working with the European Union and everybody else to censor everyone for their political agenda. And this back and forth that is happening with Elon Musk is interesting. He says he's going to sue them because they're trying to put him out of business. He is routinely criticized across the board with one very interesting exception.

And of course, the conservatives are siding with him on this. But there was an interesting exception from Newsweek. It was written by a guy who is an Orthodox Jew who used to work for the ADL. And he has the most devastating critique of that organization you'll hear. And we'll talk about that. But first, this is more typical of what we're seeing in this back and forth. LA Times, Musk's criticism of the ADL is, quote, the most extreme outburst of anti-Semitism by a mainstream public figure in more than 100 years.

Just ridiculous. And, of course, I've been attacked by the adl as well called anti-semitic and hateful extremist everything they can think of as well it's part of a big part of my problems is the adl they've they really are and i'll tell you why i know that over the weekend musk launched a ferocious this is the la times musk launched a ferocious, this is the LA Times, Musk launched a ferocious spittle-flecked attack on the Anti-Defamation League, which describes itself accurately enough as, quote, a global leader in combating anti-Semitism, countering extremism, and battling bigotry wherever and whenever it happens oh there you go isn't that nice that's their their mission statement it's so true isn't it no i'm word of that is a lie

every word of that is a lie he asserted that the u.s advertising revenue at x is down 60 primarily due to pressure on advertisers by the adl and he says, that's what advertisers tell us. So they have almost succeeded in killing X slash Twitter. So the LA Times, that's what Musk said. The LA Times responds to that and said not to put a fine point on things, but all this shows Musk to have gone utterly off the rails and over the edge of conspiracy-mongering paranoia. It's the most extreme outburst of anti-Semitism by a purportedly mainstream public figure in more than 100 years.

Wow. His words should, and then they finish with this. You know, everybody knows that musk makes or should know musk became the richest man in the world by his servile fulfillment of the government's most totalitarian wishes let's get rid of the cars you know let's get rid of drivers as a matter of fact we'll you know solve this idea of self-driving cars and everything that was darpa's first project was self-driving vehicles so everything that he's done has been to serve government so la times as well the way we get back at this king of crony capitalism that's not their description of it as a matter of fact that's

what eric peters called elon musk about a decade ago we first started talking. The king of crony capitalism. Great description. So LA Times says his words should prompt the federal government to question his suitability. Drive safe and obey the rules of the road. Vehicle owners who receive a red light or speed camera violation can pay or dispute online at toronto.ca.aps. And that of his company, SpaceX, to hold government contracts of any kind. Yeah, cut him off at the source. The guy who wrote that is someone named Michael Hiltzik.

And Information Liberation says he positions himself as moral authority. Last year, he wrote a column and the LA times saying that it was necessary. Necessary was his term to mock the deaths of anti-vaxxers. Um, LA times. There's the, um,

column mocking anti-vaxxers death is ghoulish. Yes, but necessary. Is that hate speech from this guy oh no we don't care about that that's not extremist that's an extremist to withhold organ transplants from people let them die it's not extremist to withhold any medical any and all medical treatment from people and let them die we We've heard that said over and over again. Oh, you don't wear a mask? You don't take the vaccine?

You should die. And we're not going to give you any medical treatment because of that. That's necessary. And it's great to do that, says this guy at the LA Times. The fact of the matter is the ADL brags about their ability to influence advertisers and bring companies to heel about their agenda. And he has, in this article, clips of them doing that. As a matter of fact, some people responded to Elon Musk and said, hey, there's a documentary out there you ought to watch called Defamation,

written by an Israeli filmmaker. They gave him access to the ADL because he's Israeli, and he was not very happy with what he saw. Here's a little clip from it that was in the tweet. Do you have enough resources to deal with all this stuff? No, no, no, no, no. We're flooded every day with these things all over the country. It's a very big problem. According to the ADL reports from the last couple of years, the average number of anti-Semitic

incidents in the US is around 1,500 a year. I'm hoping Joel Levy can help me find a case I'll be able to follow. What I'd like to do is to follow a case. I understand, yeah. You know, every film needs like a drive. Once we have like a case that we can follow, so that would be great. We're going over the fresh data collected over the last couple of weeks to see if there's anything I will be able to film. We have received in the last week or so someone who, employment case,

someone who didn't, wasn't able to take days off for the holiday, someone who is a school teacher and wanted days off for Shavuot, someone who is a nursing student and had some issues with taking time off, as well as with taking time off. We also got a phone call from someone who was complaining about a website that had anti-Semitic remarks on it, someone who was complaining about an article in the newspaper who they thought had anti-semitic anti-semitic undertones um and i mean that seems to be the roundup and

that's what we've had in the last two weeks those are the kinds of incidents that we've had recently five in two weeks so there's no way to predict there wasn't anything suitable from the last two weeks. Yeah, that's from a documentary. He's an Israeli filmmaker who goes to the ADL. There's defamation. It's like, so this is what you got? You got some people upset because they couldn't get off for a Jewish holiday. People upset because a couple of remarks on a website.

Now, they set their sights much higher. As a matter of fact, it's not a theory. It's not paranoia. It's not a conspiracy theory. It's a conspiracy fact that the ADL tries to destroy people. And, you know, it only makes news when they do it to the really big people. It doesn't make news when they do it to me. And so, as he points out in Information Liberation, he says, as I pointed out in 2021, the ADL,

which supports anti-BDS laws that ban Americans from boycotting the state of Israel, they lobbied the World Federation of Advertisers to boycott Tucker Carlson and Fox News because he was talking about the great replacement, the great replacement, the idea that, you know, and it's not, it is a conspiracy, Soros and others. It's not a theory. You can see it happening in America. You can see it happening in Europe as they're bringing in massive waves of people. Typically, not families.

These are young men coming in and, you, you know, bringing, uh, violence and, and coming in, in a way they're not interested in assimilating. They're not interested in becoming, they don't want to, you know, essentially join the French people,

not coming to France because they love French culture or cuisine. Uh, they're coming because they want the stuff, the French people have, and they're wrecking everything. Uh, the great replacement is what he's talking about. So Jonathan Greenblatt bragged about the fact after French people have, and they're wrecking everything. The Great Replacement is what he's talking about. So Jonathan Greenblatt bragged about the fact,

after Tucker Carlson was fired, that he had something to do with it. I think it was the lawsuit coming up about Ray Epps. But anyway, he says what Jonathan Greenblatt said. He said, it's about time. For far too long, Tucker Carlson has used his primetime show to spew anti-Semitic, racist, xenophobic, anti-LGBTQ hate to millions. ADL has long called for his firing for this and many other offenses, including spreading the great replacement theory. And then, as he points out, two weeks after Fox fired Tucker Carlson, they bragged about how much more revenue they were making.

And look, we all knew this as well. It had been a longstanding fact. And a lot of people said, you know, they're going to lose a lot of audience because of Tucker. But there's so much boycotting of advertisers there that he's really not making as much money as some of the other programs. The question is, is he bringing an audience that then stays for the other programs that the advertisers will advertise on? And so it's commonly known that the audiences loved Tucker, but the advertisers boycotted him and did not want to advertise on his program and look i'm no fan as you know if you listen to this program i'm no fan of elon musk and i'm no fan of tucker carlson

i think he's a elon musk is a con man trying to get the the right to love him. And you've got for his further agenda that's there. And Tucker Carlson is nothing but a voice of America mouthpiece like his dad was all of his life. And he is now descending into tabloid garbage as he did in this most recent program. Bringing in a guy who says that he had homosexual sex with Obama in 1999. Look, who cares about that i i frankly don't care but i care if obama is pushing it i care about that but i don't really want to know what somebody's doing in their bedroom you know the thing i have a problem with is is people uh shoving this in your face and recruiting it to kids and making this, oh, you should do this because I do it type of thing. I don't support the homosexual lifestyle.

God has made that clear. What he thinks of it. So I would tell people for their own good not to do that that's between you and god and unless you make it some kind of a political movement which is what they have done but obama's not in office right now and the salacious reporting the tabloid reporting that tucker has got to there aren't more important things out there that are happening. The vaccine is still killing people. They're trying to ramp up climate change, McGuffin, in order to take everything from us.

So he's going to go talk about Obama's sex life? He's all about entertainment and audience and money. And he's controlled by the CIA. But the advertiser thing that is uh was there that's a real thing the real boycotts advertising that had a big effect and i'm sure that that factored a lot into his firing uh and uh it's what they're trying to do to elon musk and they should not have that kind of power as a matter of fact this, this is the Newsweek article I was talking about. It's a man named Ron Coleman.

And this is the best takedown of this criminal organization. And I say they're criminal. They are. Anybody who goes out and deliberately tries to destroy people's lives and tries to destroy our free speech in this society is criminal. Jonathan Greenblatt and the ADL are criminal crooks. You can take that to the bank. And here's what Ron Coleman says on Newsweek, of all places. The ADL has lost its way. Elon Musk is right to stand up to its censorship. He says, as a young law student back in 1987, I read an article about, quote, human rights violation, He says, and threatening. I was a bit spooked, so I called the Chicago office of the Anti-Defamation League.

A fellow named Michael Lieberman invited me to come in, and when I showed him the letters, he recognized one of the authors, a known crank with many disturbing qualities by the name of Anthony Martin Tregona. The man is a serial litigant who has by now filed over 250 political lawsuits. But he was also essentially harmless, Michael explained. And the ADL would, quote, file my letters, case closed. Back then, the ADL adhered to the values America was founded upon. It existed to protect Jews from attacks, and it did so within the confines of free speech values, albeit with a liberal slant. I know because after my encounter with ADL in 1987, I volunteered as an ADL legal intern.

It was fun, and I did believe I was doing good. Everyone believed that, And it was true. The ADL taught me that nasty grams from Jew haters were just the price that we pay for liberty. And it's worthy of being filed and forgotten. This is not Weimar Germany. It is America. We have a First Amendment. We have civil rights.

We have a working democracy. That is civil rights. We have a working democracy. That is part of the good that we have done. But the ADL no longer believes this. It has become part of a great online censorship machine that is being exposed day after day as an anti-free speech enterprise. Yes, the ADL is directing the censorship now. And if you're going to have free speech, you have to allow speech of people that you don't like. And the people that don't like you.

It's just that simple. And if you are going to drive these people out of business, punish them, then, you know, and that's what our government is doing. And for the longest time, conservatives have been saying, oh, they're just doing this because that's what they believe. I don't agree with them. And we've heard people at Reason, at the Cato Institute, at the Heritage Foundation.

And they would all say, John Stossel would say, yeah, I really hate, they're censoring me. I hate it. We disagree about things and they're kicking me off of their platforms. But it's their platforms. They can do whatever they want. No, I said at the time, and I still say it. And now we've seen the receipts. They're always doing the bidding of the governmentipts they're always doing the bidding of the government

they were always doing the bidding of the government they are the deputized state they were created in the 1990s for this purpose by DARPA and they're now executing that purpose and we have proof of that now we have a great deal of documentation. It's not a conclusion. It is documented proof. It goes on to say, the National ADL, like the ACLU, like the NAACP, and other formally, quote, apolitical, unquote, civil rights groups, is now merely a tax-exempt cadre for the National Democrat Party. That's absolutely true.

He says, as an Orthodox Jew, I want people, especially American conservatives, to know that the ADL does not speak for all Jews. And that's very important. Because, you know, this circular logic that is there is that if you criticize the ADL for its censorship policies and its dictatorial aspect

and its really kind of stasi policies, you criticize them for that oh you are anti-semitic there by definition if you criticize the anti-defamation league then you are pro-defamation of Jews is is the logic, evidently. But the ADL came after me because I said that Trump's lockdown was medical martial law from day one.

