The David Knight Show - 7Feb24 David Knight Show UNABRIDGED

Episode Date: February 7, 2024

Guest host: Gard GoldsmithYou can find Gard on Rokfin: LibertyConspiracy on Substack: gardnergoldsmith.substack.com/on MRCTV.organd on X: @GardGoldsmithGard digs into the vote results from NV, looks at the Military Industrial Complex ties to Nikki Haley, and studies the double-standards of pop media "reporters" who try to prejudice people against Tucker Carlson interviewing Russian President Putin. It's perfectly appropriate to question Tucker's previous work or wonder how close his ties might be to the Deep State, but to see the pop media shills for warmongering and Big Pharma target him merely for going to Russia for an interview reminds many of how often and how vigorously these same pop media figures hid real information about important news, how they currently are VETTING their news through the Israeli Defense Force (this is the case for CNN) and more... Gardner also looks at a breaking story from NH concerning publicly funded theater and publicly-displayed art that is bringing conservatives and leftists into conflict... there's a deeper lesson about freedom, valuation, and morality that can be derived, says Gard, one that even applies to the erroneous popular acceptance of public libraries.Find out more about the show and where you can watch it at TheDavidKnightShow.comIf you would like to support the show and our family please consider subscribing monthly here: SubscribeStar https://www.subscribestar.com/the-david-knight-showOr you can send a donation throughMail: David Knight POB 994 Kodak, TN 37764Zelle: @[e-mail] App at: $davidknightshowBTC to: bc1qkuec29hkuye4xse9unh7nptvu3y9qmv24vanh7Money is only what YOU hold: Go to DavidKnight.gold for great deals on physical gold/silverFor 10% off Gerald Celente's prescient Trends Journal, go to TrendsJournal.com and enter the code KNIGHTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-david-knight-show--2653468/support.

As the clock strikes 13 here on Airstrip One, welcome to The David Knight Show. I'm Gardner Goldsmith sitting in for David Knight, direct from our Russian headquarters. Yes, on today's program, we will be learning all Russian, and of course I will be revealing

my paymasters from Moscow. Join me inside the bunker. Succes! Greetings, one and all. Greetings. Welcome to The David Knight Show. I'm Gardner Goldsmith. It's great to have you along for the ride, everyone, and I hope your morning has started beautifully. We're going to have lots of smiles, as I often say on my show. We're going to turn those political frowns upside down and welcome you to the David Knight Show. I'm sitting in for David, who's a little under the weather today. So from now until noontime Eastern time, we will gather and have a great time. You can join us inside the Rumble Chat, inside the Rockfin Chat. Watch us on DLive. Watch us on David's Twitter slash X feed. And of course, you can find my work at MRCTV, the Media Research Center's television arm. And every Monday through Friday at 6 o'clock Eastern Time, you can join me and the fellow Conspirators for Freedom on Liberty Conspiracy Live. into additional information to provide context and perhaps some intellectual ammunition to take

with us so that we can pass on the lessons of liberty to our progeny and our friends. Welcome to the program, everyone. David, I hope you're feeling better. Travis, thank you so much for your help. It's amazing to be in touch with everyone. And you in the audience, thank you for your support. Don't forget, if you want to contribute to David's show, you can always find all those links at thedavidknightshow.com. You can contribute as well here inside Rockfin or Rumble, and that is always beneficial as a person who's filling in for the man, David Knight. I always hope that I can engender a few people to support the program and so that I haven't let my side down on that front as well.

I hopefully will be doing a good job for you today in the news. And those of you who joined me last night on Liberty Conspiracy, thank you for doing so. Yes, we joined you from our new Moscow home. As you know, I endeavor very, very hard to travel all around the world and interview as many people as I possibly can so that I can get hypocritical accusations of cozying up to warlords and dictators from CNN hosts and pop media hosts who just generally don't like free speech. So yes, we're here inside the bunker. This is all a completely fake green screen backdrop. I'm here underground, probably about, I'd say, 10 to 15 meters underground inside a very special studio that Vladimir Putin got for me. So I hope

you'll like it. And most all the messages that I provide to you are not done in honor of David Knight or, you know, filling in for David, the great newsman, the great, great reporter, the great Christian apologist. No, nothing like that. It's all, of course, for Vladimir Putin, because that's what it's all about. Let's see what's on tap for those stories that Vladimir Putin chose for us today on The David Knight Show. Now, of course, we can reveal it. The show has always been brought to you by... No, just kidding. Today on The David Knight Show, I am going to be looking at a few items that,

if you joined me last night, we discussed, and I get to amplify them, actually. We're going to be hearing from our friend Matt Monroe, the great singer of the James Bond theme from Russia with love. Yes, it is coming to you the entire show from Russia with love. Specifically, we'll look at the border bill and bombs as the Dukes of Stratosphere, otherwise known as the band XTC, might have said, U.S. love explodes all over the world. Some very key information coming from antiwar.com. That will probably be our first story after we go through a couple of the very brief, blushed stories. For example, information from New Hampshire to South Carolina. Also, our major second story will be that CNN attack on attempted journalism as CNN avoids its own bias, or actually avoids acknowledging its

own bias. You can't seem to stop tripping over its own bias. It doesn't acknowledge its own bias. We'll also talk about guns with new court developments about the right to keep and bear arms and a new story for MRCTV that is a very complex story that has to do with new rules from the ATF. David Knight got to cover this based on an original article by Jacob Sullum and David brought up a couple factors that Jacob could have amplified in his story from Reason on Friday. And I paid attention to that as well. And so we'll go through that towards the probably the third hour, second or third hour. We'll also discuss Biden's pop media shills doubling down on economic fantasies.

We'll give you that information from a video I got to shoot for MRCTV. Plus football, UK speech and surveillance. Another video that I got to shoot for MRCTV that it's quite offensive if you believe in freedom. indicative of how far ahead, unfortunately, or you might say how far the UK has regressed when it comes to free speech. Yes, the home of the Magna Carta seems to be magnetized to censorship right now. That's for sure. Let's head on over into the Rockfin and Rumble chats and say hello to everyone in there. Really appreciate you being there, everybody. And remember, if you want to contribute to the program, feel free today. Gardner Goldsmith being the guest host, GG. I hope that you feel free to join us. I see that we've got a lot of good people already there. Occult Priestess is there. Miriam Myers is there. And I love the Zoss Zobz, Zoss Zobzs is in there as well as Mary Ellen Moore. Mary Ellen,

I salute you. And thank you so much for being so kind to me on a personal level. Really appreciate it. And we'll check in with the Rumble Chat in just a little while. Right now, everyone, I want to give you something that is just near and dear to my heart. As you know, my last name being Goldsmith, I went to Boston University and a lot of the students there thought I was Jewish. I'm not Jewish. It's an old English name. And we all know that old English names are actually we all know that those old English names are actually Russian. So let's hear our theme. As you know, one of the major stories we will cover in just a moment, not to tease you or anything like that, but one of the major stories we will cover in just a moment, not to tease you or anything like that, but one of the major stories we will cover in just a moment is, of course, Tucker Carlson going to Russia to interview Vladimir Putin. have to do with massive media hypocrisy and media figures trying to prejudice people against what could be just straightforward information. I have some questions as to whether or not

Tucker Carlson will ask even-handed questions of Putin. For example, if he talks to Putin about the killing of Gonzalo Lira by the Ukrainian government. Will he ask about the Russian government holding an American reporter whom they have accused of spying and what the evidence might be about that? All that stuff right now. Just to lay this out, I am a libertarian, but I'm what's called a voluntarist. Technically, I'm an anarchist. I want no political controls over my neighbor. There is no anarchy, the Greek root, no human ruler, no ruler. The only ruler for me is our

creator who created us all equally, as Jefferson said in the Declaration of Independence. So when it comes to a reporter visiting a head of state, I just want to lay it out that I am not praising a head of state in any way whatsoever, whether it be Vladimir Putin or any of the other previous heads of state who have popped around or any of the people who helped contribute to the government as so-called representatives, which is mathematically and philosophically impossible, or any of the people who are in the bureaucracy or anything like that. There are very strong philosophical reasons to oppose the state. There are logical reasons to oppose the state. And there are very, very strong moral reasons to oppose the political influence over my neighbor's life, which I believe is not mine to rule over my neighbor's life. But with that being stated, let's hop over into a couple of the fresh stories for the morning, the breaking stories, of course. So if you go to

my Twitter slash X feed, everybody, you'll see one of the major breaking stories, and that is at guard Goldsmith. Everything I discuss here and everything i discuss on liberty conspiracy monday through friday on rockfin rumble and my twitter feed slash x is available news wise you can find all those links i always want to make sure that the news is available to you at guard goldsmith g-a-r-d goldsmith and so here it is everybody nickley nicky haley is trounced by the none of these candidates option in Nevada's Republican primary. So I'm up here in New Hampshire, and I got to see the ridiculousness of the New Hampshire primary. And now I get to show you this from the AP. Let's go to our news reader's voice. Happiness. We all know what it feels like, but sometimes it doesn't come easy. I'm Garvey Bailey, the host of Happy Enough, a new podcast from The Globe and Mail about our pursuit of happiness.

We know people want to live more fulfilling and positive lives, but how do we actually do that? Is there a happiness code to crack? From our relationship with technology to whether money can really buy you happiness, we'll hear from both real people and experts to demystify this thing we're all searching for and hopefully find ways to be happy enough. You can find Happy Enough wherever you listen to podcasts. Headline! Nikki Haley is trounced by the none-of-these-candidates option in Nevada's Republican primary.

Oh, no, Nikki, come back, Nikki, come back, as Prince might have said. Yes, one and all. Out of Las Vegas, she threw the dice and it didn't come up snake eyes. Nikki Haley was swamped in Nevada's symbolic Republican presidential candidate as GOP voters resoundingly picked the none of these candidates option on the ballot in a repudiation of the former U.N. ambassador, who is the last remaining major rival to front runner Donald Trump. OK, doesn't mean I'm a supporter of Donald Trump, that's for sure. But I do think it's kind of funny and it allows us a very good reminder. Again, if you go to my Twitter slash X feed, I just want to let you know a little something that might be important to keep in mind when it comes to Nikki Haley. This is a piece from Lee Fang. And again, you can find this on my

Twitter feed, but it shows us some of the interests, not only behind some of these presidential candidates, but behind the so-called border bill. And I've got a very large segment reserved for the show today to get your feedback inside the chat. And also, if you want to comment inside the Twitter slash X feed, you can do so. That also works. I can see your comments. So Nikki and Rumble as well. Here is the report from Lee Fang about Nikki Haley. Now, the curious thing about Nikki Haley is that she went from being virtually in bankruptcy, close to it, to having a 5,700 square foot mansion in Kiowa Island, and it's worth $5 million. And so let me show you a little something about this. I've got it on both screens here, but I'll take myself off screen so you can see this. If you want to join up with Lee Fang, this is his sub stack. This is a report that came out in August, but I've always kept it in mind. I've mentioned it a few times because as Nikki Haley said things like finish them. And, uh, went after the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel. And she didn't mean just Hamas. She meant Iran, uh, this

warmonger, uh, it really started to show who pulls her strings but I want to tie that into this larger piece that I want to give you about the warmongers and their bombs exploding all around the world from the United States and what that border bill actually was so just to give you this if you scroll down a little ways here you'll see here over the last year, Haley and her husband reported a vast investment. Oh, so hold on. Let me just go back up. Here it is. This is he talks about an incendiary exchange in one of the primary debates between Vivek Brahmashwamy and Haley. And Haley told him in the end, you made America less safe. You have no foreign, you would make America less safe. You have no foreign policy experience and it shows.

Well, if foreign policy experience is based on her pronouncements and foreign policy experience, a lot of innocent people, more innocent people will lose their lives because of her. And the constitution of the United States will be further used as the British call it as bog roll. So we'll continue. The incendiary exchange, wrote Fang from last summer, which instantly became a viral made-for-television exchange clip, shared widely, belied a deeper divide in foreign policy and the curious background of Haley, who went from near negligible wealth and virtually no assets or investments other than a bank account

with less than $15,000 in 2017 and up to $1 million in debt to a sizable fortune. Yes. And by the way, BAE Systems has a complex about 25 minutes away from my house. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. And also just to let you know, the woman who was a former U.S. Senator who then lost to Jean Shaheen, or I think it was Jean Shaheen. No, then lost to Maggie Hassan for Senate. Her name is Kelly Ayotte. She was a former state attorney general in New Hampshire. While she was out of politics, yeah, she went on the board of Boeing. No, she was on the board of BAE Systems. And then while she was on the board of BAE Systems, she also appeared on Fox News to push for more weapons to go to Ukraine. Yeah. By the way, just as a quick aside, she also was on the board of Fox News at that time. Yeah, it's good when you're on the gravy train and I'm not talking dog food that makes its own gravy. Great stuff. Great. Now she's running

for governor of New Hampshire. Can't wait to talk to her at a town meeting as long as they don't manage them out of existence. So here's a little more about Nikki Haley, the South Carolina counterpart to Kelly Ayotte. Over the last year, Haley and her husband reported a vast investment stock portfolio, wrote Lee Fang back in August, of $12 million in income. Million dollars. The former South Carolina governor left the Trump administration. It was the best administration, the best warmongering. We sat in Syria. We had the oil.

It was great. The former South Carolina governor left the Trump administration in 2018 at a time when her parents were struggling financially and had just faced foreclosure. Those days are over. Haley now resides in a 5,700 square foot mansion on Kauai Island, now worth, I hope I pronounced that right, close to $5 million. Haley and her husband also helped sell a strip mall once owned by her parents and worked to clear the family of previous debts. How did this happen? Well, Lee Fang writes, along the way, Haley became wealthy in large part from her ties to a network of defense interests and hawkish advocacy organizations tied to U.S. and Israeli intelligence officials. In one of her first reported private sector jobs after leaving her last government post, Haley joined the board of, yeah, you got it, repo man, Boeing, a defense contractor, a position that paid around $300,000 a year in cash and stock.

Haley, according to disclosures, still owns up to $250,000 in Boeing stock. Well, you know, when you get the stock, it's kind of like you got to operate the same way Jennifer Granholm did. See, when she was governor of Michigan, Jennifer Granholm worked to help get the TARP bailout money to go to GM. They got billions of dollars. And then she worked to have GM give $6 million to the electric bus company called Proterra. Then after she left the office of governor for Michigan, Jennifer Granholm was invited to join the board of Frotera. I know, it's like, wow, why didn't I think of that?

It could have had a V8 engine. Oh, no, you can't because it's an electric vehicle and they're trying to eliminate V8 engines because they don't want you to drive on your own. You're going to have to be on some silly electric bus and freezing in the wintertime or maybe burning up. So in the summertime. So then after she left the board, they gave her stock options. She held onto those stock options, didn't report them according to the way the statutes are when she was first proposed to be energy secretary and then sold those stock options just about eight weeks.

By the way, she made almost $2 million off the Proterra stock options. Jennifer Granholm sold the stock options and made almost $2 million about eight weeks before. You got it. Proterra filed for bankruptcy protection. It's always good to get on the gravy train. That's right. I'm not talking dog food. Haley's primary income, aside from speaking engagements, is from United Against a Nuclear Iran, an advocacy group shrouded in secrecy. The group, which has lobbied for military strikes on Iran. Gee, it's kind of interesting because she almost said exactly those things right after they accused Iran of being connected to the Hamas attack on Israel.

And of course, they have revealed they have no evidence of that. Yeah, there are a lot of other things about which they have no evidence. We'll talk about that via anti-war in just a minute. The group has lobbied for military strikes in Iran, is advised by Zohar Palti and Tamir Pardo, two former Israeli intelligence officials, as well as many former U.S. national security officials. The Department of Justice previously intervened in a lawsuit to prevent the disclosure of united against a nuclear iran's donors because you know it's the department of justice yeah you'll find out how just it is if you just want to stop paying for it there's government justice for you hey i won my i won my court thing oh no actually the real winners of the court because they operate in

perpetuity off the backs of us slaves, claiming that doing so would cause harm to national security. Haley also works as a consultant for Prism Global Management, a New York-based investment fund run by Richard Kang, a position that earned $708,000. While the investment fund has no substantial online presence, Kang is active in the defense world and serves as an advisor to America's Frontier Fund, a new group backed by former Google chief executive Eric Schmidt and run day-to-day by Gilman Louie, the former head of In-Q-Tel, the CIA's venture capital arm. So I just want to let you know that, hey, you know, I have no dog in the race for president. And I could care less whether Donald Trump does what I think is inevitable, gets the Republican primary. But it is kind of satisfying

just to see Nikki Haley continue to fall flat as some people recognize the absolutely unhinged nature of many of the things this warmonger, statements of crazy person type person says. So there you go. That is, I hope, a powerful little item. And you can find that Lee Fang piece over at my Twitter slash X, and that's at guard goldsmith. So while we have the opportunity, let's talk now about a story from New Hampshire that again, it's a smaller story before we go into the major stories, but I want to give this to you because it's very odd. It's a smaller story before we go into the major stories. But I want to give this to you because it's very odd. It's a very odd one. And it allows us to play another theme by one of my favorite British bands.

You got it, my friends. It's actually The Kinks. In America, people seem so confused about gender and biology. Oh, man. I do love those guys. I love those guys. And by the way, Ray Davies has some wonderful country music. I'd love to see the Davies brothers get together again. It's sort of like the Gallagher brothers from Oasis. And I'm not talking Gallagher one and Gallagher two,

the prop comics, but what can you do? Musicians, hopefully they get to do what they enjoy and they make a living at it. The troubadours out there still going to town. And I love the kinks. love those guys, love the Who, all that rock and mod from the 60s, especially from Britain. We'll get to another British story about a state of confusion in just a minute via my MRC TV feed. But I want to give you

this one from New Hampshire, because this is just a few towns away from me. It's a little bit north from here, and you'll see there, there's Pollyanna, and she's very happy. It's the town that was the home for the author of the character Pollyanna, and that's from that 1913 book by Eleanor H. Porter. I know, I've never read it. I've heard about it, but I don't know too much about it. So here's the headline. Check this out, everyone. Again, little story just to break the ice here, but town manager quits over anti-gay pressure

in quaint New Hampshire town. This is making big news all around the world. It was on the Drudge Report for what that's worth nowadays. It's actually a lot of different places. big news all around the world. It was on the Drudge Report, for what that's worth nowadays. It's actually a lot of different places. It was trending for a little while on Twitter slash X. So what's the story, Morning Glory? Well, here it is. It's from the AP by Nick Perry and Kathy McCormick. And they write, the quaint town of Littleleton, and by the way, as a person who works for the Media Research Center, check out the different ways they phrase this. The quaint town of Littleton, New Hampshire is seeing more tourists drawn to a main street of shops and restaurants where rainbow colors and gay pride symbols can be seen alongside American flags. Its population of 6,000 is growing younger and more diverse, supporting LGBTQ-themed art and a local theater's gay-themed

musical. Again, this is Littleton, New Hampshire. There's a lot of little ski resorts around there, okay? Well, the changes, they say, haven't been comfortable for town select board member Carrie Gendro, who also serves as a Republican state senator. Last year, she said that, quote, homosexuality is an abomination and spoke of, end quote, and spoke of regulating art on public property. That prompted a backlash, drawing crowds to normally sleepy board meetings and led to the resignation of town manager Jim Gleason, whose late son was gay. Quote, my son is not an abomination, Gleason told the select board in January to a standing ovation when he announced his last day was Friday. He accused Jendro of creating a toxic work environment by repeatedly making derogatory comments about gay people. Friday also was Jendro's deadline to file for

re-election to the board, but she didn't. So her three-year term ends in March. Ah, so everything's behind everyone, right? Everything's, no, not quite. A former mill town in the White Mountains, Littleton, how dare they call them white, Littleton reversed a long decline in part through art. Tourists come now for antiques, galleries, boutiques, and the world's longest candy counter. They also look at the bronze statue of Pollyanna erected outside the public library to honor the

1913 book by local author Eleanor H. Porter, whose main character came to define relentless optimism. Pollyanna, right? Oh, by the way, if you ever visit Irvington, New York, Irvington on Hudson, named after Washington Irving, in front of their library, they have a statue of Rip Van Winkle with his long beard underneath the tree, sleeping or just waking up and looking. I can't remember if he's asleep or waking up,

but it's a really neat statue because he's actually lying on the ground. It's kind of fun to see. And it was actually right next to the Foundation for Economic Education's headquarters until they moved to Georgia. And what a wonderful spot that New York location was. It was just great. It's just great. So, okay.

We're talking, you know, F.A. Hayek helped start it. Henry Hazlitt helped start it. Youry haslett helped start it you know some some real heavy hitters in free market economics it was wonderful to be there so um so polly and his motto be glad which hangs from banners up and down main street has been tested as townspeople found themselves debating over inclusion tolerance and, and equality. The controversy began in August after three small murals funded by a diversity, equity, and inclusion grant, that's the first flag for me, I say to myself, a grant from whom, appeared on the side of a building that houses a restaurant and clothing store. Covering boarded up windows, the murals show a white iris against a color wheel, two birch

trees bending under a night sky, and a dandelion reaching skyward from an open book. What went up was not good, said Jendro, urging that the select board's audience to research what the symbols actually mean. I don't want that to be in our town. The board then sought an attorney's advice on what they could do to regulate artistic expression on town property. Gendro gave several interviews telling the Boston Globe that the Iris painting carried demonic hidden images. The artist, and you can see the image right here, the artist Meg Reinhold said her We Are Joy painting was inspired by Iris, the Greek goddess of rainbows. She told the Associated Press in an email that she hoped to evoke feelings of joy and empowerment, add beauty to Littleton, and celebrate people living with pride in the LGBTQ community. Also, just a quick one you can note here, if a viewer looks at those works and sees demons and darkness, what does that tell us about how they view the world?

Reinhold said. And of course, doesn't have the proper pronouns there. A viewer and they. Okay, that's all right, because we're in America in the 21st century. Gleason also, Gleason, who answered to the board as town manager, said he tried to resolve matters. When a woman approached him demanding to stop the November production of La Caja Fall, depicted on screen as the birdcage, he said she was free to protest outside the theater or not buy a ticket. Okay, so here's where we can stop.

So just to let you know, I looked around and tried to find out what form of DEI grant that was, whether it was state, federal, or local. I couldn't find out. And in the end, it doesn't matter. Also, the La Cage a Faux play, that was put on at a theater. That play was a co-production between the theater troupe and the local government, which gave a grant for or helped support the theater. So there's political intervention. There's political involvement here. Okay. So if we go back up to the top of this, what is absolutely fascinating here is the way that they talk about how

the phrasing of this, they say, the changes haven't been comfortable for town select board member, Carrie Jendro. And of course it's causing a backlash and the sleepy board meetings. People are very upset here at these board meetings. And Gleason accused Jendro of creating a toxic work environment. Okay, how about we step back for a second

and talk about what is actually toxic here. All of these people are operating inside a sphere of coercion against all the other people out there, everything they're doing, whether it's supporting a theater to put on La Cage a Faux, or it's getting a grant, whether it be local, state, or federal for diversity, equity, and inclusion, DEI, whatever it is, the toxic environment that they're missing is the aggression of the gun of government that they're pointing at every taxpayer who, regardless of how they feel about La Cage a Faux or to what degree, their opinions probably aren't going to be exactly the same as the other person. And yet everybody's got to be forced to pay for these things. How about this?

How about the less often that happens, the better? How about that? How about you don't assume you have the right to tell your neighbor what to pay for, to leave a preposition dangling? How about you leave your neighbor alone? How about you recognize what the toxic work environment is when you are enslaving your neighbor for X number of hours a day or per week to then fund a play that you like, whether it's La Cage a Faux or it's, I don't know, a Shakespeare play. What's the difference? If they don't want their money spent on it,

if they have different priorities, who the heck am I to say to that person, I know better than you how to support the community? And how does it support community cohesiveness to constantly have that threat there and then get everybody arguing against each other? How is that at all representative of community values, the constant pointing of the gun in a round-robin way?

How about you eliminate those things and actually let the market show what people like? The only way that humans can express their valuation is through voluntary action. All action that is coerced through the polis immediately negates the ability of the person who originally earned the money to show what or how much he admires or cherishes something. So by assuming for your neighbor that you know better than he or she does how to spend his money, you are negating the ability of your neighbor to actually show what he or she values. As I've mentioned before, when the United States government or your state puts money into, say, cancer research or Alzheimer's

research, and then these fatuous politicians come out and claim, oh, America cares about cancer or Alzheimer's. It doesn't mean America cares at all, because it has, by definition, logically, rhetorically, you can go into a logic class, you can go into a philosophy class, it immediately negates the source of choice, the individual. It does this every time politics is involved. So my position as an anarchist is I don't support that philosophically. Practically, I would say, how about this? Even if you're not

willing to come as far as I am to oppose the state on philosophical and moral grounds because it is an imposition on my neighbor, even if we can not come to terms on that, how about we get to the point where we say the less often this sort of thing happens, the better. The more often people are left to choose what their entertainment or art or whatever might be, the better. So eliminate as many public buildings as possible. Get rid of even that Pollyanna statue. Some people might have thought, well, that's a waste of money, isn't it? And the library, which is supposed to be this saintly thing. I worked at a used bookstore for a long time. You know who competed against us? The library. So we had tax-funded competition against us.

How can you stand against a library? That's terrible for kids. How do you know standing against the library is terrible for kids? Maybe a child can learn that the library, if it's publicly funded, represents taking people's money against their will. That's the only way a public library is funded, right? Generally speaking, unless they get a few grants or something like that. The premise of it is as a public entity, it will have access to other people's money, whether they want to or not want to pay for it or not. I want to eliminate as many of those things as possible. And that is on moral grounds. The consequentialists out there might say, well, what would the outcome be? I don't care about what the outcome is. I don't have the right to force my neighbor to pay for a book. When I worked at the bookstore, I didn't have the right to pick the pocket of the customer and say, hey, thanks for buying that book. Here you go. But that's what libraries do. It's completely immoral. None of it is acceptable. It's undebatable. Because in the end, if you try to debate it, you'll lose on the other

side. If you try to say that there's a moral argument, because you're not talking morality, you're talking what you think is the practical outcome of helping X, Y, or Z kid. You're not talking about the moral imposition of using aggressive threats against your neighbor to pay for what you want, whether it's a Pollyanna statue or a library or La Cage a Faux or a painting. So Littleton, they might learn if they pared down some of these things, and then maybe they wouldn't argue. Because in the end, the arguments really arise when something is run in what they call the tragedy of the commons. The tragedy of the commons being an economic principle, which is when

something is not privately owned and you pool a whole bunch of people together and force them together, people of disparate ideas and thoughts and interests and goals with where their money is going to go, they will start to argue. And of course, in the end, with the tragedy of the commons, the people who can gain the most power will try to get their bread buttered and everybody else will be left fallow. Now, when it comes to natural resources like forests and things like that, when the government owns those and runs those, and then they rent them out to whatever interest the politicians want, whether it's oil companies or forestry companies or whatever, the people who can go in there generally have less incentive to husband that resource because they have a limited time when to go in, get the

stuff and get out. So the tragedy of the commons with government not only gets everyone arguing about how that resource that the government runs and forces everybody to pay for, how that will be run. But in addition to that, the tragedy of the commons inspires resource misallocation and resource depletion. They don't husband these things. And I'll give you the great example that I've given on my show a couple of times when I was leaving Vancouver, where I worked at a television show called The Outer Limits. And I was driving back east in december uh i had to get my car repaired in bellevue washington just out of outside of seattle i'd come down from vancouver and was starting across and um one of the guys who worked there said he saw my live free or die license plate from new hampshire and he said hey i'll take a

discount off if you promise me to send you send one of your license plates i'm like yeah sure no problem sure. No problem. That'd be great. And I said, I got I got a couple old ones at home. I'll send them over to you. So he goes, oh, thanks, man. So it was really nice. And we started talking about economics and I told him, you know, I teach economics and so on. And so he said, you know, you want a great example of that. Look on the north side of the highway when you go through Snow Squalmy Pass over this mountain on the east side of Seattle and Bellevue. And he says, look on the north side of the highway and then look on the south side. On the north side, you'll see the forest that's run by Weyerhaeuser. They don't clear cut. They selectively cut. They try to husband their resources because it's a long-term investment. They don't want soil depletion or

forest fires or anything like that. They take't want soil depletion or forest fires or anything like that. They take care of things. He said, look on the South side. On the South side, it's owned by the federal government and they rent it out. Clear cut, soil depletion, mineral depletion. It's a mess. And he was absolutely right. You could see the stark differences you drove across. It was amazing. Somebody could have done a quick five-minute documentary and shown it to kids in economics as a terrific opening to talk about the economic axioms of private property and husbanding. In fact, the very concept of resource discovery and allocation. A resource, things that people claim are natural resources, they're not resources until human beings recognize a value in them, right? So for example, if you look at oil, it was a mineral sludge for centuries until someone found

a use that was more efficient and more widespread and better than just lubrication for oil, right? So you go from the pyramids where they're throwing the oil on and try to slide things around as we saw in the 10 commandments. And by the way, was it Cecil B. DeMille or Selznick was the producer that he did a black and white version of that film about 10 years before he did the color version. And they recently, they were in the desert in Nevada, talking about Nevada with Nikki Haley. They were in the desert in nevada talking about nevada with nicki haley they were in the desert in nevada and somebody discovered all these weird egyptian things under the sand and it was because of the old black and white i think it might have been silent

version rather than finishing when they were done rather than transporting them back to hollywood they had no use for them they just buried them in the sand. So people in Nevada are digging up like, what's this Egyptian stuff? It was from the original 10 commandments. And then I guess it was David O. Selznick, right?

Or Cecil B. I can't remember. He wanted to do it again. And that's when, of course he brought Charlton Heston in. And by the way, Charlton Heston, another quick aside,

was a remarkable man. I wrote to Charlton Heston because I was badly injured in the 90s. I had to do a lot of physical therapy. I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to walk properly. A lot of weird stuff going on. My immune system was too high. I took hydroxychloroquine at the time to lower my immune system. So I was very familiar with hydroxychloroquine when, of course, Anthony Fauci didn't want to talk about it. I already knew that hydroxychloroquine modulated the immune system and was a potent mediator against SARS from a 2005 study that, of course, got funding from the NIH. And Anthony Fauci knew about it, but never discussed it. Strange that, isn't it?