And the beginning of April of 2020, the ADL, in conjunction with the Daily Beast, called me out as this wild-eyed extremist who thought that, you know, the lockdown from Trump, locking everybody down until you, and I said it's locking us down until we get the vaccine. Oh, you're a conspiracy theorist, you're an extremist, you're hateful, you're anti-Semitic, all of those things. Anyway, he says, I don't speak for all Jews, and I want to draw attention to the fact that the ADL is largely silent when national figures and institutions aim nasty rhetoric and resentment

at the most visible Jews, or what we call in my house, the Jewiest Jews. The ADL has let our community down so many times that its silence is not even a letdown anymore and let me just say this about the aclu american civil liberties union i remember when i was involved the libertarian party in the latter part of the 1980s and the early part early to the mid 90s i would go to their national conventions and stuff and uh they would always have somebody from the aclu typically it was nadine strasser because she was the only one they could find at the adlu that uh kind of supported she didn't like guns but she kind of supported the second amendment all the rest of them were adamantly opposed to that but they were such frauds you know the aclu would always pick these high profile

cases to show how broad-minded they were and how they were holding principle above their personal preferences they would uh defend the nazis who would go to skokie illinois and march in an you know a nazi parade jew hating parade in skokie illinois but they would not lift a finger to defend the civil liberties of people who were libertarians who were simply trying to get on the ballot or trying to get into a debate it was all about that symbolism over substance you see and that's what they were really about anyway he says that about the acl adl as well all but the most institutionally constrained orthodox jews openly reciprocate the contempt that the adl seems to harbor for traditional judaism its values and its people the widespread belief in my community is that the ADL does not object to public expressions

of hatred and fear of Orthodox Jews because the assimilated Jews that run the place share those sentiments themselves. My own disdain for the formerly righteous ADL reached a peak a few years ago when I learned just how far its commitment to leftist dogma went. I encountered it as part of my work as a lawyer who does both defamation and free speech litigation, trying to get my arms around the ways smear groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center go about deplatforming disfavored people.

I kept bumping into the same rogues gallery. And the ADL was far more often than not part of the pro censorship coalition. That's really what they're about, isn't it? And then we go back to 2021. Right. And this is an article going back to august 21st 2021 paypal's unholy alliance with the adl and they said two weeks ago so this is um you know the first week of august which was about six weeks after i got banned by PayPal and Venmo without explanation.

And when I looked at it, they said, well, there's nothing here that just says take it down immediately, take your account down immediately. PayPal and Venmo banned me, and then I found out about six weeks after that that they had joined an alliance with the ADL. Same people that attacked me a year earlier called me an extremist for saying it was medical martial law. See, that didn't have anything to do with any ethnic group. It had to do with their political agenda and what they were doing.

They're hiding behind this stuff. And then, of course, Musk himself is a free speech fraud and i've been public about that as well uh and and i'm sure that musk knows that about me as well one of the reasons why i don't have any engagement on twitter um matt drudge saw my tweet somehow and i said i haven't seen uh any change in the new twitter at all i said he's he's brought back a few high profile people that were banned made a big deal out of that but it hasn't really opened up as a free speech platform still shadow banned and so he put that up on uh drudge report and left it for about three days so i'm sure that um you know uh if musk hadn't uh had me

on his sites before uh he's got me on his sites now and uh he took down a video from rfk jr just happened a couple of days ago and uh as was reported by Vigilant News, it said ever since Elon Musk hired CEO Linda Iaccarino, who has close ties to the World Economic Forum, things have taken a turn for the worse. No, it hasn't. It never got better. It got better for a few people who were brought back,

who'd been kicked off, and then they obsequiously praised Musk to a disgusting it's one thing I can't stand is flattery I don't like to be on the receiving end of it and I don't like to give it to people it disgusts me so I was disgusted to see these people slathering all over Musk oh he brought me back it's like get a life but but um no it's he hired this woman she's there to do what he wants to do and i said before you know he hired her oh yeah she works for the world economic forum and so she's going to be the person who's going to run this stuff out that he needs to do because of the digital um services act I think, whatever, DSA.

They should call it DCA, the Digital Censorship Act. But yeah, he wants her to do that stuff. He doesn't want it to reflect on him. And if it becomes too obvious, he'll have to fire her and then hire somebody else just like her. But he needs to have that done. These people make excuses for Trump, for musk like they do for trump they want to believe that musk and trump are benevolent billionaires who are going to save us there are saviors no they're not at all and i used to have this argument with uh alex all the time about both

of them musk and Trump um and both pretty much given him the shaft that's for sure uh but um uh it was um the the video that was put up by rfk Jr was kind of an odd video for rfk Jr put up and I think a false video really he's selling a false narrative about what is going on with a pandemic. And this has been a troubling trend since RFK Jr. has been running for office, in my opinion. He's focusing more and more on the Wuhan lab narrative to say that there really was a pandemic, that there really was a COVID virus, that it really was killing people. And in this particular thing, he doubles down on that. And in this particular video that was taken down,

he doubles down on that, and he has a very odd perspective. He says that even though it kept people from dying from COVID, no, it didn't. No, it didn't. It's such a strange perspective. You know, it wasn't the hospital death protocol. It was this Chinese Wu flu. Okay.

I mean, is RFK Jr. trying to, you know, put himself in a servile position to the military industrial complex that ran these germ games and ran this whole scheme? Is that what's going on with them? We're going to go back to it was a deadly virus and we had to do something and the vaccine was good and the vaccine saved people is what he says but now it saved them from covid now they're dying of heart attacks and other things is that true no it's not that's not remotely true so disappointing that he would take this route but it's an odd perspective look we all know that the people who got vexed are getting covid more often than those who didn't get vexed okay and then the heart attacks and the blood clots and all the rest of the stuff is just on top of all of that.

And when I say they get COVID more, they've got the spike protein replicating in their body. And they're testing, the PCR test is testing to see if it can find that. So why wouldn't they flag positive for that? That's what's going on. This thing is killing people in so many different ways. And to say, well, look, you know, they didn't test it, so they don't know about the heart attack's adverse effect. And so it worked, but, you know, more people are getting this disease.

What a dishonest tact that he has taken on this. Very disappointing to see that. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Speaking of COVID-19, Goldman Sachs put out a model yesterday saying that if there is universal masks, it would be a net positive for GDP. We know the IHME model says that if there were universal masks, that it be a net positive for GDP. We know the IHME model says that if there were universal masks, that it would be beneficial, it would save lives. So if there is an economic benefit, sir, and there is a public health benefit,

sir, why not go forward and say there should be mandatory masks all across this country? I'm all for masks. I think masks are good. I would wear, if I were in a group of people and I was close. You would wear one? Oh, I would. Oh, I have. I mean, people have seen me wearing one. I mean, I'd have are good. I would wear, if I were in a group of people and I was close. You would wear one. Oh, I would. I would. Oh, I have. I mean, people have seen me wearing one.

I mean, I'd have no problem. Actually, I had a mask on. I sort of liked the way I looked. Okay. I thought it was okay. It was a dark black mask. Yeah, he looks kind of fascist, doesn't he? I should say maybe facist.

But there he is with his entourage. Military. All men in uniforms. It was a war against us. The empire struck back at us big time with Trump. Military backing him up. It was a military operation from the very beginning. Always was.

All these germ games were military industrial complex the intelligence community all doing this stuff yeah yeah he would he looks really cool in the mask he said i can't breathe in this thing. Yeah, he's kind of a Darth Vader himself, isn't he? Yeah, he was selling the masks. And he was, you know, I had Chris Christie. Remember Chris Christie?

He sold the mask. Pence sold the mask. Pence, you see all these pictures of you know fauci and burke's given the podium to rule over us and to put the rules out for us and all the rest of the stuff and standing behind them in the pictures who is it standing behind them is pence and trump always there always pushing this stuff and you know at that time and i bring this up because you know trump is reinventing himself we now have trump 2.0 i mean after he continued to push the vaccine for two years after he left office and all these people wayne allen root and alex jones and all these people. Stop pushing the vaccine. It's bad. We all know it's bad.

Stop telling your base hates that. You got to stop saying that. And then when he announced his candidacy, he stopped saying it. And now he's reinvented himself as Mr. Resistance. Do not comply and all the rest of this stuff. They're bringing back the mask. Don't you do that. And now he's talking about how, well, you know, if Biden is going to come out with a vaccine, it needs to be tested.

What? What? Now, they want you to believe that Trump has changed. Do you believe that Trump has changed? As a matter of fact, let's go back and take a look at Melania. She actually did a mask commercial, just like Chris Christie did. Except she did it in kind of a Calvin Klein's way. As the CDC continued to study the spread of COVID-19...

She's standing there kind of at an angle, like a model, you know? ...wear cloth face coverings in public settings where social distancing measures can be difficult to maintain. Can be difficult to maintain. ...stores and pharmacies. Remember, this does not replace the importance of social distancing yes it is a lockdown recommended guideline to keep us all safe yeah you do what we recommend i'm not giving anybody any orders but i got to tell you that uh you know i wear my mask or i wear nothing at all you know that's uh so you know she does these types of things. Of course, she did the push for him when he was running for president about how Trump had been the most LGBT friendly president we'd had at that point in time.

He came in celebrating homosexual mirage. He appointed homosexuals to high places you know to his credit rick grinnell was not a totally deranged sex obsessed uh idiot like sam britton or dick lamine but you know the virtue of that i pointed this guy because he's lgbt really is that what we're going to do uh as a matter of fact uh this was also put out on my Twitter feed. And thank you for sending that to me. Had a listener who put that Melania thing on one of the Twitter feeds. I had not seen that before. That was from COVID-19 vaccines spelled V-A-X-I-N-E-S. And then this was also put out Trump as a mask Patriot.

This is also put on my Twitter account. Here he is back in July of 2020. We are wearing a mask man of action. Look, his hands are stretched out there. Man of action. We are United in our effort to defeat the invisible China virus. See? Now

RFK Jr. is selling the China virus, the Wu flu. And many people say that it is patriotic to wear a face mask when you can't socially distance. There is nobody more patriotic than me, your favorite president. And he shows himself in the mask.

Again, I had clipped it out of that fox um thing but uh when he was talking about how good he looked in the mask how facist he looked uh he said i look kind of like the long ranger and and it's like the lone ranger wore the mask over his eyes you're trying to pull the mask over our eyes but you're wearing the mask over your mouth doesn't stop you from that and of course um you know info wars is selling masks and mike adams is selling mask it was patriotic but more than that it was profitable uh very profitable and so now we have trump um 2 2.0. He's gone from telling everybody that it was a miracle as he did Candace Bergen or Candace Owen. One of the greatest achievements of mankind.

We would have had a 1917, remember the Spanish flu, killed perhaps 100 million people. I remember you keep telling that lie. You told it yesterday. Because the soldiers was, a lot of people don't know that the soldiers got so sick. It was a terrible thing. There were no vaccines. It would know anything. I came up with a vaccine with three vaccines. All are very, very good.

Three of them. He did three of them in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years. And we say people have died under COVID this year, by the way, under Joe Biden. Then under you and more people, the vaccine COVID this year, by the way, under Joe Biden than under you. And more people get the vaccine. People are questioning how. Well, no, the vaccine worked, but some people aren't taking it.