But I was pretty badly injured and I would listen to these cassettes from a company called Knowledge Products. A lot of very, very good libertarian writers, just terrific people. I think David Beto wrote one of the scripts for that. A lot of really good people on economics and philosophy. And the narrator of the world's great philosophers was Charlton Heston. So I learned more from those tapes as I rehabilitated and started to walk and, you know, did exercises, just repeatedly listening to those over and over again about Baruch Spinoza or Immanuel Kant or Aristotle. And later, Bud Light did radio and television commercials with Charlton Heston. You might remember some of those commercials.

The radio ads were actually formatted the same way as those cassettes, where the cassettes would come on and they would have Charlton Heston say, let's he would say, let's say it's about Immanuel Kant. Right. And say, according to khan it's the subjective nature of reality one cannot surpass and then they would go into a man doing the emmanuel khan voice and be like the subjectivity is the root of the problem in an and then heston would come back and he'd say khan's view was blah blah blah blah so these ads for bud light came on with charlton heston saying let's see how one man made his night a bud light night so the guy the the character or whatever uh who's the subject say i was in a bar and then heston jumps in like too quickly he was in a bar you know and it was just like these tapes but they sort of tweaked it to make it funny and uh so

i was so entertained by the commercials and by the cassettes and so on. And I admired Charlton Heston's work for the second amendment so much that I contacted him and I asked him if he would be willing to do an interview for the 30th anniversary of Planet of the Apes. That's one of my favorite films. Rod Serling wrote most of the screenplay. And so I got a reply from Charlton Heston like two weeks later, written by him, typed by him, mailed by him. And it was really amazing because I had sent off, in addition to my request, I sent off comments about the ads and the tapes and how much I like the tapes. And I sent him some about the ads and the tapes and how much I like the tapes. And I sent them some of my articles about freedom. And I sent them a copy of Frederick Bastier's 1840, 1839 essay, The Law. And it's about statute created by the state versus natural law. And the opening line

is the law perverted. It's politicians claiming they can write laws for people and so on. And he goes into how taxation is theft. It's majority sanctioned plunder. So I sent all these things off to Charlton Heston. Two weeks later, I get a letter from Charlton Heston from his house. And, you know, I'm not too, you know, I worked in Hollywood and so on. So you meet actors. It's just their work and so on.

But Charlton Heston, slightly different story because of the things that he did in philosophy and the ways he tried to stand up for what was right. And it was just nice. It was nice to get the letter from him. And he said, thank you so much for your articles. I read them with great interest. Thank you for your comment about the knowledge products tapes. He says, it's funny when you mentioned those commercials, I didn't make the connection, but now that you mentioned it, I think you're right. They probably did. And those tapes aren't very well known at all. They probably modeled them after the tapes and they are,

they're very esoteric. Not a lot of people know about those tapes and they're brilliant. I mean, if you want to get a good philosophy class just get the knowledge product stuff it's they're amazing it's you'll be teaching yourself and um so he said and thank you for the copy of the law you're right it's one of the best i usually reread it every few years which again that showed me that this man was very interested in liberty, libertarian themes in economics. And he had such a deft way of actually expressing to me, you know, I already own this, I've already got it,

but thank you for being one of those people connected to this. You know, he did it in that way. You're right. It's one of the best. I usually reread it every few years. And, uh, that was very, very cool. And later, uh, just as a, as you know, a quick note, I was extremely disappointed to see the way that Michael Moore, um, treated Charlton Heston, who was, you know, uh, affected by, uh, memory loss and Alzheimer's towards the end of his life. I was, I was very frustrated to see the way that Michael Moore, is it Michael Moore? Yeah.

The way that he did his Bowling for Columbine movie and Moore went and got a lifetime membership to the NRA so that when he went and buzzed at Charlton Heston's gate out in LA, he was able to say, I'm a lifetime member of the NRA. Technically that's the term that he bought, but it implied that he had been a long time member of the NRA and he wanted an interview with Charlton Heston about firearms and so on. And so Heston said, well, you know, I'm a little busy right now in a meeting, but if you want to come back tomorrow and stop by, we'll give you lunch.

Heston invited him into his own house, gave him lunch himself, gave Moore and whoever was with the camera thing lunch himself. And then Moore starts jawing at him, asking him questions about NRA meetings in Colorado, that if you actually knew anything about these meetings, they came after the Columbine shooting, but they adjusted the meetings so that they would be pared down in respect to the people who were there and so on. And of course, it has nothing to do with the right to keep and bear arms. If more people had firearms, there'd be fewer instances of people trying to take advantage of them with their own violence. So Heston said, and I'm paraphrasing, of course, but Heston said, you know, I don't know where you're driving, you know, where you're going here,

but I don't think this is really a productive conversation here. You're not, I'm giving you answers and you just keep saying the same things over and over again. You know, I told you what we did. We changed the format. People have a right to keep and bear arms. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Moore wouldn't leave Heston's house. So if you're not familiar with this, and a lot of you probably are, but again, out of respect for Charlton Heston, whom I admired greatly coming off of this Nevada 10 commandments thing, I, you know, it's an opportunity for me to get this information out. And so, and I know the David Knight audience, you know, very, very dedicated to principle.

And generally speaking, I know maybe there might be one or two, but, you know, obviously complimenting you and so on. But I think this audience is just stellar and David is stellar. And Charlton Heston left his own house and walked down the street, leaving Moore in his house. And get this, Michael Moore had the gall later in his Bowling for Columbine film. And you can find websites that go through all of the inconsistencies and false edits and false information that is in that film. He edited Charlton Heston and took an appearance of Charlton Heston when he would raise his rifle and say, out of my cold, dead hands, and claimed that he portrayed the scene of Heston doing that, which he did not do in the Colorado NRA meeting, as showing temporally that that happened in Colorado. He did that to Charlton Heston, who invited him into his own house. And then Moore wouldn't leave the house. That's the character of Michael Moore.

Now, maybe Moore has changed a little bit. I've heard him speaking a couple bits about peace and so on here and there. I'd have to see a lot. And you try to forgive people for stuff like this. But that was just beyond the pale. I'd have to see a lot. And you try to forgive people for stuff like this. Um, but that, that was just beyond the pale, you know, just being so blind to your own aggressive treatment of another person and mistreatment of that person when it comes to truth. I don't know how somebody can sit with himself to do that. How can you make yourself feel comfortable in that sort of living environment? I don't get it. But with that stated, let's head over from New Hampshire, the lesson of the tragedy of the commons and so on, and get into this story

from war, the warmongers and Russia. And for that, we're going to need a theme, everybody. And you know what I think it's got to be? A little something from Edwin Starr. war, the warmongers, and Russia. And for that, we're going to need a theme, everybody. And you know what I think it's got to be? A little something from Edwin Starr. Oh, boy. I hear that looks like we've got a little tech thing going on here. Let me just check this out for y'all here. I'm going to put myself back on the screen.

And, oh, thank you so much, everybody. Looks like we have a tech thing happening, and I'll take care of this. I think I can take care of it real quick. Hold on just a minute here. Looks like maybe the, hold on a second. I'm going to be doing something real quick. I'm sorry about that. Hold on, hold on. Okay. Ah, gee whiz. Okay. Yep. Okay. And I'm going to do this and do it again. All right. And just let me know if you can hear the audio. I'm going to try this again real quick here and see what I can do. And go like this.

And just let me know if you can hear this audio. Okay, everybody. Here we go. I hope. All right. Let's see if that gets it going. Ah, I hope so. I hope so. Great, great, great. Okay. Yeah. So let's get into the major stories here that are on tap. And of course, I think part of the major coverage that I want to give to you has to do with the Tucker Carlson visit to Russia. And just to give you a quick information about Tucker Carlson's visit to Russia. Don't forget, everybody, that we are, of course, sponsored by the Russian government here at my Liberty Conspiracy show. And so I hope that I can

show you our sponsors. There they are right there from Russia with love. All right. So I want to take the opportunity. It looks like, are we getting audio? I hope we're getting audio. I hope we're getting audio. Please let me know. I hope so. Again, I'll check in on Rockfin chat and double check and see that we're getting audio. I hope we are. Let me know if we're not getting audio. I haven't had a, it's very strange because I went back through the tech and it should be operating. And so just let me know and I'll cross my fingers on that, okay, because otherwise I'll make some changes here, and do something different for you, so yeah, okay, so we'll see, we'll see, it looks like Harps is in the chat, no audio during clips, okay, thanks Harps, I'll try it

again and see, I appreciate it Harps, very much. Let me try one more time here just to make sure. I'll go back in here. And we're going to do this again. And so I'm going to go into this. And just again, sorry about this. Do this again. Going to go like this. Going to go like this. Going to go like this.

Okay. Go like this. Go like this. Try it again. Okay. We'll see how it goes. And let's see if we can do this up. And sorry for the moment the uh momentary uh mess up here and okay now we're

going to go over here again and give it a shot there's matt monroe and we'll go back with matt and smile for a moment But oh, you haunted me so All right, let's give it a shot. Otherwise, I'll make some changes to my video presentations, which I was hoping to show to you. Okay, Harps, thank you for being in that chat over on X. And he's got sound. Good. Okay, great. I apologize, okay. Harps, uh, thank you for being in that chat over on X and he's got sound. Good. Okay, great. I apologize, everyone. Gee whiz. Well, uh, okay. Jeez, that's a little frustrating, but thanks for sticking with it. I really appreciate it. Oh, fixed says Steven Casper.

Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Appreciate it. Okay. So let's get into a couple of the items I want to discuss with you on this news story out of the warmongers of the United States. So here is a quick update from antiwar.com. House fails to pass $17.6 billion Israel military aid bill. Bill needed a two-thirds majority and failed in a vote of 250 to 180. Senate confirms China hawk Kurt Campbell as deputy secretary of state from antiwar.com. And Israel says more than a fifth of Israeli hostages in Gaza are dead. Okay. They say the revelation will likely increase the domestic pressure on Netanyahu. We understand that the United States border bill, which is basically a nonstarter coming out of the Senate and going into the House, that the U.S. so-called border bill, they want to make sure that you know it has a lot to do with stopping so-called Russian aggression and stopping Hamas from destroying Israel. When, of course, Israel, since it started its retaliatory strikes on Hamas in Palestine,

has killed upwards of about 25,000 people, and they can't tell who were supposed terrorists and who weren't. They can't tell who were innocent victims, but one thing's for sure, nearly half of the people killed were women and children. But I want to give this to you just so that you have this information, of course, from Nancy Pelosi. Here she is talking about if you call for a ceasefire in the Middle East, you're obviously, or if you call for a ceasefire or peace with Ukraine, you're obviously working the Putin agenda.

So let's address that. But for them to call for a ceasefire is Mr. Putin's message. Mr. Putin's message. Make no mistake, this is directly connected to what he would like to see. Same thing with Ukraine. It's about Putin's message. Okay, now let's hear something David Knight played yesterday. Chuck Schumer talking about how, of course, if the United States doesn't continue to fund the proxy government that it helped install in late 2013, early 2014 in Ukraine, after years of NATO expansion, contrary to the agreements of James Baker that were given to the former Soviet Union, as the former Soviet leaders promised that as Russia emerged from the Soviet Union, they would disengage the former Soviet bloc, Iron Curtain Nations, and they would get an agreement from the West that the West would not

expand NATO. The Russians kept their agreement, and the West did not. Well, of course, they overthrew the government in late 2013 in Ukraine in the Maidan coup. They installed a new government, thanks to Victoria Nuland and Jeffrey Pyatt from the United States. And you can hear them in their phone call and that infamous F the EU phone call. And you'll know very well that they worked with Nazis like Ole Tianybuk of the Slovodov party. But all of that stated, we know that it's Vladimir Putin who has intentions on rolling across Europe, going West, just like Hitler, walking across the water and going into England and then somehow levitating to Nova Scotia, coming down Maine into the United States and attacking the United States. Chuck Schumer knows all about it.

So how dare you possibly think that he has other interests like defense contractors or ties to the Israeli government to have them pushed into Palestine and take it over, as Benjamin Netanyahu openly stated, from the river to the sea himself. Before the Palestinians used that phrase, his Likud party was using it as an expression of pushing all of the Palestinians out of Gaza. But how dare you be skeptical and not want the expansion of the warfare state from people like Chuck Schumer, who folded in a lot of money for that in the so-called border bill. And by the way, conservatives, again, when you mix in that border thing, you got to look at that constitution, please. And remember that the word immigration isn't in there. It is a state matter and the states can request aid from the federal

government. If the states under article four, section four claim that their form of government is being threatened by violence or an invasion. The state legislature can ask or a state governor can ask, which is exactly what Abbott has done. I know he's been very close with the WEF and people from that area say he could have done a lot more on the border a long time ago. And it's very important to remember that regardless of Supreme Court decisions, there is no language in the U.S. Constitution that gives the federal government the a priori first dibs control over anything to do with the border. That is not there. So this entire border bill was based on a faulty assumption.

But when you see what they folded into it, you'll know that it had nothing to do with the border. It had to do with military industrial contracts and the people getting reelected. the Trilateral Commission, Zbigniew Brzezinski, and got the United States involved in Afghanistan, supplying Stinger missiles to the Mujahideen and propping up the, you know what, Al-Qaeda group. But, you know, these are totally, totally cool people and you should just trust them. In America, this bill is crucial and history will look back on it and say, did America fail itself? Why is it crucial? Well, if we don't aid Ukraine, Putin will walk all over Ukraine. We will lose the war. And we could be fighting in Eastern Europe in a NATO ally in a few years. Americans won't like that.

There's Joe Biden. Biden says if you don't help Ukraine now, you can help Ukraine now or send Americans to fight Russia with NATO later. Why? Why? Why is this in any part an interest of the United States in any way whatsoever? I don't understand it. And sending weapons over there, I'd like for them to find for me the section of the Constitution that lets them do that if there's no declared war.

And that goes for the soldiers. If you're being sent abroad, please tell me how that can happen in a time when there's no declared war. Here's Lindsey Graham with Dick Blumenthal. I showed this last night on the show for Liberty Conspiracy. Liam McCollum has this quote from, this infamous quote from Lindsey Graham. I like the path we're on. With U.S. weapons and money, Ukraine will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian, says Lindsey Graham. And of course, that Ukrainian dead, 71,000 plus, that's closer to a quarter million now. And Russian dead, it's more towards 21,000. So just to let you know about that, he's with Dick Blumenthal. Dick Blumenthal claimed

that he did active duty in Vietnam and then he got spat upon when he got off the plane. He did not see active duty in Vietnam. That Dick Blumenthal guy is a really repulsive character, a senator, of course, from Connecticut. Unbelievable. These people just, they have no shame. They're like Michael Moore. And of course, just to let you know, here is a still shot of Amy Klobuchar, Senator John McCain, now deceased, and Lindsey Graham in Ukraine with people who have been identified, some of them as members of the Azov Battalion, pro-Nazis that were down slaughtering people in the Donbass for years, one of the impetuses for Vladimir Putin to go into Ukraine.

So people ought to keep that in mind. In fact, let's see some footage of Lindsey Graham as, oh, first, before we even do that, let me show you the way that Tucker Carlson's being depicted for talking to Vladimir Putin. Now, did the pop media ask any questions of Victoria Nuland about their association with the overt Nazis in Ukraine, about the United States overthrowing the government of Ukraine? Did they ask any of that stuff? No, they didn't. When CNN went and did an interview with Osama bin Laden, was that considered journalism? Yes, it was. Is Vladimir Putin a person with whom a journalist can speak? Sure. Is Tucker Carlson going to conduct an interview with him that hopefully will be fair and ask some pertinent and pointed questions?

I hope so. But let's hear how CNN is trying to preface this and get people to prejudge it. OK, this is CNN again, CNN, CNN, which pushed the Steele dossier nonsense, which, of course, tries to depict people who are pro freedom and antiwar as being part of a Russian propaganda campaign, right? They don't have a problem interviewing Osama bin Laden, but the idea of Tucker Carlson going to interview Vladimir Putin, who when he gave his presentation about why he was invading Ukraine, as much as I don't like him ordering troops to be invading Ukraine, everything he said was historically accurate about the agreements that were given to the Russians by the West and how they were broken, about what was happening to the people in the Donbass, about the Ukrainian energy agreements that had been made with the elected president that got overthrown, all of that stuff. Where was CNN talking about the Hunter Biden laptop when we

all know that Hunter Biden was put on the board of Burisma? And I was talking about it in 2016 with my students. He was put on the board of Burisma to stop Burisma from dealing with the Russians and, of course, as a big payoff. Here's CNN. A massive shakeup in Kyiv coming as Putin is trying to court the MAGA GOP in the United States. In fact, one of the leaders of the MAGA GOP is in Moscow tonight. It's the man you see here with the MAGA leader Donald Trump, Tucker Carlson. Possibly there in Moscow to interview Putin. Definitely there as a Putin supporting celebrity. Just listen to how Russian state

media is breathlessly. So I don't appreciate the fact that Tucker Carlson is supportive of Donald Trump. Okay. Donald Trump remained in Syria when he should have left. He stayed in Afghanistan far too long after promising he was going to get out, started to prepare to get out. As Ron Paul says, everybody wonders, how do you get out? How do you do it? How do you extract yourself from this? You leave, you go. And to the soldiers who allow themselves to get sent over into those places, don't let anybody tell you you have a right to self-defense when you're an occupying entity in a foreign country. You have no right to self-defense there. And you certainly have no right to self-defense using firearms

that were purchased off the backs of other people without their consent. That's like a mafioso saying he has every right to use a gun that he stole from somebody's house. It doesn't work that way. So CNN obviously trying to portray Tucker Carlson as being pro-MAGA and, of course, Donald Trump being connected to the Russians. So we can't listen to anything that they actually might come up with in their conversation. Just negate it from the start, which is what they're trying to do here.

It's amazing. Celebrating his visit. Independent journalist Tucker Carlson has flown to Russia from the US via Turkey to Vanucova airport. He saw Spartacus ballet at the Bolshoi Theater, had lunch in a nice restaurant, went for a ride around town, rode the subway. He charged his smartphone via USB port and connected to a fast and free Wi-Fi internet. He charged his phone, although they're knowing the details about the fact that it was during USB port may give him reason to think twice about all of this.

But look at them talking about him like a celebrity. Everything he does on camera is breathlessly repeated. Now, it is unclear if an interview between Putin and Carlson will take place, but if it does, it gives Putin a chance to sit down with a big supporter. It might be worth asking yourself, since it is getting pretty serious, what is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a racist? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Does he eat dogs? These are fair questions. And the answer to all of them is no. Vladimir

Putin didn't do any of that. I'll actually always remember watching that clip. I was standing in Ukraine 48 hours before the war began there. All right. So curiously enough, everybody, as that CNN reporter says, I was in Ukraine 48 hours before the war began there. Did she happen to report any of the meetings between the Americans and the Nazis? Because she was there. She could have talked about it. She could have asked for an interview with, oh, I don't know, Ole Tianybak, the leader of the Slobodan party. She could have mentioned the Azov battalion. She didn't do that. She didn't do that. She's trying to say, essentially, don't listen to Tucker Carlson in any of the information that he comes up with, any of the questions he asked of Vladimir Putin. Why not listen? When CNN went to interview Osama bin Laden, why not listen? Why not hear what he had to say? You thought in CNN that it was worth talking to him. Is it not worth hearing from Vladimir Putin? Especially when, if we compare the stuff that Vladimir Putin has said about the Ukraine situation to what you covered and what you didn't cover at CNN.

Clearly, of all things, the leader of Russia was more honest than CNN has been. And I don't support Vladimir Putin. I'm just stating the facts. If you put the scales out, you can see CNN's got nothing on the scale. Let's look at this video of Amy Klobuchar, Lindsey Graham, and John McCain meeting with people in that still shot. You saw them in the Russian military, some of whom have been claimed to have been associated with the Azov battalion. And then I'll show you an even closer shot of John McCain on stage with Ole Tianybuk, the leader of the Nazi Sloboda party.

Here they are talking about how, of course, your paycheck has to be used to send money over to Ukraine even before the Russians invaded. This is before the Russians invaded. This was the United States arming the proxy government of Ukraine prior to the Russian invasion. The Nazi proxies were getting U.S. support in Donbass and killing innocent women and children, and these people were there to promise more of this. And they used the pretext of the Crimea defense in 2014 after the United States overthrew the government in Ukraine. The Russians went and blocked Crimea from further incursions by the Ukrainian government. And, of course, the United States portrayed that as an aggressive act. In fact, if you look at Barack Obama, Obama issued an executive order in March of 2014, which was one of the key starts of the whole Russian narrative, saying the Russians are aggressive in Crimea. We have to watch out for

this. We're citing Russia as an aggressive force. Here's this. Check this out. Your fight is our fight. 2017 will be the year of offense. All of us will go back to Washington and we will push the case against Russia. We will all return to Washington and we will impose case against Russia. Enough of a Russian aggression. It is time for them to pay a heavier price. Our fight is not with the Russian people, but with Putin.

Our promise to you is to take your calls to Washington. Inform the American people of your bravery and make the case against Putin to the world. I believe you will win. I am convinced you will win.

And we will do everything we can to provide you with what you need to win. So again, these are people who swore oaths to the U.S. Constitution. Can you tell me, any of you people in politics, where you find a constitutional provision to send weapons anywhere or teddy bears anywhere or anything anywhere? Whether you think it's helping people or you think it's going to help your defense contractors or whatever, it doesn't matter what your intent is. Under your constitutional provisions, you're not allowed to do that. They tried to make it as restrictive as possible. And yet you flout these things and fly over to these other countries and hang out with these people. And I think it's pretty clear when you see photographs of Joe Biden shaking Chani Bach's hand, of John McCain in the room with Chani Bach, of him on stage with Chani Bach,

that they had to have known. When you hear Victoria Nuland speaking with Jeffrey Pyatt and mentioning Chani Bach as the person they have to rope in, it's very clear they know they had to have known what these people were like. And we will help you because of equipment, but because of your courage. So, I thank you. And the world is watching. And the world is watching because we cannot allow Vladimir Putin to succeed here because if he succeeds here he will succeed in other countries all right now here is the shot I want to freeze frame this for you and point this out to you

that's John McCain in Kiev in front of a massive crowd. The man right here is Ole Tianybak. Ole Tianybak, if you want to look it up, I've got photographs. You can even find it on Wikipedia. The head of the Svoboda Party, S-V-O-B-O-D-A, Svoboda Party. That is a Nazi party.

And here is John McCain talking to the people there with him next to him. We need Ukraine. People of Ukraine, this is your moment. By the way, over his shoulder right here is Senator Chris Murphy from Connecticut, and Tiani Bak is over here on the right this is about you no one else this is about the future you want for your country this is about the future you deserve my body my body my body my body my body my body my body my body my body my body Europe future of peace my body of yours with all of your neighbors my body Майбутнє всіх ваших сусідів. І ваше доля, як ми вважаємо, знаходиться в об'єднаній Європі. а заходится объединение европе украину на пиратах альтернат

украина пир news на эти с радио news.com or get the apc radio and never miss another story A CIDADE NO BRASIL E aí A CIDADE NO BRASIL you're listening to the david knight show good stuff good stuff wonderful music and i hope david is feeling better and again thank you all uh you know when you do a fill-in like this, you know, you have certain things set up and you're all excited and everything. And very, you know, frustrating sometimes when a little something doesn't play or whatever, you get some quiet. And, you know, on your end, you're not hearing the music that I want to play and so on. So I really appreciated Harps. You're just great.

I was actually going to wear the T-shirt that you sent to me from Australia. I was going to wear that. I'll wear that tonight when I do my show on Liberty Conspiracy Harps. And just the sentimental connection that I feel for all of you. I really appreciate you helping out. I'm Gardner Goldsmith sitting in for David today. David's feeling a little under the weather. And so I hope I've been doing an okay presentation despite a couple of those little technical problems a little bit earlier in getting some of this information out to you. Luckily, actually, the way that I framed things, I only had a couple of my little themes there. And I was mostly going through news stories, written stories, and, you know, thinking sort of going off the cuff about Charlton Heston and so

on and Michael Moore and things like that. But I do want to present to you more video footage. So this is good, actually, that I really appreciate Ananda being there on X. Thank you so much for being in there. And again, Harps, thank you. And Audi, MRR, being there, thank you so much. We had a contribution also. And I thank you so much, Tornator. Thank you so much for being there.

And oh, I hear this. Yep. So Tornator writes and feel free to contribute, by the way. It's always a good thing. And I appreciate that very much. Not to stress it, but, you know, it's always helpful. You can do that on Rockin' or Rumble. Tornator says, good morning, guard. I hope they're treating you well in Russia. You probably heard that Toby Keith passed away. He announced he had stomach cancer in the fall of 2021. And from what I'm seeing, he was jabbed. Sounds like a bit of the old turbo cancer. Since he was from the red state of Oklahoma, I'm wondering what the death rate was

for his vaccine lot number. Yes, my sister and I speculated about that. And in fact, it sort of ties in with a little bit of the Tucker Carlson stuff that I want to bring up just to sort of round off the Tucker stuff, because, you know, David makes some excellent points about Tucker's experience and behavior at Fox and the jabs and what many of us knew very early on about the jabs. So, Tornator, thank you. That's very, very appropriate. And I think that sort of speculation is is quite, quite valid. And Occult Priestess, thanks for being there. Assyrian Girl, thank you. Right over the border. Assyrian Girl, I'm in Mason right now.

Mason is the home of the original Uncle Sam. I was mentioning that to Travis on the phone last night. This is where the original Uncle Sam lived. And yeah, and thank you for being there and mentioning the knights who are in the, in the room, the Rockman chat. Thank you so much. So let's take this opportunity now, everybody to talk about, uh, what Tucker Carlson has told us he is going to be doing when it comes to his visit to Russia. Okay. So we're going to turn to Elon Musk's retweet of this

from Tucker Carlson, give you, give you the presentation. He has this to say. And again, you know, whether one thinks of Tucker Carlson as having grown and gotten past his, his family background tied to intelligence, whether they looked at him and said, you know, he went from that bow tie period. I didn't really trust him then is the on some sort of long-term grift or is he now free? Um, I'm going to play a little something from David in just a minute that I think, uh, frames, um, some very striking and very valid criticism of Tucker Carlson. And get your opinions about this visit. Again, not trying to prejudice anyone about this interview, but just say, OK, let's take it as we get it.

So here is what Tucker said that was reposted by Elon Musk. We're in Moscow tonight. We're here to interview the president of russia vladimir putin we'll be doing that soon there are risks to conducting an interview like this obviously so we thought about it carefully over many months here's why we're doing it first because it's our job we're in journalism our duty is to inform people two years into a war that's reshaping the entire world, most Americans are not informed. They have no real idea what's happening in this region, here in Russia or 600 miles away in Ukraine. But they should know. They're paying for much of it in ways they might

not fully yet perceive. The war in Ukraine is a human disaster. It's left hundreds of thousands of people dead, an entire generation of young Ukrainians, and has depopulated the largest country in Europe. But the long-term effects are even more profound. This war has utterly reshaped the global military and trade alliances, and the sanctions that followed have as well. And in total, they have upended the world economy. The post-World War II economic order, the system that guaranteed prosperity in the West for more than 80 years,

is coming apart very fast. And along with it, the dominance of the U.S. dollar. These are not small changes. They are history-altering developments. They will define the lives of our grandchildren. Most of the world understands this perfectly well. They will define the lives of our grandchildren. Most of the world understands this perfectly well. They can see it. Ask anyone in Asia or the Middle East what the future looks like. And yet the populations of the English-speaking countries seem mostly unaware.

They think that nothing has really changed. And they think that because no one has told them the truth. Their media outlets are corrupt. They lie to their readers and viewers, and they do that mostly by omission. For example, since the day the war in Ukraine began, American media outlets have spoken to scores of people from Ukraine, and they've done scores of interviews with Ukrainian President Zelensky. We ourselves have put in a request for an interview with Zelensky. We hope he accepts. But the interviews he's already done in the United States are not traditional interviews. They are fawning pep sessions specifically designed to amplify Zelensky's demand that the U.S. enter more deeply into a war in Eastern Europe and pay for it. That is not journalism.

It is government propaganda, propaganda of the ugliest kind, the kind that kills people. At the same time, our politicians and media outlets have been doing this, promoting a foreign leader like he's a new consumer brand. Not a single Western journalist has bothered to interview the president of the other country involved in this conflict, Vladimir Putin. Most Americans have no idea why Putin invaded Ukraine or what his goals are now. They've never heard his voice. That's wrong. Americans have a right to know all they can about a war they're implicated in. And we have the right to tell them about it because we are Americans too. Freedom of speech is our birthright. We were born with the right to say what we believe.

That right cannot be taken away no matter who is in the White House. But they're trying anyway. Almost three years ago, the Biden administration illegally spied on our text messages and then leaked the contents to their servants in the news media. They did this in order to stop a Putin interview that we were planning. Last month, we're pretty certain they did exactly the same thing once again. But this time, we came to Moscow anyway. We are not here because we love Vladimir Putin.