The ones that get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones. See, according to Candace Owens, it's not enough that Trump created the three vaccines, but Trump must be the one to administer it as well for it to work. That's the miraculous thing about the Trump vaccines, isn Trump must be the one to administer it as well for it to work. That's the miraculous thing about the Trump vaccines, isn't it? It's not enough that he stopped all the testing, but he's got to be the one to administer it as well. The vaccines only work when Trump is in the White House. It's really strange. It's magic. It really is magic. And so now we've got more magic stuff happening with the Trump sycophant press out there. He is now talking about safety. And, Travis, I don't see the safety thing.

Can you pull that in? I want to talk about the safety thing. But let's talk about the prep thing first while you're finding the Trump safety thing here. He talks about the prep thing first while you're finding the trump safety thing here uh he talks about uh the uh preparation he's he in this interview that he had with um tyler tudor dixon tudor dixon who was the michigan uh failed gubernatorial candidate she has a podcast and And she was just as flattering as you saw Candace Owen. And so after this long discourse where he talks about the 1918 flu again, and let me just say this.

They were trying to make these comparisons from the very beginning. And I said, you go back and you look at the 1918 flu and you look at the deaths by ages. I said, this is the 1918 flu was what a pandemic would look like. You had spikes in terms of people who died. And you had the two spikes, babies under a year old and people over 80 die. So the very, very young are going to be vulnerable and the very, very old. But with those exceptions, people over 80 and people under a year old, with those exceptions, it was pretty much the same across every decade. But I said, if you look at the age deaths that they're telling us about that the CDC was putting out,

they're cooked books that they put out. And they said, well, the people that are dying from COVID, it looked like the actuarial tables of the insurance companies. And we know that it was typically people who are over the age of life expectancy who had, on average, 2.6 comorbidities that were dying. And they were calling it COVID. It wasn't. It was life expectancy. It was the insurance actuarial tables.

And it was the hospital death protocol that he was paying for. And yet he continues to talk about this 1918 flu thing complete garbage uh but uh when he talks about the uh uh the preparation uh this is the part of the interview where it's like well well you know biden is out there saying he's going to come up with a new vaccine one that works works. But the vaccine, the pharmaceutical companies have been protected by the PrEP Act, and that protects them until I think it's December 24th when that sun sets. So once that sun sets and then they can be held liable for any type of vaccine injuries, will you tell these companies that they must be honest about what has happened with this vaccine? And do you believe that we should be starting a new vaccine at this point?

They have to let, look, they have to be honest with the numbers, the facts. And, you know, they have an obligation to be honest. And if they are going to hold back, that means they're holding back something that's not good. So it's good for them to be honest. And people are going to understand it, too. So it's good for them to be honest, and people are going to understand it too. That's exactly what we have to be honest with, and they have to, any information, they have to release it.

And that is not what we're hearing from this current administration, and Mr. President, I'm telling you, there are people out there that are desperate to have you stand for them in that case. Well, we'll stand for them in many ways. Well, isn't that nice? According to Tudor, Nick Dixon, if we can just get Trump back in, everything's just going to be great. He's going to save us.

He's going to do the testing that he skipped with his first jab. And he's going to get the FDA to honestly evaluate this stuff. And they're going to share all the information with people. You know, if you're keeping this information said trump that that's that's criminal um to not give that information out there and yet that was what he did what he did uh listen to him in terms of safety joe biden just announced that he's going to be funding a new vaccine he wants everyone to get this vaccine and we're hearing about a lot of complaints from vaccine injured to say a lot it's like an understatement numerous the firm your vaccine your vaccine trump used to

release their data on vaccine side effects but we've seen cases of myocarditis blood clots heart attacks they're all increasing with your vaccine the the the research with his vaccine release so will you say it's his vaccine tutor come on you can be honest the pharmaceutical companies release their vaccine data to the public so that we can see what they're actually seeing about the side effects of this vaccine well they should do that you know we're all in this together and they should be doing that and frankly uh anything new and i hadn't heard what he said yet but anything new is going to be looked at very carefully oh yeah like he did that if they have facts i mean the

facts are public they should be made public immediately people should understand that and they should they should know what research is is showing and what fact finding is you know this is now after the case yeah yeah so you know when you look at uh here's the headlines from uh info so that's uh tutor dixon uh servile sycophant to him if you just get back in mr president we got to get you back in we got to get you to save us from this vaccine that biden is about to roll out save us from your vaccine, Mr. President. The Infowars article, huge. Trump finally, all uppercase, finally addresses the vaccine side effects and urges transparency by Big Pharma. No, he didn't.

No, he didn't do either one of those. As a matter of fact, you heard her go through the litany there. Blood clots, myocarditis, heart attacks, widely attributed to the COVID-19 jab. That's a Trump shot. It's the Trump shot. Did he address that? Did you hear Trump respond to myocarditis, to blood clots, to heart attacks? Did he respond to any of that?

Did he respond to, uh, you know, the facts that it doesn't work? Did he respond to any of that? No, he didn't. He did not finally respond. He is still playing the same game with everybody, and so is Infowars, and so is the Postmillennial, and all the rest of these places. Playing the same game.

Spin game. Spin the Trump bottle, and it always comes back to pointing at cash, doesn't it? Trump calls on COVID vaccine makers to release their safety data. Now? Now? We've got the data. We've got the data. We've got the safety data.

They used us as lab rats. And we know exactly what has happened with this. We don't need them to release the data. We need them to be put in jail, along with Trump and Biden, for pushing this on people and for letting them get away with this. Trump took credit for the three vaccines. They got out.

It was a miracle. It was a miracle that he isn't swinging for this stuff that he isn't in prison for life because, and it's like I said before, this is like murder on the Orient express, everybody on the train grabs a knife and takes a stab at the public, the American public, and the people around the world. They all stabbed us with a jab. They all have killed our society, our liberty, our constitution, and people. And they got away with it. because they're covering for each other. And the press covers him.

People like Tudor Dixon, people like Alex Jones and Infowars, they is 4d chess, right? Maybe it was supposed to be four times the number of deaths. Maybe that was what it was. You think anything new has got to be looked at very number of deaths. Maybe that was what it was. You think? Anything new has got to be looked at very carefully, said Trump. Really? Well, that's not what he did.

He didn't do anything to develop these vaccines, but what he did was he shut down all the testing. That was what was warp speed about it. If they have the facts, they should be made public immediately. They have to be honest with the numbers. If they're going to hold back, that means they're dishonest, right? How do you have any numbers and facts if you skipped the testing? You had one job to do, and you didn't do it, did you? Instead, you came up with a hospital death protocol,

and you bribed hospitals to kill people with ventilators and with remdesivir and with withholding treatment from them. So Dixon said, so will you demand that vaccine companies, that the pharmaceutical companies release their vaccine data to the public so that we can see what they're actually seeing about the side effects of this vaccine? Well, they should do that. You know, we're all into this together. They be doing that and then she finishes up i just love you trump you are our only hope help me obi-wan kenobi right uh what that wuhan lab what came out of there said trump because it it came out of wuhan lab and what they did to the world was unbelievable. $60 trillion in damages. It wasn't China that did that, Trump.

It was you. It was you and the globalists in every country did that to their own people. You didn't have to follow their lead. You didn't have to lock people down. You didn't have to destroy businesses. Maybe it was Ray epps that's who it was it was ray epps it wasn't china it wasn't uh trump it wasn't alex it was ray epps who did that yeah that guy gets around doesn't he and he made so much money doing it too didn't he

the affirmative messages showing this is info, the affirmative message showing the former president is aware of the multitude of vaccine-injured Americans comes as Trump vowed last week to push back against COVID hysteria, which he credits for helping Joe Biden rig the election. Yeah, this is pushing back. The analytics are trying very hard to bring back COVID lockdowns and mandates with all of their sudden fear-mongering about the new variants that are coming. Gee whiz, you know what else is coming? An election. They want to restart the COVID hysteria so they can justify more lockdowns, more censorship, more illegal drop boxes, more mail-in ballots, and trillions of dollars in

payoffs to their political allies heading into the 2024 election. Does that sound familiar? Yeah, it sounds familiar because that's what you did in 2020. Absolutely amazing. They also say earlier this year, this is Infowars still, Trump also declared that if he reelected, he planned to form a task force to probe the quote stunning rise in autism autoimmune disorders obesity infertility serious allergies etc he said that when he was running in 2016 and then he brought in rfk jr to trump tower and um said well i'm going to put you in over

a committee that's going to take a look at this. And RFK Jr. came out and said, yeah, we're going to test these for safety and efficacy and all the rest of the stuff. And he was just using RFK Jr. to bid up his price to big pharmaceutical companies. He made a massive donation. And then he populated, put the CEO of Eli Lilly of eli lilly in as head of hhs alex azar then he put in a pfizer guy and into the fda and who has now gone back to the fda but again you know and for words this is uh the way post-millennial, but it breaking Trump calls for COVID vax makers to release safety data. Nobody but these couple of organizations can look at that Tudor Dixon shameful interview, shameful what she did there and come away with that conclusion. Meanwhile, Ed Dowd, the former BlackRock asset manager and data analyst,

went on the Dr. Drew show and he said death rates are climbing fast, especially with kids. He said the years 2020 and 2021 had negative excess death mortality rates, meaning that the death rate amongst children was less than anticipated for those years. Death rates were down respectively by 9% as the pandemic was raging. Death of children was down by 9%. Again, this was not a pandemic in any sense of the word. It was the actuarial table and their hospital death protocols and their lying statistics.

But it was down 9% in 2020. And then in 2021, it was down 7% at the beginning of the year. And then it soared up. And, of course, that's what you would expect because the kids are locked down. They're not out doing anything. They can't drown in a bucket of water or anything like that. So these rates dramatically shifted to 16% more deaths than anticipated and 22% more deaths than anticipated this year so far.

Well, there you go. The Trump shot. The child killer vaccines that Infowars and the MAGA sycophants want to push out there. Yeah, it's just 4D chess and you are the pawns in all of this. And so when you look at this long history of, you know, take the gun and do the due process later, take the shot. I don't care what your religious objections are, he said.

In May of 2019, as New Jersey, New York, California, were shutting down religious objections, medical objections to the MMR shots and these childhood vaccines that, let's not forget, they kill a massive number of people as well. And Trump said, yeah, they got to take the shot. It's going around. They got to get the shot.

They got to get the shot. Don't tell me he's not in favor of mandates. He's just going to run them out in a different way than Biden does. And it would be less transparent, Lee evil than the way Biden does it. Uh, he later then said, take the job, take the business down. We're going to have to lock you down. Don't worry. A stimulus check is coming later.

It's going to get you used to universal basic income. And then we'll shut down the churches and I'll still get the evangelical vote. Right. And so now this is an article talking about church attendance after the so-called pandemic. It is remarkable that churches reveal the full scope of how the pandemic affected worship attendance and conflict in the pews and much more. Another legacy of Trump, a report titled Back to Normal, the mixed messages of congregational recovery coming out of the pandemic, conducted by the Hartford Institute for Religious Research. And they said attendance is on the rise with Christian denominations. Before COVID-19, worship attendance had a median of 65 people.

Now it is still down to 60. Amazing how small it is. Small number of people that attend church. And they said most people, however, are now still virtually watching. Attendance virtually jumped to a median of 75, which is above the 65 that they saw doing virtual church service. You know how many times we've said church is not a building, right?