We are here because we love the United States. We wanted to remain prosperous and free. We paid for this trip ourselves. We took no money from any government or group. Nor are we charging people to see the interview. It is not behind a paywall. Anyone can watch the entire thing shot live to tape and unedited on our website, tuckercarlson.com. Elon Musk, to his great credit, has promised not to suppress or block this interview once we post it on his platform X, and we're grateful for that. Western governments,

by contrast, will certainly do their best to censor this video on other less principled platforms because that's what they do. They are afraid of information they can't control. But you have no reason to be afraid of it. We are not encouraging you to agree with what Putin may say in this interview, but we are urging you to watch it. You should know as much as you can. And then, like a free citizen and not a slave, you can decide for yourself. Thanks. Good stuff from Tucker Carlson there. I agree 100% with everything he's saying. I've had some

disagreements with him in the past, but I also want to mention some excellent comments from Ananda G. over at X. The Putin Interviews is a four-part, four-hour television series by American filmmaker Oliver Stone, first broadcast in Ukraine on Fire, is also very, very good. He did an excellent job there. And I want to mention that there is a great comment from Stephen Kaspar inside Rockfin, said, what happened in the 60s? The Dems were the peace party. Now they're worse than Hitler. Well, you know, they're definitely pro-war. And I have to mention, as a Gen Xer who grew up in the shadow of the hypocritical 60s generation, the baby boomers, I was well aware that the vast, vast, and I've mentioned this on Liberty Conspiracy as well, the vast, vast majority of the 60s so-called peacemongers and the peace protesters and so on, they weren't interested in peace in any way whatsoever. They were interested in using the

peace issue to change the makeup of the leadership so that they could get their mindset, their Marxist mindset, more manifested inside the U.S. government, continued to destroy the U.S. Constitution even further. And, of course, when Bill Clinton got in there, a supposed peace guy, Bill Clinton, when he got sworn in, they said that fighter jets flew overhead. Somebody ducked and someone said, oh, don't worry, they're ours now. Bernie Sanders, who went with his wife to honeymoon in Soviet Russia. Bernie Sanders, the so-called peace guy. Now, I will hand it to Bernie Sanders because recently he's been calling for a ceasefire in Gaza. But it would behoove Bernie Sanders to stop calling himself the peace guy when consistently he always votes for the NDAA to continue funding the soldiers that he tells us

shouldn't be in certain areas. And yet he will continue to vote for the NDAA. Why? Because it's packed with pork. He also worked to get Boeing to open up offices in Vermont. Boeing, of course, one of the major defense contractors, so-called defense military contractors in the history of the planet Earth. They also make nuclear weapons. So Bernie Sanders calling himself a peace advocate is a bit of a stretch. However, I want to bring this up and I think this is valuable and it's a perfect time to do it based on your comments. We saw the story about Nikki Haley losing to the none of the above category, right? Okay, that I thought was a good thing to see. But I also want to note that if you go online, you'll see a very interesting story about former congressman who's now running for office.

In fact, I'll give you that one in just a minute because I don't want to lose track here. Just as far as the CNN coverage goes, let me show you just real quickly here. Look at this. CNN, if anybody's interested in this and you want to talk about, you know, journalistic integrity and things like that, check this out. CNN runs Gaza coverage past Jerusalem team operating under shadow of IDF censor. This is from January 4th from The Intercept, Daniel Boguslaw. He says, whether reporting from the Middle East, the United States, or anywhere else across the globe, every CNN journalist covering Israel and Palestine must submit their work for review by the news organization's Bureau in Jerusalem prior to publication under a longstanding CNN policy.

While CNN says the policy is meant to ensure accuracy in reporting on a polarizing subject, it means that much of the network's recent coverage of the war in Gaza and its reverberations around the world has been shaped by journalists who operate under the shadow of the country's military censor. Like all foreign news organizations operating in Israel, CNN's Journalism Bureau is subject to the rules of the Israel Defense Forces censor, which dictates subjects that are off-limits for news organizations to cover and censors articles it deems unfit or unsafe to print. As The Intercept reported last

month, the military censor recently restricted eight subjects, including security cabinet meetings, information about hostages, and reporting on weapons captured by fighters in Gaza. In order to obtain a press pass in Israel, foreign reporters must sign a document agreeing to abide by the dictates of the censor. That's CNN. That's CNN, the entity that is attacking Tucker Carlson. Okay. I don't think it's valid to attack Tucker Carlson in his attempt to interview Vladimir Putin. I think it is valid to criticize CNN for saying that they're going to get permission from the Israeli government before they put out reports. I do think this next criticism of Tucker Carlson from David Knight is quite worthwhile. I don't necessarily agree

with everything David says here, but I think it's worthwhile. I don't necessarily agree with everything David says here, but I think it's worthwhile. Check it out. Hold on a second. All right, here we go. But you're saying that pharma buys TV spots not to convince people to ask for specific drugs from their physicians, but to subvert the news business? This is an open secret working for pharma. I never thought of that. Great Scott.

Isn't that amazing? Great Scott, what a revelation. Who knew that? Did you know that? I think everybody knew that. Why does Tucker think that his listeners are that stupid, that gullible? This is a con man. He's playing a confidence game on you.

He's pretending that he didn't know that the $25 million salary, whatever it was, that he was getting from Fox News was paid for by these murderers and pharmaceutical companies. He didn't realize that they were buying influence with Fox News. He didn't realize when he threw to these reports from this phony doctor that they have there talking about how we gotta do this and that and gotta get the vaccine. And he goes down and he interviews Trump. You're gonna get the vaccine first or later? Well, if I do it first, they'll say that I'm gonna have the line. If I do it first, they'll say that I'm going to have the line. If I do it later, they'll say that I don't have any confidence in it. I don't know. We'll see what happens.

Well, we've all got to get the vaccine, right? Got to get the vaccine. Tucker threw to him. And he said, well, there you are. He knows all that stuff. Very good. Very good. Now, obviously,ucker knew that stuff and so i ask you and you know we i

can't put myself in this position in tucker's position i wasn't in his position okay so i want to be as as fair as possible even though as tucker was sort of making the rounds and trying to find his way and, you know, editing here and doing this and getting away from the bow tie look and all these things, I thought, do I like this guy or not like this guy? Sometimes he annoyed me and I was like, then he visited Alex and, you know, I had, who knew? Who knows? You know, David brings up some very good points about his, about his family and so on, being involved with the intelligence community. And David makes an excellent point about the fact that Tucker Carlson worked at Fox News and he did not speak up until just before he was going to be leaving and doing it only in an indirect way, talking about the MyPillow analogy and so on, very clearly sounding very nervous

as he went through it and said, imagine you had an advertiser say it was MyPillow and then you found out that MyPillow was involved with basically supporting your network and that network was pushing the mind pillow stuff but it turned out that the mind pillow was killing people so he's talking about essentially obviously he's talking about the the jabs the thing that gets me is you know and i i don't look at it as i look at that as he was getting ready to leave he finally got up the gumption to say something, still didn't have the guts to say it directly.

Maybe he was wondering about his contract and so on and so forth. So he went grudgingly, tried and, you know, sort of like a teenager trying to stand up to the bully and sort of like falling flat, that sort of thing. But the point that gets me is he had a lot of time to bring that up. And this is the question that I pose to you. And again, I don't want to judge Tucker Carlson in any way here, but I just pose the question. If you were in a position, and I've worked in radio, okay? If you were in a position where you knew by speaking up and leaving your job, you could save people's lives. Even if you knew you weren't saving lives. If you just knew you were speaking out the truth.

But we can maximize it because I knew right off the bat that those jabs were going to cause autoimmune problems. I knew immediately because I was familiar enough with virology and the immune system and human biology that I knew transfection was going to occur and I knew it was going to create an autoimmune system where the body was now going to be creating something that was non-human. It would be recognized as non-human by the human immune system and cause all sorts of problems. So, and it's even worse when you look at the pegylation and all the other types of things that were involved, the different amounts and the jabs and so on and so forth. We talk about Toby Keith's deaths and so

on. So, you know, let's say that Tucker was just so busy, it took him, he had plenty of time to find out what was going on and to also know that the numbers they were giving people about systems that were claiming that deaths that they had at the hospital that might have had a faulty PCR test saying that they had COVID, which probably wasn't the case either, but claiming that those deaths were from COVID, all the money they gave people to give them on intubation and things like that, all the ways that they incentivize things such that we can never, no one in history will ever know how many people died from this supposed virus or whatever. But beyond that, all of that stuff Tucker could have spoken about, right? Now, let me give you an example. When I worked in radio in New Hampshire, and I've mentioned this before, I had a friend come over from Siberia.

And she had grown up in Siberia. She wanted to go to law school here. And so I helped her find an apartment and talk to a couple of different law schools, sit in on some classes and so on. She was here for a week in 2007, I think. And so she started to notice a lot of things that just because of acclimation and normalcy bias, we frogs don't realize how hot that water is when it comes to the police state. And she noticed a lot of things. And she said, I've seen these things before in Siberia. So we were at the studio and I was getting ready to do my radio show. And I was going through the state of the state address by then Democrat New Hampshire governor John Lynch. I had the recording. I was

going through it, picking out sound cuts for my radio show. And she was over my shoulder in the studio and watching. And she started laughing as they introduced the governor and everyone's applauding. They're on their feet applauding. I was like, what's so funny, Nadia? She says, oh, it's just like all the old Soviet gatherings. They're just applauding the state. It's all this icon worship for the state. The state is the totem. This is where we do our good.

And I was like, you know, that's a really good point. They're applauding the state. So I was like, you know, Nadia, all these observations about the police like we got we were sledding on a hill and the police didn't want us on the hill at night and they were using a spotlight just crazy stuff crazy stuff that she noticed I said would you like to come on the last half hour of the show and talk about these things so she did and she came on and she was so powerful. She of sick was would listen to my show back at home and nadia and i went back to the house my mom cried because she was so affected by what nadia said and uh my dad had passed away by that time.

And my mom had grown up in a world where she saw it getting worse and worse. And she said, Nadia, you're right. You're right. And I have to tell you, the management of the station approached me after Nadia's segment before we saw my mom. And they said, did your girlfriend just compare our governor to a Soviet leader? Because that's what she said. I said, you know, Nadia, you don't want to tell people about what you saw there, how it was so similar to the old Soviet gatherings. And she described it. And I said, oh yeah, yeah. They said, well, that's not going to happen again. And I said, what? They said, guard, you got to understand, we want these people to advertise with us.

If you're doing that to the governor, if you're critical of the governor that way, they're not going to bring in their political ads on our station. And I was like, okay, whatever. I didn't stop. I told them I'm not going to stop. So they fired me eventually. They fired me. David Knight, January 6th, don't go. They fired him. You have choices. You make your choices. So Tucker Carlson had many opportunities to speak up. Now, I would want to be very kind and very fair to Tucker Carlson to let him explain

what went through his mind, how he wrestled with it. At what point did he decide, okay, I've had enough? Because clearly he did have enough. The question is, can I be critical of him of not speaking up more overtly and sooner. And of course, the background stuff. But as far as his interview goes with Vladimir Putin, first of all, to get criticism from CNN, after all of the unbelievable things CNN's been doing in Israel, with real slaughter happening right now, right? After what we know NATO did did in ukraine united states did in ukraine and expanding into the former warsaw pact nations contrary to the agreement of james baker that he verbally gave to the russians after all those things am i going to be critical of tucker carlson

for wanting to get an interview with a guy who, when he did what I think is improper, invaded Ukraine? I'm an anarchist, again. Actually, Vladimir Putin's points were all correct, as far as I could see. Of course I'm not. I'll be critical of CNN for trying to get people to prejudge information that hasn't even come out yet. You look at what he says and see. You look at the questions that Tucker Carlson asks and see. You look at Tucker Carlson's departure from Fox and you assess it and say, what would I have done in his situation?

Do I have enough information, right? I think there is valid criticism there. But by the same token, I wasn't in his shoes. So if I had been in his shoes, I would have left right off the bat, knowing that the pharma companies were investing in this. But not an issue. So just to lay that out there and give you that information. Now, to give you some more information about a guy who seems to stand for principle as far as peace goes, you'll find over on my Twitter slash X feed that I've posted the story about Dennis Kucinich.

And so if you see my story about Kucinich, you'll see that Kucinich left the RFK Jr. campaign because RFK Jr. said some terrible things about the Palestinians being the most coddled or privileged, is 100% in support of the Israeli government so-called having a right to defense. No government has, no state has any rights. Only people have rights. And as I stated, if you're a soldier and your firearm is in your hands and it came off the back of a taxpayer, you don't even have the right to self-defense with that weapon. You don't even have the right to self-defense with that weapon. You certainly don't have the right to self-defense when you're an occupying entity in Gaza. But if you go to my Twitter feed,

you'll see Dennis Kucinich is running once more for the House. He left the RFK Jr. campaign. This one is coming from AP News. This is from a while ago, but I wanted to hand it to him because he has spoken up. It's been good to see. I don't agree with him as far as the welfare state and the Constitution, but as far as peace goes, he's a guy who puts his money where his mouth is. Former Ohio Representative Dennis Kucinich running for a House seat again, this time as an independent. I wonder why the Democrat

party is not a good home for him anymore. Former Ohio Congressman and two-time Democrat presidential candidate Dennis Kucinich said Wednesday that he's running for Congress again, this time as an independent. He's 77. Former Cleveland mayor, who is consistently rated as one of the most liberal House members, said he's seeking the 7th District seat now held by Republican Representative Max Miller. Two Democrat hopefuls have also filed paperwork to seek their party's nomination. Referring to himself as someone who has shown he can work with Democrats and Republicans, Kucinich said the nation's ongoing political polarization and congressional gridlock are a threat to national security. So he also brings up the massive welfare warfare state and the lies of the federal government.

Let's look at another one. Did you notice CNN didn't seem to cover this? White House falsely declared it warned Iraq of impending airstrikes? Yeah, this came from the intercept. John Kirby made a statement last week that the United States had warned Iraq that it was going to strike supposed Iranian-connected forces inside Iraq. Well, the Iraqi government has asked the United States government forces to leave, the 2,500 troops at least that are there. The United States government has more than once refused to leave. The Iraqi government, if it has ties with Iran, has invited those people in.

But even there, they have not been able to show that the Iranians had any ties to these forces that were struck inside Iraq. And of course, we see another lie coming from the United States government. As Ken Klippenstein and Ryan Grim write, the U.S. did not notify the Iraqi government before conducting airstrikes in the country on Friday, contrary to an assertion by the White House that it did. During a press call on Friday, White House National Security Spokesperson Retired Admiral John Kirby said, quote, we did inform the Iraqi government prior to the strikes occurring. Well, whether you inform them or not, even if you had, it would have been unconstitutional. But let's continue. On Monday, in response to questions from the intercept, the White House said the Iraqis had not gotten advance warning of the strikes.

Quote, for operational security, we did not provide any kind of official pre-notification with specific details on these strikes, a National Security Council person acknowledged. During Monday's State Department press briefing, spokesperson person Vedant Patel also acknowledged the Iraqis had not gotten a warning. I know, shocker, right? All right, now let's hit this one. I think this is very worthwhile. This is coming, and now that I can show this on screen, this is coming from AntiWarNews.com. This is Dave DeCamp talking about Mitch McConnell and the $118 billion in aid. The bill will not become law, according to McConnell. Now, I'm going to amplify on this a little bit more to show you if you saw the speaker of the house he stated that the border bill was just not going to be happening in fact i'll show you footage in just a minute. It wasn't that the border bill was too porous or that, as I would

bring up, the federal government doesn't have anything to do with the border constitutionally. It was that he wanted a separate package for Israeli aid. Let's hear a little bit from Dave DeCamp as he talks about this $118 billion military aid bill that they're calling the border bill. All right, so the next one here, Mitch McConnell says that the $118 billion bill will not become law. So more good news, I think. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, Republican from Kentucky, he said on Tuesday that the $118 billion military aid and border bill that was unveiled over the weekend will likely not become law due to GOP opposition. He said, quote, we had a very robust discussion about whether or not this product could ever become law, and it's been made pretty clear

to us by the speaker that it will not become law, end quote. So a day earlier, the Associated Press reported that McConnell recommended to GOP senators that they vote against the first procedural vote on the bill that's expected to happen on Wednesday. Mike Johnson, the House speaker, has said that this bill is dead on arrival and he's looking to push forward the standalone resolution and that has failed. So the Republican opposition to the $118 billion is over the border policies. Senate negotiators spent months working on a border deal for the legislation, but Johnson said the House was left out. And Democrats are blaming Trump for this Republican opposition because Trump says he's against it, says Republicans should kill this bill. So Chuck Schumer said on Tuesday, quote, Leader McConnell and the Republican conference today, 180 degree reversal.

They're quaking at the knees in fear of Donald Trump, end quote. So this spending includes $60 billion for the proxy war in Ukraine, about $14 billion for Israel, $4.8 billion for Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region, and $2.44 billion for U.S. Central Command and this new war against the Houthis. So I think, you know, infighting and delays and them not agreeing on things is kind of the best that we could hope for right now is that this just gets pushed back and pushed back as much as possible. All right. So again, folks, just to show you real quick there, the spending bill includes 60 billion for the proxy war in Ukraine. You know, the hours and days have gone by since this information came out, but I want to use this to fold into something bigger. And it has to do with some very insightful points from Glenn Greenwald that I want to show you that I prepared. The spending bill includes $60 billion for the proxy war in Ukraine, about $14 billion for Israel, $4.8 billion for Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific region,

and $2.44 billion for U.S. Central Command and President Biden's new war against the Houthis in Yemen. It also includes $20 billion for border spending. Okay. So just keep that in mind. Of this $118 billion bill, if you believe that the federal government has something to do with the border, that they call the border bill $118 billion. 20 went to the border. And looking at that, a lot of people haven't broken that down. And you'll see this. You'll get a little hint of this when we hear from Glenn Greenwald,

and I'll give you a preview right now. That's not even the border. Give you a preview right now. That's not even the border. Give you a hint. In certain reports, and I've got one of my tabs saved on this, in certain reports, you're going to be hearing from governors of various states like Massachusetts, Maura Healey, where of course she claimed that there was an emergency. Then they turned to Alejandro Mayorkas, who, by the way, is not going to be impeached. They've withdrawn the impeachment. It's not going to happen of Mayorkas. But they want federal money. A lot of that money is not going to be going to the border that you want to be protected by the central government conservatives,

even though I thought you were opposed to central command and control and you were supposedly constitutionalists and the word immigration is not in the constitution. Jefferson and Madison both stated that handling of migrants and immigrants is a state purview, unless, of course, the states claim that they are having a problem and their government is threatened. Then Article 4, Section 4 allows them to ask for federal help. That's all, which Abbott has done. But what I think is quite interesting here is that this money is not just supposedly for border protection and stopping people on the Rio Grande and the Arizona border or anything like that. This is more money. This $20 billion, this little chunk is more money. Part of it is going to go to Chicago, New York, Massachusetts to give more housing and free food to the migrants.

That's part of it. It's a handout deal. It is part of the parallel to the military industrial complex that you're seeing with all this money going to the proxy war in Ukraine and Israel and so on and so forth. That itself, as we hear from Mitch McConnell's side, the information that I got on Mitch McConnell and so on from Glenn Greenwald, when we think about this, it's about weapons contractors and it's about giving money to special favors for special favors for politicians in various states, in addition to putting up the front that they're going to protect the border, which of course they're not going to protect the border. The Republicans, many of them don't want to protect it either.

Donald Trump didn't do much at all because they want to perpetuate the problem so they can use it as a campaign issue to get more money to claim, we're going to fix it now. We're going to fix it now. So let me show you this from Glenn Greenwald as he did an absolutely spectacular job covering this story. Here we go from Glenn Greenwald. And of course, he is exclusive on Rumble. Causes when in reality, 77 billion of this 120 billion is solely to pay for Ukraine and Israel's wars. There's a bunch of money in there for the new war in Yemen. We're also going to devote $10 million to giving humanitarian aid to the Palestinians in Gaza. So we're paying Israel to destroy Gaza, and then we're paying for the humanitarian aid that they now need to not starve to the out-the-out of mass-treatable infections.

So we're, I wouldn't say financing both sides of the war because we give way more to Israel than to the Palestinians, but we're paying for Israel to destroy Gaza and then paying to try and assuade your own conscience about the kind of human suffering that's there. So you have $10 billion going to Gaza. That's now 87 billion of the 120. You have another 5 billion for more aggression in the area around China. You have several billion more for the new campaign that we're bombing in Yemen. And so by the time you actually look at it, a very small percentage of this actually goes to American citizens that has any effect on their life. Yet, as a result, what really happened as soon as this bill got unveiled, the populists in the Republican Party do something liberals in the Democratic Party never do.

They revolted against their leadership. And they said, there's no way that you can support this bill. Donald Trump came out and said this bill should be immediately rejected. And as a result, according to Reuters, quote, House of Representatives Speaker Mike Johnson declared the bill, quote, dead on arrival if it even reaches his chamber. Quote, this bill is even worse than we expected and won't come close to ending the border catastrophe the president has created, he said in a statement on X formerly called Twitter. How long are we going to have to, by the way, qualify every time we say X by

reminding people that that's actually Twitter? It's so annoying to have to, by the way, qualify every time we say X by reminding people that that's actually Twitter? It's so annoying to have to say. It's been months since it's been renamed. Anyway, the article goes on, quote, the Democratic and Republican Senate backers of the wide-ranging U.S. border security and foreign military aid bill pledged to push ahead despite opposition by Donald Trump as well. In addition to $20 billion for border security, the bill included $60 billion to support Ukraine in its war with Russia, $14 billion in security assistance for Israel, and that number is really closer to $17 billion, $2.4 billion to the U.S. Central Command in the conflict in the Red Sea,

and $4.83 billion to support U.S. partners in the Indo-Pacific facing aggression from China. According to figures from Senator Patty Murray, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee. to support U.S. partners in the Indo-Pacific facing aggression from China, according to figures from Senator Patty Murray, who chairs the Senate Appropriations Committee. Now, what they really mean, you see how everything's always phrased to push the foreign policy position in the United States, that $5 billion for the seas near China are not to protect American allies under attack. It's to deploy more and more military in the immediate vicinity of China. Basically keep them militarily encircled in a way that

obviously the United States would never tolerate China doing to the United States. Here's a chart just to give you a visual idea of how little of this money actually goes to the United States and to the lives of American citizens. So here is the, just going to grab my little pen that I love to use. Here is U.S. border security. I'm going to try and get these pens up here if we can do that. Is that possible? We had to erase that. Here is for U.S. border security. I'm making a mess of these pens. But here, U.S. border security is $20 billion. That's the only thing that is even arguably going toward the United States. And a lot of that $20 billion is not related to border security.

It's to fund NGOs that represent asylum seekers. It's to help sanctuary cities with more financing, blue state mayors and blue state governors that are defending it, that are demanding it. But let's just even be generous and let's say that all $20 billion is going to fortify the border of the United States. Members of both political parties are saying in polls they regard this immigration problem as a major priority. And here you have, you can just see graphically, $60 billion for Ukraine, $14 billion for Israel, $10 billion for Gaza, $5 billion for the Indo-Pacific, and $ 2.4 billion dollars for quote red sea conflicts red sea conflicts that we are now

fighting by virtue of our support for israel the houthi began attacking american ships because there are they argued the united states was the country financing the war in israel or the war in gaza helping israel destroy Gaza. So there's just another cost of our tying ourselves to the hips with Israel and financing its war. So you just see graphically what the priorities are of bipartisan Washington has nothing to do with the lives of the American people. Now, here from Bloomberg is a little bit of analysis about who really is benefiting most from this bill. And I know it'll shock you to find out that it's the U.S. defense industry that is going to profit enormously from this bill. Surprise. U.Ss defendant industry would get 35 billion dollar boon in the senate

ukraine border deal lockheed martin rtx general dynamics are among those boosted by spending on artillery air defense and submarines quote lockheed martin rtx general dynamics boeing northrop goodman and hill formerly known as huntington eagles oh it's h uh i i believe yeah huntington ingalls industry are among the companies likely to gain the most business from the overall package the deal will help the u.s invest in its own defense industrial base and support american jobs producing weapons and equipment the U.S. can send to Ukraine, a senior administration official said. Do you see what they do? Someone from the Biden White House came and delivered propaganda to Bloomberg. Bloomberg wrote the first two paragraphs of their article based on White House propaganda and added,

and a senior administration official said, So they gave him anonymity. Why? He wasn't spilling any secrets in an unauthorized way. He was giving Bloomberg its propagandistic framework for how to understand this. In other words, they're trying to say, yeah, I know it seems like we're sending all these billions of dollars to other countries, but don't worry, it's going to go into the pockets of the military industrial complex which in turn will help you it's all about helping you that's the reason why they're fueling these wars in other countries senior administration now before i go any further everybody and this is part of the presentation i want to give to you some extended clips from glenn greenwald's presentation here to

sort of fit this together to show the forces that are pushing the legislation. Okay. When I did my journalism internship on Washington, DC, you could see a lot of this stuff happening right in front of you in some of these conference rooms. And it was just vile and disgusting. You know, you go out in the hallways, they're meeting with each other and stuff. But I didn't see a lot of the defense contractor stuff but i was aware of that sort of thing and um in a moment glenn greenwald is going to replay what i played a little bit earlier of chuck schumer okay um and he's going to make an observation that you probably noticed as well. And I think it deserves amplification or at least reiteration as he expresses something that is key in this observation. We'll continue with Glenn Greenwald's presentation real quick. would receive $10.6 billion in its fight against Hamas, including $4 billion for its Iron Dome

and David Slang defensive systems, both made by Rafael Advanced Defense Systems and the U.S.-based RTX. It would also receive $1.2 billion from the laser-based Iron Beam air defense system made by Rafael, an Israeli company. The Senate bill includes $2.4 billion to support U.S. operations in the Middle East and to cover combat expenditures for weapons to counter Iranian-backed groups who have attacked Red Sea shipping and American troops and allies stationed in Iraq and Syria. Isn't it remarkable that if you look at every poll going back a decade now, Americans overwhelmingly say they want these endless wars in the Middle East to stop.

And as a result, you have politicians constantly promising when they run for office that they're going to put an end to endless war in the Middle East. And yet over and over and over and over again, bipartisan Washington concocts reasons to ensure that we are constantly in endless war. In the Middle East, you have to go back to the 1970s to find the last decade when the United States was not bombing Iraq. Now, you can debate the motives,

but the reality is that the priorities of Washington clearly is to ensure that endless war remains endless. And while they can't hide any longer who the real beneficiaries are, the arms industry that funds both parties' campaigns, now they're pretending that, oh, don't worry, when they get rich, you do well also. You should cheer for higher profits for the military-industrial complex because the benefits will trickle down to you.

Hear from Responsible Statecraft on February 2nd, earlier this week. Congress is poised to cede more foreign weapons oversight. Why? The new bill would speed up the delivery of deadly arms while scaling back the ability of elected representatives to monitor the implications. At a time of record U.S. weapons sales and many wars, the House Foreign Affairs Committee has decided that Congress should provide less rather than more oversight of the booming business. Current law requires the executive branch to notify Congress of a proposed weapons deal over a certain dollar threshold. Congress then has 15 or 30 days, depending on whether the country is a treaty ally or not, to review the transaction before the administration can proceed. But if Congress is not even notified about a sale the administration is planning, there's absolutely no chance it can block the transfer. This arms industry-backed deal,

this arms industry-backed bill the House is marking up, raises the dollar threshold for notice to Congress substantially by 66 percent and would dramatically reduce the number of potential sales Congress has told about each year. In addition to exempting more sales from its own oversight, with this bill, Congress would require the Secretary of State to take weapons from U.S. government stocks for delivery to foreign forces in cases where the production and delivery of the weapons is taking more than three years. It would achieve this through the use of, quote, drawdown authority, an emergency mechanism used at very large scale to move weapons from u.s stockpiles to ukraine over the past two years in some if congress were to

pass this bill it would have less knowledge of which weapons are being transferred to which countries and less ability to ensure that transfers are consistent with u.s law policy and interests do you see how everything they think about doing is benefiting the corporate donors in the arms industry that finances both of the parties' campaigns? So that you can vote for Republicans, you can vote for Democrats, and this industry will be served. Now, here's something I find unbelievable about an admission that Mitch McConnell made during the process of negotiating this bill. Here from the New York Times on January 25th, about two weeks ago, less than two weeks ago, the argument was that all of this is from Trump. Trump strengthens his grip on Capitol Hill

as he presses nomination, the president's former opposition. The former president's opposition to this bill has all but killed the prospects for a bipartisan border deal, reflecting how his influence in Congress has grown as he gains ground in the Republican primary. Republicans are, quote, in a quandary, Mr. McConnell said in a closed-door meeting on Wednesday, according to lawmakers who attended. What was supposed to be the sweetener for conservatives opposed to sending tens of billions of dollars to Ukraine had become just as politically treacherous terrain as the foreign aid itself, he acknowledged. In other words, what the Biden administration was saying was, look, we want as our priority to send $60 billion to Ukraine. Why is that the administration's priority heading into an election year? To send 60 billion dollars to keep the war going in Ukraine.

Think about that. Why is that their priority when it's not Ukrainians who will vote for them, but Americans? Because what determines elections is who finances campaigns. And the administration said, we know we told our voters when we got elected that we're going to end all of Trump's immoral and repressive restrictions on immigration. We are so desperate, though, to fund this war in Ukraine, to send another $60 billion to Ukraine, that we, the Biden White House and the Democratic Party, are willing to screw over our own supporters and abandon the promises we made to them by embracing at least some of the immigration restrictions that we were denouncing as immoral and even Nazi-like when Donald Trump was advocating them. Now, the reality is this is not, if you're looking for border security, this bill does not give you that it allocates more money to more border security so people like the border patrol are happy with it because it gives them a lot more

funding but in terms of actually trying to reduce the number of people illegally entering the country if that's a priority of yours this bill would not go very far at all in doing that. And the reason. So now I'm going to take a quick detour from what Glenn mentioned and now bring up something that I've been looking at. First off, on the defense side, here is this from January 11th. Just want to remind you of this. U.S. failed to track more than $1 billion in military gear given to Ukraine, Pentagon Watchdog says. And don't forget that Rand Paul wanted to have oversight. He wasn't supportive of handing the weapons to Ukraine, but he said, just like Ron Paul, his father, when they wanted to invade Iraq, I don't support this.

But if you're going to do this, do it properly and have a declaration of war. Rand Paul did not support handing the weapons to Ukraine, but he said, if you're going to do it, at least have some sort of oversight to find out what's happening with this. And of course, that got shot down. So I want to turn now to this story out of... Let me see if I got this. Yes, here it is. This is Politico. And last night, when I knew I was going to be sitting in today, I wanted to make sure I got this information to you to tie this into what I had observed from Glenn Greenwald. Here's the story from Politico.

And you'll see the headline here. Biden gets help from blue state governors as border deal falters. There's Joe Biden with the governor of New York, governor Kathy Hochul. Now you got to dig into this a little bit, but I knew when I was, my instincts were pretty strong. I knew that the border bill, when I started to see Glenn Greenwald talking about why would it be so important to get this funding for $60 billion more for sending weapons to Ukraine? Well, of course, the weapons contractors to help the financing of elections for people like all the other folks other than probably Dennis Kucinich, right? So that's a very key thing. Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, all those people, even the governor of the gubernatorial candidate, Kelly Ayotte, all these folks, Nikki Haley. So I started the program talking about Nikki Haley in South Carolina.