It's not. We say, well, that church. It's a church building, but the church is the people. And church is not virtual. Church is a people, right? Church is the people, the called out. People are not getting called out of their rooms to go meet with other people. It's about people, and it's about that mutual aspect, that horizontal aspect that has to

be there for our sanctification, for us to start to grow up and to grow towards God. We have to have that interaction directly with people there's no substitute for that that's the way God designed it he did not design it to be done virtually in terms of money

they said the average median income for the church in 2020 was $120,000 that number has grown to $170,, a 42% increase over the past three years. Wow. So I guess everything's okay, right? Because, you know, if we've got more people, you look at the numbers, if you take the people who are actually physically there and the people who are virtually there, the numbers are up, the crowd is bigger, and the people are virtually there. The numbers are up, the crowd is bigger and the money is way bigger. Now these are the

metrics of mankind. This is not God's metrics. They said, plus the average percentage of church members over the age of 65 increased from 33% to 36% from 2020 to 2023. These are not massive jumps, but they're noticeable statistics considering concerns over the decrease of young people entering the church, which is plummeting, even as membership in the church of LGBT explodes.

Yeah, we're losing that information war, aren't we? So Jill Biden, we're told now has covet uh and breitbart says well um we were told that we weren't going to get it if you got vaccinated you know if you would take trump's shot which remember when trump was president biden said the trump shots would not work and then when biden became, now magically the Trump shots work, except they don't work. And we know that Trump's got to be president according to Tudor Dixon for these shots to work.

Right. I don't know. Again, I'm very suspicious that Joe Biden has a tested positive for COVID. Maybe they, if she actually did get jabbed and I'm skeptical of that, she actually did get jabbed, and I'm skeptical of that, if she did get jabbed, maybe that's what they're testing positive as some remnants of that in her system.

But this is part of a narrative that's being sold. And Breitbart is missing that because they're just going, you know, Trump versus Biden. Let's criticize Biden over this hypocrisy. they will say well look at that you know he said that if you got his shot you wouldn't get covid but now his wife's gotten it twice um so uh you don't have a problem with the shot you have a problem with biden right bright part that's it they don't have a problem with the vaccine let's just score some political points out of this thing for a second time she goes positive now there's two stories on Breitbart about that it's a matter of fact so they're very interested in pointing out the fact that the Bidens

are lying to you but don't point out the fact that the Bidens are lying to you, but don't point out the fact that big pharmaceutical companies and Trump are lying to you as well and killing you. They're all killing you. The Bidens lie and the Bidens kill, and so does Trump and the Republicans. White House Joe Biden is now masking up indoors again. Okay, and again, Trump, don't comply with it this time because now it's biden and i said that i said you know a lot of people will criticize the vaccine a lot of people

criticize these measures that aren't doing it now if biden gets in i was the only thing i was surprised about was just how silent the GOP remained about pharmaceutical stuff because they're totally owned. Even people like Rand Paul, a physician, will come after Fauci for, he says, you're creating vaccine hesitancy by pushing this stuff out to people. That was his problem with it. Aaron Curiati says, the the rise of biomedical security state during the covet era uh yeah it was the trump error right e-r-r-o-r as i said before i called it medical martial law from the very beginning as soon as he did it he says in the new book dr aaron curiotti says that um a debate even by scientists was censored.

Refusal to obey these arbitrary impositions can mean arrest, legal action, as he himself found out, losing one's job. What we saw rolled out in March of 2020 was not a new approach to public health, he said, but a new paradigm of government, of governance, and of controlling populations on a widespread scale. The rise of the biomedical security state. Exactly right. We'll be right back. Unlike most revolutions where the people rise against a real economic oppression,

in our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. Hear, hear! It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly. Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow, it will be something else. ¶¶ Liberty. It's your move. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, I think it was kind of interesting. I saw this headline on the Drudge Report.

The article came from The Guardian. The Immortals. The Immortals. Meet the billionaires who are forking out for eternal life. Oh, wow. A fascinating, often terrifying new podcast. About immortality. Delves into the links that longevity superstars will go to to make 90 the new 50 from swapping blood with the young to designing the first post-humanism

post humans i should say that is um post-humanism it is transhumanism well the immortals that's what they've decided to call this um they're now openly talking about uh blood transference from young people to make these people live longer and pull up that picture again travis uh that guy who is there um he is the billionaire and on the right is his son that he is getting blood from to make himself younger. Uh, and, uh, he's 46 years old. And apart from the fact that, um, you know, he doesn't have a lot of body fat, uh, that doesn't change anything when you get a, um, uh, a, uh, blood transfusion, he's obviously working out a lot, but you know, he's, you can still see that he's older than the guy on the right.

So eventually, he is going to die. He's not going to be immortal. Even if he makes 90 the new 50, he's still going to die. And it reminded me of that quote from C.S. Lewis that you probably heard. He said, there are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations die. Cultures die.

Art dies. Civilizations. These are all mortal. And their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, who we work with. And their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, who we work with, who we marry, who we snub, who we exploit. Immortal horrors or everlasting splendors. And he went on to say that the ordinary people that you see walking down the street will one day be transformed into something that is so hideous that you could not bear to look at it,

or become so glorious that you would be tempted to bow down and worship it. There are no mere mortals. And these people are selling you lies. Brian Johnson was paying hundreds of thousands of dollars to infuse one liter of his teenage son's youthful plasma into his own aging bloodstream every month. I've never paid more attention to what he is eating because what he was eating was going into my body. He didn't care about his son's health until he started trying to parasitically live off of his son's health. He says that on his new podcast, The Immortals.

He continues to pay $2 million a year for a research team to investigate how we can live longer. Isn't it amazing that someone who has that much money is so afraid of death he's obsessed with it he's always looking over his shoulder because death is just a half a step away from him tomorrow is not promised to any of us the rest of today is not promised to any of us as a matter of fact uh one of these billionaires and this is based on um first this is based on the podcast this is also the article guardian was based on a bbc radio series a technology reporter and psychologist uh alex krotoski a woman, and she is fascinated by all this stuff and falls for it, hook, line, and sinker. She said it took us ages to find somebody who would talk to us. Strangely, people who take blood from the young are a bit reserved.

Who would think, right? Who would think that they would be reserved about that? Yeah. Doctors have told Johnson that he has the heart of a 37 year old and the lungs of an 18 year old well i don't know but he better be careful about the um blood that he gets because we've seen a lot of people or younger than that dying of heart attacks after the trump shot's been gone around the world uh but um he says uh she's going through all this stuff and doing the research this bbc reporter says it felt like all these sci-fi dreams could be made possible

including technological singularity you know the merging of man and machine right technology merging with humanity to create a post-human existence existence ultimately she says this means that we shall be immortal beings well you already are lady you will live forever in one form or the other and uh yet uh they're trying to make this fallen world their home as long as they can hang on to it yeah I understand nobody wants to die it's like you know birth and death are difficult transitions aren't they for all of us and and yet this is a fallen world this is the world that's been cursed three times so plasma transfusions to prevent aging became a reality in 2017 with Jesse

Karmazin's vampiric startup Ambrosia. Hundreds of clients with a median age of 60 would pay $8,000 to take part in what was essentially still a trial. The FDA pushed back on it, but these people are still talking about it. She says they're quick to add that this isn't going to have a benjamin button effect this is not geared to make old people look young what we're talking about she says here is really kind of more of a fountain of middle age oh yeah that's where you want to stop the clock right middle age not youth not a fountain of youth but middle age last year amazon founder third richest person in the world, Jeff Bezos, reportedly invested in Altos Labs, a startup working on cellular rejuvenation programming. PayPal co-founder Peter Thiel, meanwhile, has invested millions in the Methuselah Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to make 90 the new 50 by 2030. wow lots of numbers there it's a numbers guy i guess well here's a number for you 969 that was

the age that methuselah lived you know you may live to be as old as methuselah you know you may make 900 the new 50 but you're still going to die and stand before God one day. And what are you going to say about it? Each of us has gone their own way. Each of us needs to do something about that rebellion with God, but we don't, do we? And while they're talking about how they're going to live forever, how they're going to merge with machines,

and of course, just like Peter Thiel, Elonk is all about that as well you know merging with machinery you have as jonathan turley points out a british court has ruled that a competent and conscious patient can be denied life sustaining treatment against her will see this is what the common people get. The billionaires will get their life extension stuff. They'll get to feed on the blood of others and that type of thing to keep their miserable existence on this planet going as long as they can. But the rest of us, we will be ushered off into the hereafter sooner than maybe even we would like to go.

And this is interesting in terms of the court case. Jonathan Turley teaches law. He writes columns about these legal issues and everything. I always enjoy his analysis here. But what makes this interesting is the brazenness of the court system and the doctors who say well she's competent she's conscious but because she's not following what we say to do we're going to deny health treatment to her which Jonathan truly doesn't connect the dots to what was being done in these sick houses we call hospitals. That's what the Germans call them.

Krankenhaus. Sick house. Well, they became sick houses under the hospital death protocols of Donald Trump. And they were letting people die, refusing treatment to them for a wide range of things. He says, in my tort class, I often compare the different approaches and doctrines in the U.S. and the U.K. One of the most pronounced is the position and the authority of

physicians on issues like consent and malpractice. This week produced a particularly striking example. Why do you think that might be? Would it be because they have government-controlled healthcare? Mm-hmm. care yeah and as government exerts more and more control over health care and as trump set that precedent bar really much higher than it was before bureaucrats controlling our health care

in the name of public health but now fauci says well you know when confronted with the idea that the mass stuff never worked as he said from the beginning oh yeah well maybe it doesn't work for the public health, but it's for the individual. No, you did all this stuff in the name of public health, and now you're just, again, like Trump reinventing himself and lying about it. The right-wing media is happy to point out the lies and the reinvention of Fauci, but they don't want to talk about how Trump has lied and reinvented himself. British doctors said Jonathan Turley are seeking to take a 19-year-old, critically ill female patient off intensive care despite her objections and those of her parents. Unlike most such cases, the woman known only as ST is conscious and communicative, yet the doctors argue that she's not being realistic about her chances of survival from a rare disorder. Now, a British court has agreed and ordered that she can be placed on end-of-life care against her will.

Well, again, it goes back to the case of Terry Chaveau. Take a look at that. But we saw, have we forgotten so quickly, are we not allowed to talk about the fact that they put do not resuscitate orders on people in the hospital? Because the hospitals are being lavished with cash to do what Trump and Fauci, his master Fauci, wanted done? You know, Fauci, do this, you know, and give them cash if they do that, you know. Yeah, sure, whatever you say. I've played for you. I'm going to, whatever you say. I've played for you. I won't play it again today. I've played it the last two shows.

The commercial that Trump did, clip after clip, when he was running for president in 2020, clip after clip of Fauci praising him for doing everything that Fauci told him to do. How pathetic is that? And of course, a lot of these orders were, you know, put people on do not resuscitate, separate them from their family. You know, you got patients that, uh, no, no, I, you know, I don't want, no, we're going

to put you on do not resuscitate, keep the family away. Cause the family was pushing against that as well. Again, this is a disturbing case, and Jonathan Turley is right about this particular case, but it is heartily unique. These are the Trump rules for medical care now that he put in place. Yes, it's being extended by the Biden administration,

but it is the Trump precedent. Her deeply religious family has spent their entire life savings on her care, and they complained that a transparency order requested by the hospital barred their ability to give details on the case to help raise public funds. When they censor and they redact what you're allowed to say, they cynically call it a transparency order.

Anything but that. What is so remarkable about the case is not that it is an infant or a comatose patient. Because, you know, we should be able to kill babies at will, right? Because we do that. We do that all the time. So we're not killing a baby? How many times have I talked about the pro-life issue? So if you're going to kill a baby, you're going to kill people at all stages of life.