One of the things I want to bring up is if you look at the debate between New Hampshire and South Carolina and other states here in New Hampshire, it's pretty well understood by anybody who's skeptical of government that the New Hampshire politicians and the political class in both the Democrat and the Republican parties have pushed very strongly to have New Hampshire always be the first in the nation primary. Why? Well, first of all, that gives a lot of power to the parties to be able to control politics in New Hampshire. But second of all, that allows the political players in New Hampshire to feedback in the feedback loop to make sure that New Hampshire has leverage over those politicians, that they will promise things to New Hampshire. New Hampshire will get gravy because if those politicians don't treat New Hampshire well, then they won't be received well in New Hampshire. How does that tie into the military-industrial complex? Same sort of thing, of course.

If the politicians don't treat the military-industrial complex well, they won't get the support for their re-elections or their elections. Similarly, in this story from Politico, when I went to go look for this, I found it. Here it was. I don't even remember the terms I used for my search. Lisa Kaczynski writes this, and it came up yesterday. The White House is turning to blue state governors to help salvage its border deal that appears to be on the brink of collapse. Democrat governors whose states are grappling with a surge of migrants have been in talks with the White House about turning up the pressure on Congress to pass the Senate bill as Republicans threatened to doom the deal,

according to two state officials familiar with the conversations about who were granted anonymity to discuss the strategy. So again, right there, they're not saying anything about the Constitution. If you are a reporter and you're reporting on something to do with the U.S. government, you would think you would try to familiarize yourself with the internal mechanism of how the government's supposed to work. You know, if you're writing for say popular science or popular mechanics, you might want to find out the engineering behind, say, a component for a car or something like that. How does it work?

How's it supposed to work? No, they don't do that. The way that they see it is how's it supposed to work? No, they don't do that. The way that they see it is how it's supposed to work is the political angling. It's the personalities, it's the hands, it's the graph, it's all that stuff. And that's totally fine for them. That's the way the system works, not the constitutional way that the government tells us they're going to operate by, but the superficial way, the horse race, the trade-offs, all that stuff, that's the normal way that they see it here at Politico. And that's the way that at first you get this impression of, oh, I see. So he's relying on these blue state governors to try to pass the border bill for this support down at the border. So obviously the implication at the opening of this article is

these blue state governors are very concerned because they're seeing influxes into their states and they want the border bill to be passed. They're implying this at first when you read this, they want this border bill to be passed to stop the influx of migrants coming into, say, New York State, Massachusetts, Illinois, Chicago, that sort of thing, right? So their incentive, as we get the first blush on this Politico article, is their incentive is we're going to stop this influx of migrants. We're going to get tougher U.S. government central command and control power on the border so that the problems we're having in this state will be reduced. We'll see fewer migrants coming to Massachusetts, being put up

in holiday inns or outside of Gillette Stadium when the Army-Navy game is going to be going on, that sort of thing, right? That's the first blush that they give you in this piece, but that's not what it is. It's all about money handoffs. That's what it's about. Democrat governors, again, whose states are grappling with a surge of migrants, have been in talks with the White House about turning up the pressure on Congress to pass the Senate bill as Republicans threaten to doom the deal. Yes, wonderful reporting there, Lisa, according to two state officials familiar with the conversations who were granted anonymity to discuss the strategy. The White House also confirmed it has been in talks with elected leaders across the country about supporting the bill.

OK, OK. See, obviously they don't want all these migrants in there. So that must be what's going on, right? According to Kathy Hochul on Morning Joe, she said, we're going on offense because guess what? There was a solution sitting right in front of you. New York Governor Kathy Hochul said Tuesday of Republicans on MSNBC's Morning Joe. Hochul continued, it was gift wrapped. You could have taken it. You could have helped solve this problem. And I guarantee Republican governors on the border wanted this to happen. End quote. OK, that's what Kathy Hochul stated. It was gift wrapped. I think gift is the operative part there. Democrat leaders in northern cities and states are now on the front lines. These, of course, people who have spoken in the past, like the governor of

Massachusetts, Maura Healey, saying that they were 100% in favor of so-called sanctuary cities and so on and so forth. Well, curiously, they have in political, Democrat leaders in northern cities and states are now on the front lines of the migrant crisis, and they have long been pressuring Congress and President Joe Biden to toughen up on the southern border. Again, giving this impression, toughen up on the southern border. That's what they want, these northern cities, these northern governors, all these mayors, those people who are involved on the left-wing side, they want a tougher border policy. That's the impression they give you at Politico. So you've got to dig in a little further because you know eventually it's going to come down to something different.

Yes, I'm sure it will. Yep. But with a deal now on the table, they're playing proxy for the White House in a battle that looks increasingly likely that Biden and his allies will lose. Hochul in particular has seized the bully pulpit in a state that has seen more than 180,000 new migrants since 2022, berating New York's House Republicans in television appearances and press conferences for trying to tank the deal in a flash of uncharacteristic aggressiveness. So this coming from the woman who wants to give them free housing, free medicine, free food. And of course we saw New York mayor, Eric Adams saying that he can't handle all these migrants. And then of course we found out just after that, that he

wants to give them $1,000 prepaid cards because, you know, he's so concerned about the influx that he has to attract them by saying, I'm going to hand you more stuff. That's kind of odd, isn't it? Is there something peculiar about that? Very peculiar, very queer. Hochul is threatening to make its failure, the bills of failure, a cudgel in key congressional races, New York City suburbs. Well, Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is also going on the offensive, calling on House Republican leaders who declared the bill dead on arrival to quit their election year posturing and pass it without delay. Colorado Governor Jared Polis, too, has re-upped his calls for Congress to act rather than complain endlessly about the lack of border

security. Let's finally secure the border, Polis posted on X. Really? Is that really what you want? Is that really what they want? Well, we know that Hochul, when she declared an emergency, made sure that that kicked in a 1986 Mike Dukakis-era statute that requires the state to give two years of housing to families that claim sanctuary, and they have to give them food and medicine. New York, they do this for individuals in New York City. They have a similar statute in New York City and they're sweetening the deal with even more money. They're giving legal aid to people

who claim sanctuary status in Massachusetts. Now, again, there's nothing in the federal constitution that blocks Massachusetts and New York from doing this, but the hypocrisy of these people is stunning, and the immorality of it is also quite stunning. claiming they're having a problem with the migrants as they incentivize more migrants to come in. And then they claim that they want the border bill to pass. But it really isn't about stopping the migrants. It's actually about getting more money, just like the defense contractors with the international stuff. You have to go a little further and it says this, Republicans, including some GOP lawmakers, are showing no signs of listening to the president or his Democrat deputies. GOP infighting in the

Senate is diminishing the bill's chances of passing the upper chamber and Biden is even losing support for the deal within his own party. But Democrat governors and mayors who've run out of resources to serve the tens of thousands of migrants who have flooded into their states and cities have little choice but to fight for the deal. Quote, we don't expect it to be perfect. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said Monday to CNN on the border bill, but, quote, we have moms and kids sleeping on the streets in tents, and we're also looking at a $180 million impact to our budget this year without, you got it, support. Without support. They want money, and both of those are unacceptable to us. That is why the woman that you see pictured here, Maura Healey, turned to Alejandro Mayorkas when she declared an emergency. And that's the reason she declared the emergency, for money. She wanted money. wrote a letter to Biden and the Congress to urge a remedy to a humanitarian crisis. The $118 billion deal, a bipartisan group of senators put forward on Sunday,

would throw billions of dollars at border security, overhaul the asylum process, and give the president the authority to shut down the southern border once crossing reach a certain threshold. But only after, after 5,000 per day for a week. Otherwise, he can't. Okay, again, conservatives, look at the Constitution. The central government isn't your answer. It includes key provisions that Democrat mayors and governors have been advocating for, such as speeding up work authorizations for asylum seekers and funneling $1.4 billion into a program that sends money to local governments for the migrants.

Those funds are sorely needed in Massachusetts, a right-to-shelter state that is spending more than $45 million a month providing shelter and basic services. They want money. Now, let's go back to cap it off. We'll talk once more to Glenn Greenwald. Glenn, hit me. is because the person who negotiated the bill on behalf of the Republican Party, Mitch McConnell, has acknowledged that he doesn't care about border security either, at least nowhere near as much as he cares about sending this money to Ukraine. In other words, Mitch McConnell has the same

priority as Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer. So when he was negotiating, he was on the same side as them. And he was just there to pretend that Republican Party voters had a representative in this process. And yet here's what The New York Times said. This is an amazing admission. Mitch McConnell himself regards the border deal as less important than sending military aid to Ukraine. It's less important, the border deal. What is more important to him? Sending military aid to Ukraine. So Mitch McConnell is the head of a party that has said forever that border security is its top priority and that increasingly is opposed to sending

more money to the war in Ukraine. And yet Mitch McConnell admits that his priority has nothing to do with the voters he supposedly represents. Now think about this way as well. Mitch McConnell represents a state, Kentucky, that is one of the poorest states in the country. They have extremely low literacy rates as compared to other states, a low life expectancy, very poor access to education, higher education, and health care. You would think, right, that the person elected to the Senate to represent the people of Kentucky would prioritize bills that benefit the lives of the American people in general and the people of Kentucky. That's the

concept of how the system is supposed to work. Now, there you see, obviously, difference of opinion between where I stand and where Glenn Greenwald stands, where I stand on the Constitution and morally. It's not the place of the politician to be handing stuff out to supposedly help people in Kentucky either, folks who might be poor, that sort of thing. It's not my place to try to do that through the force of government. And it's certainly not constitutional. As Davy Crockett said in his 1830 speech, Not Yours to Give, during his second term in Congress, he learned very early on from a farmer in Tennessee that when he originally voted to send money over to help some people who had lost houses in Georgetown due to a fire, later he went back

home, met a farmer, and the farmer said, you don't have the power to do that. It's not your money. It's not in the Constitution. Now, I should should mention as an anarchist, even if it were in the constitution, the constitution has no authority over anyone. That's like a group of people who say, we got a hundred people together. We signed this document. We're going to operate by this and we can amend it. And we've just amended it it to say we can take more of your stuff. The Constitution is not authoritative. It has no authority. That is just a translation of people from centuries ago writing something down and other people promising that they're going to abide by it. But again, regardless of whether they abide by it or not, even if they did, logically and structurally speaking, morally speaking, people claiming they have authority over you doesn't mean they have

authority over you. Okay. Now I would be happier if they were to operate by the constitution rather than the way they're going now. But again, this shows a bit of a difference of opinion that I have with a guy who I think is very good on peace and privacy and things like that, Glenn Greenwald, and does excellent reporting. We have just a difference of opinion on the morality of social welfare programs and what the constitution might say. And we could probably have a fine

conversation about it and probably walk away friends and say, okay, we disagree on this. But of course, I would be successful in pointing out that there's nothing in the Constitution that allows it. And I would also logically be superior on the argument, I think, to say, I never signed the Constitution. I don't give my permission just by existing that the Constitution applies to me. Because that opens the door to anybody who has enough people to sign a piece of paper saying we have control over you to say we have control over you. It doesn't work that way. And yet Mitch McConnell's top priority, according to him, something he's willing to sacrifice everything for, including the top priority of the Republican Party, which is border security, is something that has nothing to do with the lives of people of Kentucky or benefiting the

lives of American citizens to send $60 billion over to Kiev with no accountability in order to keep that war going. Next week I'm going to be traveling, so we're getting some shows and interviews ready while I'm traveling. And earlier today we conducted an interview with Rand Paul, the Republican senator from Kentucky, the other one, that I'm very excited to show you about. And one of the things I as I was preparing for this interview that I remember. Is that when Democrats were joining with Republicans to send billions and billions and billions more to the war in Ukraine, Rand Paul set up and said, look, I'm against this, but I know it's going to pass. So all I want to do is assign an inspector general to monitor where this money is going when we send it to Ukraine,

whether or not it's reaching its intended destination, whether or not it's being used for the purposes that we tell the American people we're sending this money for. And the Senate on a bipartisan basis overwhelmingly rejected Senator Paul's attempt to impose oversight scrutiny on the use of this money, this disbursement of money to Ukraine. Why? Why would they do that? And of course, now we're getting all kinds of reports that people close to Zelensky and people in Ukraine have been embezzling tens of millions of dollars, the most predictable thing in the world. Why would Mitch McConnell, beyond wanting to send $60 billion to Ukraine when he represents the Republican Party in the state of Kentucky, also block efforts by his fellow

senator from Kentucky just to put some oversight on that money. As soon as that inspector general began monitoring the flow of money to Afghanistan, he began discovering enormous amounts of abuse and embezzlement and theft and disappearing money. That was why Mitch McConnell didn't want it. He doesn't want his precious war to be questioned or reflected poorly on by showing evidence of where that money is actually going. There are a lot of people profiting from this war, a lot of people in Kiev and Washington. The people who are not profiting are the American people who are being saddled with debt.

When we finance Ukraine's war, we're borrowing that money from China and saddling Americans with debt to fuel this war. And if you think Mitch McConnell and the establishment leadership of the Republican Party have anything in their mind having anything remotely to do with the welfare of the American people, I think you need to look again. The evidence is so clear right before you that it has nothing to do with it. Now, here's Mitch McConnell's ally and partner, and I would say ideological fellow traveler, Chuck Schumer. It says it all, that the two senators who lead the two opposition parties in Washington are in full

agreement. They're in full alignment on most everything in terms of the priorities of Washington. He went on MSNBC and warned of how scary it will be if we can't keep that war in Ukraine going. Here's what he told Mika Brzezinski, whose dad was the national security advisor for the Carter administration. We're at a turning point in America. This bill is crucial and history will look back on it and say, did America fail itself? Why is it crucial? Well, if we don't aid Ukraine, Putin will walk all over Ukraine. We will lose the war, and we could be fighting in Eastern Europe in a NATO ally in a few years. Americans won't like that. If we don't help Israel defend itself against Hamas, that perpetual war will go on and on and on. If we don't help

humanitarian aid to the starving Palestinians in gaza hundreds of thousands could starve and the border everyone has said it's chaos a speaker you just saw speaker johnson he said it's chaos we have to do something legislative a few months ago but what has happened in answer your to your question so this is crucial for america it's a turning point history is going to look over our shoulders and say did we rise to the occasion to his credit mitch mcconnell did but too many republicans m shoulders and say did we rise to the occasion to his credit Mitch McConnell did but too many Republicans Mitch McConnell rose to the occasion to his credit Chuck Schumer says because they are behind this bill and they both think exactly the same thing we need to send billions more to Israel to finance it's where we need to spend billions more on Ukraine to finance that war. Then we have to throw a small amount into America's own border to cast the illusion

that they kind of also care about the United States. It's a bill that people on the right who have prioritized stopping illegal immigration took one look out and laughed in their face as they read the bill and what it permits. But look at how these two parties, the leadership of them, do you see how they have the same exact views on the most fundamental questions? And here's Chuck Schumer trying to tell you that the reason we have to finance the war in Ukraine is because if we don't, then Putin's going to what? Attack Poland and then on to Germany and then on to France and suddenly we're going to be involved in a new war. Do any of you believe that? Do any of you believe that Putin has broad ambitions to go to war by invading NATO countries and forcing the United States?

Do you think that's what Putin wants? Do you think that's a reasonable or likely fear-mongering scenario as to why you have to stop Russia and Ukraine? Of course not. And of course, if you flip it and see the expansion of NATO into the Warsaw Pact, former Iron Curtain nations, it's the exact opposite since the 1990s of what the west has been doing to those eastern nations final bit from glenn greenwald here on the david knight show excellent stuff from glenn greenwald beyond the fact that there's no hope for that war the ukrainians just don't have any people to fight it any longer no matter how much we give them in money we can't provide the artillery they need and they don't have the citizens to fight in this war. Increasingly, Ukrainian men are saying no and are doing everything possible to evade the draft because they know they're being sent as cannon fodder to the front lines for a war that is completely futile.

That is enriching Western elites andian elites and has very little to do with the security of their country let's listen to the rest yeah including speaker johnson are just scared to death of donald trump donald trump has said he wants chaos donald trump has said we'll wait till i become president that'll take at least a year. Ukraine could be gone. The border will get much worse. War in the Middle East will get worse, maybe bringing us into it. He's doing it all for political reasons. And let me just say, will senators, the crucial question, the $64,000 question, the majority of Republican senators know this bill is the right thing to do. It's a compromise. I don't like everything in it. Neither does McConnell. But it's a compromise. That's the only way you get things important done in the Senate. We proved that two years ago in our

bipartisan legislation. And will the senators drown out the political noise from Trump and his minions and do the right thing for America? It's a crucial America. First of all, as we're about to hear when we get to the segment about the media reaction to Tucker Carlson confirming the interview with Vladimir Putin, they're all pretending today that they hate interviews, that they have an adversarial pushback to them. That everybody in powerful positions needs to be challenged. Chuck Schumer is reading talking points from his prepared paper that his staff prepared. You can see him doing it right here. Watch as he looks down. Question. History is looking down.

And will the senators drown out? He's reading talking points. That's why he has his glasses on. I use glasses to read. I would never go on TV and in front of a camera and use my glasses because I'm not reading anything that's in front of me. I don, because I want to point out a couple things. First of all, Chuck Schumer, just to show you the freeze frame here, this fatuous character, this slimy eel-like personality of Chuck Schumer has the gall to talk about the United Nations UNRWA, the United Nations Emergency Recovery Organization, that has been helping people in Palestine, in Gaza, with food and aid and things like that. Now, I'm opposed to the United Nations on moral grounds, on constitutional grounds and so on. But I got to interview Craig Murray recently, Craig Murray, former ambassador for the UK. And he was at The Hague. I had him on my, you can find it on the Liberty Conspiracy page at Rumble and Rockfin and so on. And I hope to have Craig on again. He talked to me from the UK and he was at The Hague and he watched the arguments that were presented against Israel for against on the claims of genocide that were brought up by the African South African government.

And he did a terrific job going over those things. And I really appreciated being able to chat with him. But one of the things that he brought up was, and we talked about this, I actually brought it up to him, was that immediately after the decision from the International Court of Justice regarding the Israeli genocide accusations, now they have to work out, Israel's supposed to stop these things, supposed to be a check on them. That's not going to happen. But immediately after that, the UK, the United States, and other nation states cut their funding off from the United Nations emergency aid organization. And they claimed that there were members of it that had been involved with the

attacks on october 7th well uh it turns out that that is not the case they have not presented evidence this might surprise you, but this weird lamp. Let's show you what comes to us from antiwar.com. I think you'll find this worthwhile. Check it out. So the next one here, Israel has failed to provide evidence for the UNRWA Hamas ties claim. So this is one from Kyle at the Libertarian Institute, and it says news outlets with access to the summary of an intelligence dossier that claims employees of the U.N. aid

agency for Palestinians participated in the Hamas attack say that it does not include evidence to back up the claim. So if you remember, I covered something Kyle wrote yesterday that said Israel is not giving up this intelligence dossier that it has that supposedly shows these unruh employees were involved in the October 7th Hamas attack well Channel 4 the the British television Channel and the Daily Beast both reviewed a six-page summary of the dossier and they found that there's nothing there. There's no actual evidence to prove the Israeli claim. And again, this is something that the U.S. jumped on. Israel made the allegations and they cut off UNRWA the same day that the ICJ ruled that it's plausible Israel is committing a genocide. Now, again, just to pause this, did you hear either Mika Brzezinski or Chuck Schumer as Chuck Schumer tried to portray his heart on his sleeve to bring aid to those people that are being slaughtered by the weapons that the United States flee to Khan Yunus in the south. And then, of course, they started blasting Khan Yunus in Gaza.

Did you hear anything about that? Did you hear anything about, for example, the reports that I mentioned on Liberty Conspiracy about how even going back to 2018, the Israelis were in charge of the water in Gaza and that they were depleting the water sources there. Did you hear him talk about that? I didn't. Did you? No. And did you hear either of them when they are talking about getting the humanitarian aid to the very place where, of course, they're telling the Israelis, well, you better use those weapons we're giving you in a very, very targeted way. And they continue to do it despite what the Israelis, well, you better use those weapons we're giving you in a very, very targeted way. And they continue to do it despite what the Israelis continue to show them.

They don't care. And they're not going to fund the United Nations Relief and Works Agency, UNRWA. They're not going to fund it after the very valid arguments were made and the court ruled that, yes, it is likely that Israel is engaged in genocide. So they vindictively put this new policy in place. And then he, Mr. Schumer, has the gall to talk about getting humanitarian aid to those people in Gaza. Unbelievable. just incredible. They seem much more interested in making sure that the military-industrial complex is funded, and I'm sure Dennis Kucinich

will probably talk about this, than they are in making sure that innocent women and children are not pulverized and not starved to death in that region. It seems very clear to me that Chuck Schumer has 100% confidence in the Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu pulling off another Nakba and flushing those people out of that region and then taking it over. That seems to be the agenda. Let's get the final bit from Dave DeCampo of Antiwar. In Gaza, ignore all the allegations about the IDF, about the military that they're funding, you know, to the hilt with all these bombs and stuff. Ignore all those allegations. But the second there's allegations about UNRWA, cut them off even as Palestinians, hundreds of

thousands of Palestinians are starving to death. All right. So the next one here, shocking spike in the legal force against Palestinians in the West Bank. This is another one from Kyle at the Libertarian Institute. And it says a new report from Amnesty International documents that over the past four months, Israeli forces unleashed a brutal wave of violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank. Did you hear them talk about that on on Mika Brzezinski's show? No, you didn't. Now, to round it all off, everybody, I want to give you one final bit. We were talking about Tucker Carlson going into Russia, getting all this criticism from

CNN, the double standard of CNN, where they have to have their stories vetted by the IDF. And in the past, they actually interviewed Osama bin Laden. Didn't hear anything about that. And, you know, trying to keep things honest about skepticism about Tucker. Will he ask questions about the Russian government and what they're doing to journalists? What is the story behind that? Did we hear CNN talk about Gonzalo Lira, the reporter who was killed in Ukrainian custody? No. Do we hear them talk about the postp background at Fox and whether he did the right thing or the wrong thing in waiting. A Syrian girl made an excellent comment about the jab position of Tucker and his former slot at Fox News, not to make this about Tucker's personality or whatever,

but this information clearly exposes double standards on the part of many of the pop media people and gets us interested in seeing what we're going to hear from Russia. Also reminds us to remind other people about the dark past, the United States influence with NATO going into Ukraine and all sorts of things like that. Right. But a Syrian girl says, if I were in Tucker's place and knew those things, I would leave to expose it. After all, who knows how many millions he already had in the bank. He wouldn't go broke because he left Fox. And she spells it F-A-U-X. And yeah. And again, regardless of the consequences or regardless of how well healed you are. And again, it's easy for me to say that because I'm my own person and I can make decisions for myself.

So I can't, you know, ascribe motivations or say you should think this way, Tucker Carlson, or that way or whatever. But I would look much more kindly on someone who knew, should have known that those Javs were bad mojo, that they were unconstitutional, they were immoral, and that much of the rhetoric we were hearing about the masks and so on, the censorship that was happening to people like me at MRCTV. I mean, literally, we had NewsGuard funded by DARPA attacking me on the weekends. I was one of those guys, right? So, you know, it's, it's a weird existence when, you know, I'm only on contract with MRC TV and it's not my full-time job, right?

But I do that. And, and I've got forces of the U S government and defense department slamming 16 ton weights on me. This is like crazy. You didn't, you'd never imagine you'd be in that situation when you were a kid, you know, it's just bizarre. It's like, what is going on?

You know? So you make other contacts with good people. And, and I would think that Tucker Carlson would take those chances going up against big pharma. And, and, and it's not just big pharma.

It's the, it's the pharmacological police state government police state it's all integrated right um and i'll tell you later on liberty conspiracy a little bit more about that british story it's about a football fan who uh she's actually uh what is it lesbian or whatever but she spoke up about the trans ideology online and they banished her from this new newcastle soccer club football matches and stuff from watching but um yeah very very interesting stuff i want to bring this up though before i go because um really graceful has an excellent video and you can find this. I retweeted this on my Twitter feed, my X feed or

whatever. And so let me make sure that I can find this for you. I think you'll find this worthwhile just to give you, again, I didn't want to play it immediately after bringing up David's criticism of Tucker Carlson and his position, but just to give you a quick outro on a couple of the things that I think are very, very valuable here from Really Graceful. And of course, she's terrific. One of my favorite interviews is between her and esoteric detective Ed that they did a couple of years ago. Here she is. She has a new little documentary that she put out, Unvaxxed in 2024. This video details the

COVID-19 journey from 15 days to slow the spread to now in February of 2024. We discuss the COVID vaccine, its consequences, the jab, the trials on children and babies, recent updates regarding the safety or lack thereof, and so on and so forth. Let me give you this. Check it out. Hey, internet friends. It's been nearly four years since two weeks to slow the spread was announced in March of 2020, when the entire world went crazy and life as we knew it completely turned upside down. From the very onset, I documented the absurdity on YouTube until mainstream social media platforms no longer allowed coverage of such events unless presented by legacy media sources.

Since then, any information regarding COVID-19 or the clot shot has been incredibly suppressed. For a time, many folks just waited. They believed patriots were in control and that ultimately there would be justice to be seen in our country for their loved ones dying alone in nursing homes, rushed onto ventilators in hospitals because of monetary incentives, having their small businesses forced to close while big box stores like Amazon, Home Depot, and Walmart were given the go-ahead to stay open. And all the while, the greatest transfer of wealth in modern history was happening. To demonstrate just how far we've fallen, I've got some data points for y'all. In the United States, overdose deaths spiked 30% between 2019 and 2020, and they rose

another 15% between 2020 and 2021, while suicides in the U.S. reached an all-time high in 2022. According to the National Association of Realtors, the April 2019 median home price for a single family home was $269,000. Meanwhile, the median home sales price in the United States is $431,000 as of the third quarter of 2023. According to 2019 data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the average spending on food at home is about $4,600 annually or about $386 per month. Now in 2024, the average family spends about $270 at the grocery store per week. Families with children spend on average of about $331 a week on groceries with a family spending over $1,000 just on groceries per month in 2024. And y'all know they get up to some funny stuff. Our government puts out reports that inflation is transitory and has

only risen like 2% in the last couple years. They think you're dumb. They're gaslighting you. They're hoping you forget everything that's transpired just in time for the next worldwide psychological operation, while this one is still ongoing. There's this big elephant in the room, and it's these rush mandatory COVID vaccines that a lot of adults and children were forced to get in order to keep their jobs, attend school, and travel to see their loved ones that they hadn't seen since before the worldwide lockdown. In this video, I want to give you an update on the consequences of COVID vaccines. I'm also going to show you some shocking clips regarding the vaccine trials on children and babies. And basically my goal is just to open

up the continued discussion on these vaccines. Because nearly everybody has a story about them, about someone who's taken them, and apparently what they call quote-unquote COVID cases are surging higher than ever. If they didn't prevent against COVID, what was their ultimate purpose? This is by no means an exhaustive video, but y'all know I'm a video clip hoarder. I'm a hoarder of clips that get memory hold. So in order to examine the present let's first see how we got here. My dad taught me from a very early age be at one with the snake. Feel it son. And I am. I've got to get the camera. I've got to be right in there. I have to get right fair smack into the action.

Here we go. Look at this. I've got to push it. I've got to push it to the limit. Danger, danger, danger. I jumped on a croc under the water. Wipe, keep, keep, keep me in the head. Scarf me in the head.

Big booty, what you got a big booty? Big, big booty, what you got a big booty? She does an excellent job going through the stats. Really good stuff from Really Graceful. And I bring that up, splitting it off a little bit, just to remind us. After we heard, I thought, very, very good words from David about Tucker not taking that time, not going full bore and, you know, David being much more overt and, and, and forceful about it, then, you know, I'd sort of step back just a little bit. Uh, but, uh, really graceful bringing up in this video and you'll see this retweeted not to just, you know, attract people to my, my Twitter feed or anything like that, but check out Really Graceful on Twitter because this is a fantastic presentation she's done, even though she has the little music bits

in there. The rest of this thing is just phenomenal. And it really brings home that people should have known. They should have known. They could have known. And some people didn't take steps to speak up. And I tried. David tried. I know many of you tried. And so many of you have been such great allies and heroes, not just for freedom, but for truth. And I think it's so important to keep that in mind. And, you know, I try to give play to people, uh, try to, uh, forgive them if they've been in positions where maybe they didn't stand up strong enough at first, you know, that sort of thing. Um, yeah, you know, people can be in those positions. And so I try to give them second chances. But if people don't show that they're sorry, if they don't express some attempt to make amends, to do something better, to make up for what they did in the past. Boy, that that is really that's that's a bleak world.

That's for sure. Listen, everybody, thank you so much for being there. Harps, thank you for being a great observer inside X. I really appreciate your kind words. And thank you to Travis for helping get the show off the ground today. Really appreciate all his help. Remember, David will be back tomorrow, 9 a.m. for The David Knight Show. You can watch me on Twitter.

It's at Guard Goldsmith. On Rumble, the Liberty Conspiracy, just look up the Liberty Conspiracy page. On Rockfin, the same thing. Love to have you there in the audience. We're just growing. We're just a little bit over a year old. And so find us there and spread the word. And I'm looking forward to being there with you.

And I really appreciate you being here with me and for David as well. David, get better. I have one final thing I want to give you before we close off. It's a little Bible quote from Blue Letter Bible for today. I think you might find this worthwhile. Trust in the Lord and do good. So thou shalt, thou, so shalt thou dwell in the land

and verily thou shalt be fed. Delight thyself also in the Lord and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Now, I would just pause there to say the desires of thine heart, I would hope start to orient towards recognizing that it's all for God. Commit thy way unto the Lord. Trust also in him, and he shall bring this to pass, and he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light and thy judgment as the noon day. So David, blessings to you and to

all the family. Thank you so much, everyone. Have a great afternoon. And I will sign off with a little something from David that he composed, of course, with a little mention of where else you can find David Knight. Have a great, great afternoon. See you at six o'clock for Liberty Conspiracy. Please spread the word about that too. Thanks, David. Thanks, Travis and the family. Take care.