At the end of life, even a 19-year-old. You either value life or you don't value it. The rest of it's just a number. Age is just a number. It's the principle that matters. Two psychiatrists testified that she's mentally competent to make decisions about her own care. She is able to communicate reasonably well with her doctors and speech therapists that are there.

But here's what the court said. Nevertheless, the judge found that she's mentally incapable of making decisions for herself. Why? Because, quote, she does not believe the information she has been given by her doctors. Well, that applies to all of us for the last three years, doesn't it? If you don't believe the authorities, right, the public health authorities, or the authorities of the hospital or these other places, well, then, you know, we have to kill you.

And so we have the legal authorities and the medical authorities are out there and saying, well, we're not going to even let you try anything else. Again, you can't have ivermectin, you can't have HCQ. These are the, you know, this surprises him because they're so flagrant about this but all these principles were established under the trump regime and my judgment because she does not believe the information she's been given by her doctors writes the judge absent that belief she cannot use or that information as part of the process of making the decision so information which has been shown to her is reliable and true. We know that because we know that. Because I say so. Because I'm science. That type of thing. The court has

told her that, the court has told that she has cognitive and communicative abilities to make such decisions. However, because the court disagrees with her desire to continue to fight to live, she is treated as effectively incompetent. Death by authorities. Cause of death, put it down there, authorities. Authoritarianism, both medical and legal. Now, this is an item of hope. This is both Democrats and Republicans agreeing in California that they're coming together, left and right, teaming up to fight sex changes for kids in California. They said the real question comes down to, are you okay with removing healthy body parts of a child? Are you okay with that?

And do you realize then what that does to that child for the rest of their life, the misery that they're in? How many of these kids have now committed suicide because of bottom surgery? Activists in California from both political parties are banding together to put measures on the state ballot that would ban child sex change surgeries and ensure fairness in women's spaces. Protect Kids California filed three statewide ballot initiatives Monday, and the group leaders believe that they have bipartisan support on the issues. It's a group that was formed by a Republican man and a Democrat woman. They filed three statewide ballot initiatives to ban child sex changes and puberty blockers to keep men out of women's sports and to require school officials to inform parents if a child wants to transition his or her gender.

They said the media and the California legislators make it seem as if it is a Democrat versus Republican issue, but it's not. I would say the majority of Democrats agree with us on this, said Sophia Laurie, a female rights activist who spoke at the announcement of the initiatives. Well, I think that remains to be seen. What I am seeing is very much a polarization of political parties. I hope this is true. If it is true, and to the extent that it is true, we should welcome any of these people as co-belligerents on this particular fight. Try to help these kids to try to stop this. But again, what about protecting the actual beauty of life?

Do you really understand how precious life is? This is an even more hopeful story from live action news. Marianne West was working at Lakeview Hospital in 2001 when she helped a mom to deliver a little girl named Kelsey. 22 years later, that baby, that baby girl grew up to marry a boy named Tyler, who was Marianne's son. How about that? She delivered the little girl that would later marry her son. Tyler and Kelsey were looking at Kelsey's baby photos together when they noticed something incredible.

Hey, that's my mom, Tyler said. And it looks like she was your nurse. Not only that, but she was the nurse who took Kelsey's footprints for her birth certificate. Kelsey said, the bride, I thought it was really cool. It made me feel grateful to know that I had this tie to my new family. I always wanted to have a good relationship with my future parents, and it also confirmed that I want to be with Tyler for the rest of my life.

The two sets of parents met at a pre-wedding dinner where Stacy thought that Marianne looked familiar. Kelsey had told me that Marianne was a labor and delivery nurse, and she and Tyler had joked that maybe she had brought me some ice chips when I was in the hospital, Stacy said. I thought the odds were slim that she would have been there, but in the back of my mind, I guess I wondered, could she be? Stacy further said that Marianne stood out as her favorite labor and delivery nurse, so much so that she included her picture in Kelsey's baby book. She was with me the entire time, telling me, honey, it's going to be okay. When Kelsey was born, she handed her to me and said, welcome to the world, princess. This is what we're missing.

You know, there's two ways we can approach this thing. We can show the people the horror of the procedure what is actually involved in the words of a person who watched it happen as the ultrasound technician we can also show people the beauty of life of families she said 22 years ago, I had this cute couple in labor. I remember she was really nervous because she was having her third baby. Three children under three. She said, I'm not ready for a third, and I don't know how the first two are going to handle this and i had just given birth to my third a year ago and was just letting her know you got this it's fine you see that's what the democrats and it is the democrats in most states um it's almost um again i hope that

this is an emerging trend uh but i am not hopeful that Democrats who have been so ensconced in this cult of death are going to pull back from mutilating young kids because they won't pull back from mutilating babies. And they don't want counseling for people. They don't want words of encouragement. They don't want someone to come alongside them and say, yeah, you can do it. I've done it. They don't want other options for people, even if you can't do it. There's adoption out there. They don't want that. And of course, the Biden Department of Justice won't do anything about the people who attack and burn down these pregnancy counseling places either.

Marianne explained that the third baby she was talking about was her son Tyler, who became Kelsey's husband. When I was talking to Stacy and explaining that to her, I just had my third baby and I'm a working mom. And I told that to her. And then that baby was Tyler, who married her daughter when she grew up. So we'll take a quick break and we will be right back. Using free speech to free minds it's the david knight show well i want to say thank you to uh rumble rcf 2020 thank you very much for the tip

as uh but we all with unveiled faces i can do things by taking a verse out of its context. Thank you. And on Rockfin, James S, thank you very much for the tip, both of you. And joining us now is our guest. He has, as I mentioned at the beginning of the program, he's a Chilean German lawyer with a master's in investments. He is a director of the Friedrich Hayek Chair in Santiago, Chile. He has been a visiting scholar in Stanford University's Hoover Institution. His opinions have been published by the Wall Street Journal, the Washington Post, Quillett, Forbes, Newsweek, Washington Examiner. But he's had a lot of influence in latin america and when i saw this book here the book that he's

written is called the street economist best-selling book in chile spain and many other latin american countries currently being published in five different languages and now it has been published in english and when i saw that i wanted to talk to him about it because it is uh the street economist 15 economic lessons everyone should know and i really as we look at this uh this guy who just finished in the primaries in argentina javier malay i thought well you know it's um i i wonder if he was, you know, a Ron Paul type of a libertarian in terms of his economics.

And we've got to get rid of the central bank and the problems that it's caused and everything. And when I saw this, I thought, well, maybe, um, he's one of the many,

many people in Latin America that have read this book. Uh, you know, when, the wall street journal does a piece on Javier Malay, they just talk about his hairstyle. But I would like to know what was on his mind. And regardless of whether or not he was influenced by this, this looks like a very good book.

So joining us now is Alex Kaiser Behrens von Hohenhagen. Thank you for joining us, sir. Thank you very much for having me. It is very interesting to see this, and we really do need to have some economic education in all these countries. And I don't know, perhaps more so in America than even in Latin America, because we've been so miseducated and disinformed in our schools. So it's great to see something like The Street Economist. But let me begin before we start talking about what's in the book uh do you have any idea if um if your book has had some influence with javier uh malay or if i'm pronouncing his name correctly or um certainly perhaps with the people who voted for him what do you think well actually javier milay presented my book in argentina last year oh okay, that makes sense.

I could see the connection there. So he presented it, right? He presented it. He thinks it's one of the best books that has ever been written as a general introduction to economics for the general public. Okay. We are good friends. I have to make a disclosure there. We are good friends, brothers in arms, so to speak.

I've been doing the same thing in Chile and other countries in Latin America that he has been doing in Argentina. And he cites my books in interviews on television and so on. So I now have a lot of fun in Argentina as well. Well, then my hunch was correct. That's good. I'm glad to know that because I really would like to know what is on his mind and not just how he styles his hair. That's the Wall Street Journal. You think that they would want to talk about his economic theories because they don't want to talk about his economic theories. We've got to keep people in the dark about that. But you have much to say about what is wrong with our centrally planned economy and why socialism is so ingrained in the younger generation. And how do we fix that? More generation and how do we fix that more importantly?

How do we fix that? I think the problem is economic illiteracy and it has always been the problem. If we remember the great economist Ludwig von Mises in the early 20th century, he was saying that if people understood basic economics, you wouldn't have socialists around because in order to uh for people to believe all of these um nonsensical ideas which sound very attractive we have to accept that uh you need ignorant people who don't understand anything and you know i i have spent a lot of time in the united states i'm also german and i have also uh been spending a lot of time latin america and i see the same problem everywhere it's most people don't understand economics and especially young people get seduced by the

messages they see on television by the paul kruxmans of the world and by the stiglitz of the world by the way stiglitz has done an awful job in Latin America supporting all our socialist dictators. It's unbelievable. I wrote an article for the Washington Examiner. And so I wrote the book because I thought, you know, I have to do something that people can read about economics without the math, the graphs without all of this um jargon that's for specialists and it became a best-selling book everywhere and now even in mongolia they want to publish now in poland now also in russia in different countries so i think i i i you know i hit a nerve like we say in german because there was we were lacking something like this for explaining very simple terms to the general public.

Well, that's great. Because growing up, even being in school 50 years ago, they never taught economics to us. We didn't get economics until we got into college. And because you said there's things like math involved in it. So if you've got something there that is accessible to people without math explains the principles to them i always had a big issue where we were taught and when we got economics we were not uh taught mrs or hayek we were taught canes

you know the uh the idea that you know the the money that uh that the government spends, that there's no basis in reality that it's never going to come crashing down on anybody. But you have to manage your own personal stuff, but the government doesn't have to manage its stuff. That kind of nonsense. And that always never really set well with me, even with all the math and the hand-waving, it never set well with me. But you're setting up with this, as you explained, 15 economic lessons everyone should know. It is really set up without a lot of math and general principles, is how it's explained, right? Tell us a little bit about that.

I say on positive economics, it means I describe how the world works with zero math and not even a footnote. So it's in 120 pages. I explain, for instance instance price theory in a couple of pages i explain what capital is and how capital is formed and why it's it's good for society to have a lot of capital and rich people and not the other way around i explain you know free trade and why is it why it's important and a theory of innovation all of that with very, very simple examples. It's what Mies is called crucial economics.

You start with the individual and you know, a barter economy. And so you can explain, for instance, that prices are not formed because you have money, they're formed because you have exchange. And even in a barter economy, you would have prices. And so this is a very basic idea that many people don't understand, really. Because no one teaches, teaches these things, and nowhere, I didn't learn anything about economics at school or university, I had to learn it after I had, you know, I was, you know, my master's and PhDs., this type of things have become

very popular also among different social classes, which is important as well. In Chile, this book has sold over 50,000 copies in a year. It's the most sold book in economics book in history.

It contributed to create a reaction against our current marxist government we have a communist government right now in chile and um and it was crucial in defeating the constitutional experiment that we had last year on september 4th all these um efforts that many people did including me and so if you change how people think then you change the politics of of your country and the problem we have is that universities and media and all of the different instances that you know give credit to ideas are controlled by hard uh hardcore leftists yes and and so what do you expect i mean course, the popularity of socialism is rising in the United States

among Yen Seers and also in Germany and other countries. They know nothing about the history of communism. They know nothing about socialism. I have been spending all of my energy in the last 10 years fighting against socialism in Latin America, where you see Argentina with 150 150 of inflation rate right now ruined country that how in 1896 it was a very liberal country had the highest per capita income in the world and and now it's it's a it's a a really um an example of everything you you wouldn't do it's it's a disaster a complete mess

almost 50 percent of poverty rate and it's it's it's one of the richest countries in the world we can go on with venezuela and other countries i mean and so it's very important for people to understand isn't it that it can happen to anybody anywhere you know especially in america what never happened here and yet it is happening here. As you pointed out, it's this different social class. And I think it really goes back to Antonio Gramsci's idea of the march through the institutions and taking over the institutions. And it's pretty clear that they've taken over the institutions,

educational, academic institutions, governmental, corporate institutions. They've all been taken over by these leftists, socialists, Marxists, whatever you want to call them. But it's also, when you look at it, it's like, you know, Pete Boudigie, which is my nickname for him, our Department of Transportation guy, his father spent his entire life pushing the teaching of Antonio Gramsci, teaching it at Notre Dame. So these people really understand what they're doing.

We just don't understand what they're doing, and they don't want us to understand the consequences of this. They don't want us to understand economics, and that's a key thing. I think it's interesting you said that the book is only 120 pages. Is that correct? Yeah, it's correct. I mean, I wrote it on purpose, you know, a purpose very short, because people can read 500 pages, but 120 pages, 15 lessons, each lesson, like an average of four

pages that you can read. And so it's very, very easy. And it's, I have to tell you, I mean, it's also recommended by very important economists in the United States are Casey Mulligan from Chicago University, Deidre McCloskey, also from Chicago. Then you have, uh, Bill Graham really loved the book. Uh, and you have other Stephen Moore and other people recommending the book. So, um, well, I can't wait to read it. I, usually I read a book before I interview somebody, but, uh, when I saw your bio there, I figured that you had to have something to do with Javier Mollal, unless, you know, or certainly the people who voted for them, you know, would

have seen that. And that's the key thing. You know, we talk about being able to condense it to 120 pages. If somebody really understands a topic, that's the difficult thing is condensing it and explaining it to people concisely. And if you really do understand it, you can explain it concisely. And so that I think that's a really powerful thing that it's such a short book and so many different lessons in that short book without math accessible to everybody. It's something that everybody ought to have, especially homeschoolers, I think, should definitely get this for their kids.

Yes, I absolutely agree and I see how this is changing minds in Spain in Latin America Argentina Chile Colombia and different parts so now it's in Germany it's being a success also the book because it has been published in German and so I think in the United States it will make a crucial contribution so young people and other people you know under basic economics and it's part of the battle of ideas that uh hayek was talking about all the time and it's it's i've read gramchi in in you know i've spent a lot of time reading him and i i'm glad you're mentioning gramchi because not many people in the united states not even people who are trying to defeat the left knows about gramchi and this is the the most lethal Marxist thinker that has ever

existed in my opinion, because he really understood that it was not about the violent revolution like Marx and Lenin thought. It was about, you know, colonizing people's minds. And when you do that through the march, I mean, using this long march through the institutions then the system will fall apart on its own because people will will not wanna have the system in the first place they wanna you know will have to have something different it's like what you see now with the woke movement like they people trying to replace a national anthem people hating the flag hating the ideas of the founding fathers. That's if they are successful with their cultural revolution, then you lose the United States. And if you lose the United States, you lose the whole West. There is no other place, you know, where we can go or that could help, you know, countries that are being ruled by socialists.

And so I'm very worried about the United States for me is the key battleground and that's why I was you know so happy that it was published in English because I want to join the fight and I want to convey this message I've lived in Germany and I know how socialists think in Latin America and I've seen so many countries being ruined by leftist ideas even chile which was the most prosperous country in latin america yes thanks thanks to the chicago school you know of economics and and people under friedman and harberger and all of them they came

they made the reforms and and chile became the most prosperous country in Latin America. And now we have this Marxist regime again that is destroying everything. So why would you do that to your own country in the United States? And we can't afford to lose this nation. Well, it's a constant fight, and you have to know where the things are laid. Let's talk a little bit about, you talked about the fact that in Argentina, 150% inflation that is happening there. So what causes inflation? are late let's talk a little bit about you talked about the fact that uh in argentina 150 inflation that is happening there so uh what causes inflation well it's very straightforward it's the printing of money in order to you know fund the fiscal deficit in in argentina and it's i

think it's the same for every country this is a law of economics and and of course you have it in the united states it's not a spot as in argentina but you know the problem is that they started to destroy their free market institutions a long time ago uh and and so the problems that they were creating um due to this new government intervention they tried to solve it with more government intervention and what happened was that the more problems the government tried to solve the more problems were created and of the spiral of interventionism and in the end you have a a country that is has completely destroyed its base of its productivity base and then there is no growth and then you have more social problems and then you have to spend more and then you

you take a lot of debt in order to give people things for free and at some point people don't lend you more money anymore and so you have to go to a printing press and you know they are running hot 24 7 because you need to get money from some place and that's how you end up with a 50 poverty rate and 150 inflation rate and you have six million people who are starving to death because they have nothing to eat in a country that produces food for 400 million people. Because Argentina is probably the most productive soil in the world. And it's a huge country.

But socialism ruins everything. And now Javier Millet, what he's really attempting is sort of a revolution in the classical sense. Going back to the roots of Albertian classical liberalism. Alberti was the roots of Albertian classical liberalism,

Alberti was the founder of the 1853 constitution in Argentina. He was a classical liberal who admired the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. And he was very much inspired by their ideas. And following this American model of freedom, Argentina became the wealthiest country in the world at some point.

This idea was work everywhere. And then you had Peron and the collectivists and the Keynesians and the socialists coming in and then they destroyed everything. And of course you had part of the business elites profiting from this because they get

subsidies from government, they get quotas for imports and exports, they get all sorts of benefits from this crony capitalist system, pseudo-capitalist system, fascist system they have there. And they support the Peronists

and Kirchners and this type of course people in the world and this happens everywhere not only in argentina and you know when i look at american culture what most americans know about argentina is avida you know they celebrated it as a like a broadway musical don't cry for me argentina they made a celebrity out of these marxists that destroyed that country. And that's about the only thing that most Americans know about Argentina. And again, that's because, you know, our institutions have been taken over by the Marxists. And so they're going to celebrate other Marxists there. You know, it kind of it kind of reminds me, you know,

you're a street economist. I think you are kind of the Thomas Paine of Latin America. You know, as Thomas Paine changed minds in America at the time of the revolution was common sense and explain things, I think that's the power of a book, the power of ideas to change things. It really is. Yeah. Thomas Paine is a great inspiration. I mean, he's common sense, a book or pamphlet was so decisive in igniting the American Revolution.

And I really believe in the power of ideas. I've seen it myself. We have created a movement with a million followers in Latin America. I've become very popular in different countries in Latin America, also in Spain. And when I'm in Florida, in Miami, uh walking around people stop me because you have all these this migrants coming from venezuela escaping socialism or argentina or different parts and they all know me and so it's fascinating to see how you can really win this war if you have enough people fighting it and you have uh you know you are engaging in this battle of ideas and and and that's why i wrote this book and we

have many people on our site on our camp but they write papers for journals that no one reads that's right so and they don't go like that's why i liked milton friedman so much because he would go to television he would do free to choose you know he would go and and face all the socialists and you have now very good free market economists, maybe not as charismatic as Friedman, but they prefer to stay in the ivory tower and write his papers. And that I think is not really contributing a lot to changing how people think. We need more public intellectuals doing this stuff. And I know that, you know, professional economists, if I wanted to get tenure, my book

would be useless for that. You know, I don't care about tenure, I get about I care about having a world where we can live in freedom, and we can have prosperity. I've seen too many countries in my lifetime being ruined by socialism. Yes, Venice is an example of that I used to go to Venezuela when it was still working and now look at it it's horrible in argentina the same thing i remember going to argentina when the peso was one to one with the dollar and and now like almost 700 pesos per dollar wow but the devalue is massive so this can happen very quickly so So I hope that countries like the United States learn the lesson and don't go down the wrong path. Yes.

You were saying that, you know, 50% poverty rate. Do you have any idea what the median income is in Argentina or even the average? Do you know? Average? I don't. I'm not sure. Sure, but I can tell you that, for instance, if you are a lawyer working for a big law firm in Buenos Aires, one of the best law firms, you are making probably $500 a month. Wow. Wow.

Yeah. So it's very cheap. And I go to Argentina a lot. And because they have capital controls you have to bring cash with you and so you exchange it in the parallel market to the black market they call it the blue market uh yeah they call it the blue market it's very funny and it's to pay for services is so cheap I mean it's it's insane other things are expensive but services people you you can have someone like a you know a cleaning lady or someone you pay like five dollars per hour three dollars per hour wow

it's like it's like it's very sad because young people are living in Argentina and they they are going to Europe if many of them have Italian passports so they're going to italy spain and and a lot of them are coming to the united states if you go to florida for instance miami uh you go to all restaurants many restaurants you speak to people and there are all argentinians who are working as waitresses or you know bartenders or whatever they have studied they have to study architecture or law or economics, and they are working there because they make more money doing that than working in Argentina. Wow. And so it's very sad to see whole generations being destroyed by these, you know, very harmful ideologies. Yeah, when you talk about the downward spiral of, you know, the government comes in and creates a problem,

and then people turn to the government to create the solution of that, and it just creates this downward spiral. One of the things that concerns me is what I've seen in my lifetime. That used to be a hallmark of the left, to think that the government is going to solve our problems that has now been embraced by conservatives and by the right as well uh and so you know now with all this focus on uh you know it's this mindset of centralized control and we just need it's not a problem to have centralized control we just need to have the right people pulling the levers in

washington so we need. So we need Republicans. We need Trump in power instead of Biden or whatever. And that's what the Republicans have bought into. And so you can't even have a discussion with people anymore about policies or about the flaws of a particular candidate or president because they say, well, who do you want to be president? In other words, who do you want to do centrally controlled uh command control economy you know and that's a very scary thing that's one of the reasons why a book like yours is so necessary people have got to get out of this mindset that uh we're looking for the

benevolent dictator no we're not looking for a dictator at all we don't want to have a czar who's going to control our economy from washington doing yeah that's what you have in Russia, by the way, and China like that. And I think that's the problem, because the lesson of the founding fathers has been forgotten. They tried to devise a system of government that would not enable good people to do as much good as they wanted if they had power but that could prevent evil people or stupid people from doing all the harm they could do if they had a lot of power and this should be at the heart of all um you know i would say conservative or um classical liberal uh people because or movement or philosophy because as you say this has been forgotten and now we are in the in in in a world in the worst world because you know if you create structures that enable the concentration of

power once you are not in power you have loaded the weapons for your enemies you know it's unless you you you you think you are going to remain in power forever which is impossible and even if you if you could do it it wouldn't be healthy it would be horrible at some point you would generate problem into a tyrant then unless you believe that you will have this weapon slowed for your enemies once they come into power. And, and so that's why it's so dangerous, this mindset of centralized, um, planning and control, and it's getting worse and worse with the war against cash and the CBDCs and the new technologies of that are being put in place in order to control us all.

We are resembling China more and more in the west. And no one seems to care a lot about this. And, and, and that's horrible because we will end up living in a, you know, sort of dictatorship, digital dictatorship with a human face that will be the different. It will be in the end, it will be the same thing. Yes. And you are, yeah, all these people pushing this agenda, the world economic forum and all and others. Yes, I agree. the same thing yes and you are yeah all these people pushing this agenda the world economic

forum and others yes i agree that's the big threat cbdc central bank digital currency it is a it's not so much a a form of economics as it is an open-air prison which is the way they designed it but i like what you had to say about a system that designed by the founders that a good person can't do as much good as they possibly could, but it prevents an evil person from doing that. That's kind of a corollary to what I've often said about the justice department, a justice system that you want to make sure that whatever tactics you use against really bad people, you've got to be careful about that because those same tactics will be used against good people. Those two things kind of work as a corollary. That's a great one.

I had not heard that before about the power of the presidency, but that is absolutely true. Talk a little bit about the idea of social justice, because it seems to me like this is fundamental to the marketing of Marxism today. Yeah, I wrote a book many years ago. It's called the tyranny of equality, which was a bestselling book in different countries. It's only in Spanish, but, um, social justice, it's a mirage. That's the expression that I used. It's a policy and is being used by politicians all over the world in order to justify

the growth of government, that means the growth of their own power, with the pretense that they are helping other people. It's a fallacy because it's based on the assumption that the results that you get in a free market system where people make decisions on their own about how they want to spend their money and where they want to spontaneous order, like the market producing certain results, the results cannot be unjust by definition. I can be unjust if I attack someone and I destroy someone's property, for instance. But if you have a lightning that destroys your house, you can't say that that's unjust. You can say that's bad luck, maybe. But it's not unjust because there is no human intention or action that created this or caused this destruction of property. And it's the same with the market. It's a little bit of a complex idea, but social justice in the end is being used in order to redistribute a lot of wealth and to make government grow and grow and destroy the free market system with the excuse that you are bringing fairness and justice where you cannot find it and in order to do to achieve that you have to restrict economic freedom and personal liberties in the

extreme if you if you go all the way with a social justice uh you know aim you would have a totalitarian system because and there are actually people who have written this, how will you equalize all opportunities, for instance? If you really argue that it is unjust that you have unequal opportunities because some people have more money to pay for better education and things like that, how will you equalize, for instance, the inheritance that you have from your parents in terms of, you know, I was taught German since I was a kid, so I had an advantage over other kids that weren't taught a second language. And this is being studied by many neuroscientists that if you learn a second language since you are a kid, you have an advantage, a cognitive advantage over others. How would you equalize that, for instance? What about the idea? There are actually some scholars writing papers about

the selection of partners, that we shouldn't have the freedom of selecting the partner that we are going to marry and having children because we tend to select people who are alike, so elites tend to select people who are in the elite and so on. And that creates an unfair advantage over others. So if you go out of social justice, you end up destroying freedom completely. And you have a totalitarian system in the end.

And Hayek won against this. And so I believe it's a fallacy and it's interesting you mentioned this because because javier milan argentina he openly speaks against social justice in the media on television he has been doing so for fifth after for five years already i mean uh already and and and he says it's it's the excuse that politicians use in order to control people's lives and to steal a lot of the money that they are also confiscating via taxation in order to redistribute it. But in Argentina, it's extremely corrupt.

This happens everywhere. Argentina is extremely corrupt. This happens everywhere. Argentina is extremely corrupt. So you give the money to your friends or to the interest groups that are helping you. So I think it's a myth and we have to get rid of it altogether because it's a fallacy and it's creating a lot of harm.

And it sounds really... We call it in German a Kampfbegriff. A Kampf is like a fight and begriff means concept. It's a fight concept., we call it in German, a Kampfbegriff. A Kampf, it's like a fight and Begriff, it means concept. It's a, it's a fight concept. It is very useful for the left in order to destroy your arguments and to move forward with their power agenda. But we have to fight it back because it's, it's, it's creating, it's creating enormous, you know, harm to, to people, especially the poorest people. In America, they're very clever about the terms that they use, and they confuse it in people's minds.

They talk about equity versus equality. And so you could talk about equality of opportunity. They want to talk about the equity of results and redistributing it. And it's taken a lot of different forms. You're talking about a fight concept. Oh, they got reparations. And, of course, a lot of that goes back to the mid-century Marxists like Bill Ayers who started pushing this white privilege thing because they realized as the old school Marxists

as opposed to the Gramsci guys they they wanted to have um a conflict they were not having success with class warfare so they wanted race warfare and so that's a big part of what is happening in America I don't know if that is is that something that's been done in Latin America different people groups pitting them against each other by the government I imagine it has it seems like that would be a technique that the tyrants would use. Yes, but, you know, we don't have this race issue, despite the fact that we had even more slaves in Latin America than, you know, in North America.

It's not an issue in Brazil, for example. And they had, I think only Brazil had more slaves than the United States. And no one cares, no one speaks about this. And so, traditionally in Latin America, the divide that the populace try to create is between the wealthy and the rest, you know, and oligarchs and the rest um not so much along along this identitarian type of uh of issues which i think are even worse because uh once you establish that the relevant thing is not the content of your character and that you know i judge you by your actions and the content of your character and that you know i judge you by your actions and the content of your character then you create a tribalist society which is completely i mean it's incompatible with the promise of the uh declaration of independence and the founding fathers and the

whole american experiment yes because because the united states is about one idea basically which is moral equality we have the same dignity as human beings and we are all equal in the sense that we are we are all individuals who share the same dignity and we have each one has an all a consciousness and we are responsible for our own you know decisions and acts and so i can speak with someone who is black or who is gay or whatever and i see someone who is equal to me because i can see that this by the fact that we have these obvious differences we are the same in terms of dignity and in terms of the way we behave in the world in the sense that we have a consciousness and that we are responsible for our own decisions and acts.

But the minute you say it's not relevant that you are an individual with your own consciousness, but the color of your skin is the relevant issue then you create tribes and these tribes are in existential opposition to the other tribes so it's blacks against the white people and against the latinos basically the white heterosexual guy oppressing everyone else that's that's more or less the idea and and when you start with this rhetoric then of course you end up hating everything that white as heterosexual people have created historically which is basically western civilization yes including american experiment and so and and curiously enough this was the way that carl schmidt the famous legal scholar that was close to the Nazis in Germany, defined politics.

He defined politics as a conflict between enemies and friends and basically as a tribal thing where you would see the other group as someone who would threaten your existence and you would have to get rid of the other group. And this is the return to fascism. And people are not aware of this. And if you cannot have a diverse society like the American society, unless you have a powerful story that unifies everyone. Unless you have, you know, common principles upon which everyone agrees on. And that's why Martin Luther King, Frederick Douglass, all of them said, yes, the principles of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence are the right principles.

But we want them to be real also for us. That's right which is particularly fair and and and it's an obvious development of the uh ideal of freedom but once you now you have all these people telling you uh that these principles in themselves are racist and have created systemic racism in the united States. And therefore, equality before the law is just an illusion. It doesn't work because you have all this invisible ways that the system is racist. And therefore, you have also to get rid of equality before the law because it's giving you the impression that the system is fair. So it's deceiving you while the system is

really unfair and systemically racist and and when you start down that road you destroy a country completely you destroy the american experiment and you end up in civil war or you end up in in in permanent strife between groups and uh the destruction of annihilation of freedom I mean a diversity American society will never work with identitarian politics in an identitarian philosophy it would it would collapse into chaos I assure you that so we have to be very careful and fight back against this woke left, which, by the way, are all inspired neo-Marxist ideas coming from France and Germany, right? From the Frankfurt School in Germany. It's all Marxism, cultural Marxism, basically.

Yes, yes. That's a big part of it, the Franklin School and entertainment, the rest of that, you know, as you're pointing out, that really has been that idea of equality and it's very well said, you know, the idea that we're going to take that principle and we're going to expand it to everybody, what Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King wanted. And yet we have Joe Biden. The one thing I remember about him going back decades when it was the confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas, Joe Biden was absolutely outraged. Clarence Thomas would have written about natural rights, which is the fundamental basis of this. You know, from Thomas Jefferson to Martin Luther King, it was about natural rights. And so, you know, Joe Biden has been an authoritarian.

He's been opposed to those fundamental principles of america for decades i don't know who's running his administration now it doesn't seem to be like he's running it but you know he is he's the perfect person for this because it is what they are using to pull down america uh the pillars that have held us up have been the ideas of um of individual liberty and equality before the law and equality of opportunity, that type of thing. You know, when you talk about it'll pull America down into civil war, are you familiar with the works of Strauss and Howe in terms of the fourth turning and things like that, in

terms of the guys who coined the term millennial, they see that we, they had predicted back in the nineties that there would be, you know, about every, they went back a long time through history about every 80 years, about every four generations, there'd be a major restructuring of society.

So they went back to, you know, world war two and the great depression. Prior to that, they had a civil war prior to that they had the american revolution but they went back like 500 years and identified this pattern they predicted that the mid 2000s there'd be some kind of a worldwide economic crisis and they would start this chain that we were all essentially at this point in time we're all synced together

and globally in the same cycle that would kick kick off this global push that would be completed just before 2030. I've always thought that it was very interesting that they picked the year 2030 for this. And I think they're very cognizant of this cycle of history. And you look at what people are doing in Silicon Valley, pushing universal basic income, pushing central bank digital currencies and all the rest of this stuff. It seems to me like they're cognizant of this and they want to have this kind of chaos that makes it easier for them to restructure society in the same way that things happen

with the industrial revolution or the agrarian revolution. What do you think about that in terms of times that we're in? You know, I'm not sure because you have so many technological innovations coming like artificial intelligence and you have a crypto sphere and you have all of all of those things in robotics no one is really sure what is going to happen is in artificial intelligence going to be able to control us all is it it's a debate we are having now um so it's very hard to make predictions in that sense with a time framework although some people like elon

musk i think i've read that he said in five years or seven years we will have artificial general intelligence and it will take over if i'm not will be the end the end game for us probably i'm not sure i hope it doesn't come to happen but but what i think um it will happen for sure is that polarization will increase and now we have the new technologies where you have the deep fakes and so you can't even know if someone who is i don't know really now now, I couldn't know if I'm speaking to you because you could be about artificial intelligence. You know, it happened to a major of Berlin in Germany that she believed that she was, some years ago, she was speaking to the major of Kiev in Ukraine the um klitschko the former boxing champion and and when she left the meeting her advisors came and told her it wasn't klitschko and he was speaking with it was the same voice it was everything's name in russian because she spoke russian

and and you know so so this is going to be have dramatic effects on the public sphere and and uh it's going to polarize i think even more the our societies like social networks like facebook and instagram and in twitter have played a huge role in creating a divide uh that didn't exist before so not everything has been positive and i think this is going to be to get even worse and and that's why i worry so much that the immortal and eternal principles that inspired the american uh independence and experiment if you want to call it like that um remain alive, because the only thing that will save us, it's people with clear ideas in their heads and the right values. And otherwise,

you know, all these different factors will play a role in destroying us and or turning us into something like china or russia because if you have an autocrat probably it's easier to control everything um so yeah you know when you george gilder has looked at the uh the uh technological um uh people in control in silicon valley and he's referred to them as neo-marxists. And I think it's not a coincidence that these people are pushing universal basic income. When we had Michael Bloomberg running for president, he made that same statement. He said, look, we've had people who used to do farming. We can replace them with machinery and technology.

Then we had the Industrial Revolution. And then he says, now the smart ones of us are looking how we're going to take everybody's job. And now we just got to figure out how we're going to pacify people to keep them from grabbing guillotines. That's what he had to say, keep them from grabbing guillotines and coming after us. So there is a sense that, you know, they want more and more centralized control. And that's why it is so important for us to understand the importance of decentralization and understand, as your book points out, economics and human values and not accept these substitutes. I mean, we look at how artificial intelligence is being used. Perhaps we need to change it from artificial to authoritarian intelligence because it's increasingly being used to monitor and to spy on people now it's being weaponized for censorship in real time so these are just tools of bad human nature and i think the the we have to fight that with

understanding uh human nature understanding the systems and understanding why things were set up the way they were in america because human nature hasn't really changed. Our tools have changed radically, but human nature has remained the same and the nature of tyranny and the nature of freedom has remained the same too, hasn't it, Alex? Yeah, and I believe that's why freedom is more important than ever, that we all endorse this um this um cause for individual liberty because technologies make it very easy for a centralized authority to get to destroy our freedoms i mean if you if you really read the classical books and fiction like orwell's 1984 or red bar ray uh br berries uh fahrenheit or you know aldous haxley brave new world these are all dystopias or totalitarian dystopias where uh technology plays a crucial role without technology you couldn't have these surveillance states this um you know absolute control over people's lives so uh i'm very worried because

i see a trend in the west of using these technologies um in order to destroy privacy in the center the government will know everything i mean the last thing that we i mean that they will come up with is like putting cameras in our bedrooms and things like that. It's just the, it's the only thing that you know, they, they, they have not done yet, but, uh, at some point they will have a big data working on us and they will know exactly where we are at any minute, uh, you know, and what we are doing, what we are buying, what we are selling, what illnesses we have, everything they will know. And that's the minute when we have lost our freedoms. Yes.

Because it will be very easy for them to control us when they have all this information, and the machines will do that for them. And we have to stop it somehow. You know, let me ask you, since, you know, and ask you, and while we're talking about liberty and we're talking about economics, of course, the crux of that matter is the push for central bank digital currency. We know that's being pushed

in every country of the world at some level of development. And a couple of questions. First of all, what is the status of that in Chile and in Argentina, Brazil, Latin America? What is the status of central bank digital currency there in those areas? Well, the Chilean central bank has come out with a project in order to create digital peso. So I've been told that this is just a plan and they are not going to do it, but I'm not sure.

The European Central Bank wants to do this, and when they start doing that presidents of the central banks in the world, and they went all to MIT, Harvard, or this school. So they are sort of from the same background and they're friends, more or less. And they meet and they push the same agenda everywhere. I think there are issues to deal with but uh i'm sure that at some point it will be also something that they wanna they will wanna um try there over there but if the united states states does not get on board with it uh because there are states like florida saying no we are not doing it then it's harder for the whole world western world of this this to implement the central bank

digital currencies. There will be countries that will do it. I think Europe will do it, but Europeans don't really appreciate freedom so much, so they don't care. And some Latin will try to do it, but not all of them. But if the United States gets on board with this and you have a digital dollar and so on, then I think the whole world would follow. It's very hard to stop it then. Yes.

It sounds like they're telling the people the same type of thing that they're telling us that, you know, don't worry about it, even though we call it Fed now. It's not really happening now. It won't happen until Congress gives us the okay or whatever. And as you have people try, the other part of it is we know what they want to do, regardless of what they say. We know what's really in their plans and in their heart. But the other side of this is the awareness of the people. And that's the thing that concerns me about it. When we have polls in America and they ask people about CBDC, there's not really a lot of opposition to it. But if you go down the list

and you talk about the different things, you know, rationing people's food usage based on their carbon credits and all the rest of the stuff, stopping people from being able to buy stuff preemptively, tracking everything they do, being able to confiscate money, putting time

limits, putting geolocation limits on where they can spend money and all the rest of the stuff people hate it when you explain it bit by bit but there's not much awareness of the thing itself and even when you had desantis take it on as you mentioned and said well we're not going to allow it we're going to prohibit it being used in commercial transactions by changing the ucc code and saying that cbdc is not going to be allowed, not an American CBDC, not a foreign CBDC. He does this press conference, calls it Big Brother Digital Money, and the mainstream media at the end of the press conference, all they want to do is ask him questions about Trump's indictment. So I mean, you have to shut this stuff down that are the key issues and uh and so i guess that's

the question is there any awareness because there's not enough here in america about the evils of cbdc is there much awareness in latin america by the population there about the cbdc you know i think nine in ten people have no idea what cbdc's are and this is even in europe or united states latin america more or less the same no because we have not developed as much it's harder in latin america to get rid of cash altogether you have huge sectors of the economy that are informal people live out of you know being able to pay with uh bills physical bills and so it will be hard for them to get rid in Mexico for instance or in Colombia or even in Chile to completely get rid of physical money uh and that's an advantage of not being as advanced probably but uh in sweden

for instance they have already gotten rid of cash more or less um i don't think they have a cbdc but uh it will come i'm sure oh yeah oh yeah and so we have to explain this because people are not aware and most people don't even know really what money is all about. And I have a lesson about that in the book, you know, about this money and how it comes into existence. But we have to speak about this again and again. I think the scientist is doing a great job, but we have to um you know bring more people into this because only that change only cbdc's if that were successfully introduced in the united states would destroy most of your freedoms yes i mean it would become really a serve of the state and and we we can't allow that to happen and and as i say if the

united states states doesn't do it then it's much harder for other countries to to follow so to to do it um because the financial system the core of the financial system is the United States. The reserve currency of the world is still the dollar. So it will be harder for our central banks in other parts of the world to do it. It's not impossible. It will be harder. But if the United States does it, then automatically everyone will do it. I agree. Yeah, let's talk a little bit about the state of the black market economy,

or as they call it, the blue market economy. Because that is the sort of thing that I think increasingly Americans who are concerned about this, who do understand about CBDC, we look at it and we say, well, what is our fallback position if we lose politically in this? And that's really a black market economy. A black market economy where uh will there be paper cash is that how it is operating i presume in in latin america is gold a silver is that a

factor there in latin america uh for people to uh or is it you know how do they how give us some idea of what the uh the black market of the blue market economy looks like it works it really works with the dollar everywhere it's it's in venezuela it's the dollar and venezuela has a dollarized economy basically now uh not officially but you know everyone and we we use the dollar argentina as well actually argentinians have i think it's the second country in the world with more dollars in cash after the united states because everything is dollarized. You go, you buy a house and you bring, of course, you do not declare a real value that you are selling it for because then you have to pay very high taxes. So you declare a much lower value that is paid to you in peso, but 80% is paid to you in cases with

dollars. And so you get like a million dollar and you have it under your mattress at home uh and this is this is literally the case you have it well in a safe at home or whatever but you you have the cash and but that's because the dollar is still working and and it's you know it's not a cbtc it has not become a type of currency the the day it becomes a cbc type of currency probably we will start using gold or something like that i get silver um and the same will happen maybe with uh people in the united states i mean you would have your own currencies in different states, probably based on silver,

like going back to the past, like it used to be the case. Because I don't see a way around that. You don't want politicians to control how you spend your money, when and where, and to know everything you are doing. You would not be able to buy

something from a pharmacy without the government knowing that you are ill of cancer, for instance. I mean, they will know everything. And so I guess there will be a reaction against it, and probably will be a big issue in terms of states versus the federal government. So it can be dangerous as well.

That is a key thing, I think, for Americans, because Americans have never had really much experience with a black market economy at all. And so we're at a disadvantage. I've talked to people who've lived in other countries, and it's like, oh, yeah. There's always this underground black market economy of barter or, you know, American dollars and things like that. Jim Rogers years ago wrote a book, Investment Biker, and he went around the world on a motorcycle and talked about what he saw. And he said one of the ways that you could measure the corruption in a given government was by the difference between the official exchange rate and the, the exchange rate on the street.

So I imagine that's pretty big in Argentina, right? The, the difference between those two exchange rates, right? Yeah. Yeah. A hundred percent different or more difference or more. It's like, uh, it's insane. Uh, yeah, but that's just, this is true. We are used to in Latin America.

We are used to, I call the official economy, which is the politicized economy, where politicians make rules and interview all the time. It's the politicized economy. And so we go around that. And Argentina is very funny. I mean, it's sad on the one hand, but it's very funny on the other hand, because you go to the best hotel in argentina and you pay in cash like chunks chunks of cash like really a kilo in peso because the the um the highest i mean the highest denominated bill they have is like a thousand peso which is like two dollars and so if you go to a good hotel and you you stay there for a week i've done it many times and you have to pay like two thousand dollars in the end for instance you have to to call for a guy

who operates in the blue market he comes to the hotel in disguise and he brings you the cash you give him the dollars so you have like a ton of pesos and you go to the to the reception of the hotel and you have these machines where they can count the pesos like in the banks you know yeah and you don't pay with your credit card so everyone and this is even at the four seasons like it's you know everyone accepts the fact that uh you cannot play by the rules of the game because otherwise everything would be destroyed and so everyone tries to survive and we are people who we are survivors in latin america to some extent so we we are more used to that but i wonder what would happen in the united states used to doing that and also in europe, what would happen when you have, um,

politicians controlling everything in the end, would you just say, oh, it's okay. Like I'm now like a Chinese citizen. I don't care. I don't think so. Uh, I think there will be a rebellion. So, uh, yeah, it's going to be very difficult because people have been weaned into this idea that we're just going to play pass uh pay with plastic for everything and um you know that is

and that's what's happened with sweden uh they just wanted you know not carry cash at all once you start going down that road to cashlessness that gets to be a really dangerous thing because now you don't have the option of that but But yeah, that pretty, that is amazing. That's an amazing story about what that looks like. It has been so interesting to talk to you. Thank you so much. And again, the book is the street economist, 15 economics lessons that everyone should know only 140 pages, no math in it. Folks, this is a book that everybody needs to educate themselves on because this is how they exploit us through our ignorance.

Alex Kaiser Behrens von Hohagen. Did I say your name correctly? Is that correct? Yeah, it's pretty close. OK, thank you so much. It's been a pleasure talking to you. And I hope people do pick up this book. We really do need that education here in America desperately.

Thank you so much, sir. Thank you. As you heard him talk about that, you know, just remember Tony Ardman, our sponsor here, and he set up David Knight dot gold.

Take you to Tony Ardman's wise wolf dot gold. It's going to be a painful transition if they're able to pull this off politically. And quite frankly, I don't see, you know, we're losing the fight to stop these people in many ways. And so we have to take these responsibilities on ourselves. So we have to take the responsibility to decentralize our lives and to not make ourselves dependent on their system. And so we need to opt out. We need to not comply with that. This is as important as not complying with the mask and not complying with the vaccine. They're always trying to pull us in

to their open air prison and their identification system and their privilege. You know, they're granting you a privilege to do everything. And so we need to we need to push back on that. Privilege needs to be a dirty word to us as it is to them. They talk about white privilege and your privilege and this and that. We don't want privileges. We want rights. Our rights come from God, and we don't want privileges that are granted by government. And so that means that we're going to have to take action to do these things on our own.

And it is important to listen to the experiences of people who have lived under communism i grew up in tampa and i knew so many people who had escaped you know cuba as a communist cuba and the parents of the the kids that i knew that were cuban they were radically anti-communist just as anybody who comes from eastern europe is radically anti-communist. But we don't want to learn that lesson the hard way. It's been said many times that experience is an expensive school, but it's the only one that a fool will attend. Well, we don't want to have to go to that school. It's much better for us to clip out of that test by doing our own research, doing our own preparation.

And so an important part of that is making sure that you're going to have a way to operate outside of that system, that they're doing everything they can, pull all the strings to put that together. And one of the biggest things that we have to understand is that we don't want to fall for this mental trap of thinking that our problems can be solved by having the right person and a highly centralized government. mental trap of thinking that our problems can be solved by having the right person and a highly centralized government. Reagan was right when he said government is not the solution, government is the problem. The presidency is not the solution. The presidency is the problem. And so keep that in mind. Some of the things I try to stress to everybody.
