The David Knight Show - 8Aug23 SMART Cities, "Freedom Cities" are HighTech Indian Reservations for 21st Century

Episode Date: August 8, 2023

OUTLINE of today's show with TIMECODES Dallas is celebrated for creating a "Smart City" neighborhood. Whether you want to call it Agenda21, Agenda47, Agenda 2030, or "Freedom City" they are high tech implementations of the Indian Reservations of the 19th Century. Here's what they're doing in Dallas… (2:07) EU & USA open their borders, then use chaos to require legal tourists to get visas. EU will require Americans to get visas for travel, and vice versa. They're ramping up the permission-society (23:43) Shoplifter get a whooping from store employees. So the city of Stockton comes after store employees protecting themselves from shoplifter (28:59) Letters from listeners (31:51)Billionaires and the OccultTranshumanism, UFOs, poltergeist, cyborgs, AI, brain-computer interfaces, UBI (Universal Basic Income), etc — what do these billionaires who manipulate our society and elections want? (44:35) Biden's 2nd attempt at buying voters with student loan forgiveness shut down by court (54:54) Company given $700 MILLION by Trump goes into bankruptcy (1:02:35) Musk gets $280 MILLION for brain-computer interface (BCI) research. Why is he a hero to conservatives? Speech. And he says he's going to fund lawsuits against employers who fired workers over their twitter history. Hasn't got his BIC yet, but he's already in our heads (1:05:38) Trump and DOJ in a "Hegelian Two-Step" DanceIs this election a professional wrestling narrative, a Hegelian dance of death for America? Trump has his own plans, not just for SMART Cities (his so-called "Freedom Cities") on federal land, but also MORE SUBSIDIES for BigPharma, another part of his "Agenda47" (1:16:38) Do you find it suspicious that BOTH the Mayor and Police Commissioner of NYC on 9/11, who BOTH participated in the 9/11 cover-up — BOTH worked with Trump to "investigate" the 2020 election. Former Police Commissioner, Bernie Kerik, was convicted of 8 felonies and later pardoned by Trump. He refuses to give up 300 documents as part of his election "investigation". Bernie & Rudy, 9/11 cover-up twins, so maybe Jan6 WAS an "Inside Job" but not in the way Trump's fans think. (1:48:40)Electroceuticals: Modifying Human DNA with Electromagnetic Forces (EMF) Desc: It's not just what I called for years the GCI (Genetic Code Injection) mRNA vaccines. Swiss scientists brag that they can turn human parts (in their "mouse models") on and off with electrical signals — and also modify DNA with electrical signals. This has been the plan for a long time. (1:54:29) INTERVIEW Put Ya’ll Back in Chains Desc: Democrat policies have destroyed black families, communities, and work ethic — and Biden wants to do this for EVERYONE. Horace Cooper, constitutional scholar and radio/TV commentator joins to talk about his book, Put Ya’ll Back in Chains: How Joe Biden’s Policies Hurt Black Americans. Why Supreme Court struck down affirmative action and will do the same with reparations. Blacks have been vital to Democrat (and Biden) power, but they're worried this election cycle, especially with the rising challenge from black marxist Cornell West.

You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Tuesday, the 8th of August, Year of Our Lord 2023. Well, today we're going to talk about smart cities. And we're going to talk about 5G. It's amazing what our government considers to be safe for 5G. It's an amazing increase in power that's being used, electrical power that is. So we have some environmentalist alarmists as our allies in all of this. But there are real physical effects. As a matter of fact, the electroceutical industry, which is where Fauci

and Francis Collins and Monsef Slaoui were giving seminars before the lockdown. The electroceutical industry is saying we can modify, not only control your organs, but we can also control your DNA

by using electroceuticals. We'll be right back. Well, what has got me on this to cover this today is an article by Axios, a mainstream media perspective, about how Dallas is showing that it is a model for smart cities. Again, when you start talking about the technology, remember that the acronym means self-monitoring and reporting technology. And so this is all about surveillance. And this is what people said in Toronto when Google was running their model, smart city, sidewalk labs, that was sold as something that was green okay and of course

all this stuff is sold as everything is sold as green that's the big grift right now green grift that's what it is the grift agenda or you could just say the greed agenda yeah we've got all these green projects are really greed projects or grift projects. It's about the money, massive transfer of wealth and power, creating a permission society where everything you do is monitored, surveilled, and they grant you permission to do it or they don't grant you permission to do it. And so Axios thinks that Dallas is just great. This is how they start out this article.

By blitzing a troubled neighborhood with smart city technology, including AI cameras on streetlights and ubiquitous Wi-Fi. What do they mean by ubiquitous Wi-Fi? It's going to be 5G stuff, right? That is going to be the enabling technology of these smart cities. Because understand that just as we've seen in China and other places, it's going to be real-time biometric analysis of you. That means they've got to transfer a lot of data. They're going to be constantly monitoring everything that everybody does and need a lot of bandwidth for that. That's why the obsession with 5G.

And so Axios says, well, why does this matter? Smart city initiatives fell out of favor nationally after a lot of money was spent with few results. But in Dallas, they have a project called Red Cloud. And they're very happy about what is happening with that. It's in a poor neighborhood, of course. This is where these things are going to roll out. Just as they roll out their global ID, Gates goes to India and says, for the poorest people, we're going to begin with the poorest people. We'll promise them that they get food and welfare and medical care,

but they've got to take the number, the number of the government, the mark of the beast. Aadhaar is what they call it in India. And so in Dallas, what they're doing is they're pushing this smart city. And I thought it was kind of interesting, you know, when you, what was it? Was it a no Henry story that had red cloud in it, Travis? I didn't look this up.

It just made me think about it. But, you know, for some reason, was it the education of Red Cloud or something? Look that up, O. Henry. For some reason, it rings a bell. But when I look at Red Cloud, it is associated not with a poor neighborhood, but it's associated with Indians. And, of course, I've said for the longest time. The Ransom of Red Chief.

Red Chief. Okay, okay. Not quite the same. It's a couple of things off there. It doesn't ring with that, rhyme with that a little bit. Yeah, the Ransom of Red Chief. Well, this is going to be the Ransom of Red Cloud. But it is an Indian reservation system, and I've said this for the longest time.

You know, you can look at the Jewish ghettos that the Nazis put people into. But way before that, we had, or the Japanese internment camps that the U.S. did, and, you know, these prison camps. But the Indian reservations are really the best model because that was a long-term thing, and that was to control an entire demographic, an entire population. They would take their kids from them, and they literally transported them to the other side of the country to be re-educated in their culture and breaking the family, but also breaking their way of life,

locking them up in these Indian reservations, and putting them on a handout. What have we seen over 150 years or so of this stuff, or 60, I guess? We have seen the massive corruption of the government that runs those Indian reservations. The most corrupt things, the Bureau of Indian Affairs and all that stuff. I mean, just look at Russell Means and the American Indian Movement pushing back against that kind of corruption.

You know, they use as, this is a tactic that empires have always, British Empire would go in to India, for example, and you would deal with, if you were an Indian and you were living under the British Empire control, you would be dealing with Indians, and you'd have Indians all the way through the civil service until you get up at the very top, and then they got their people in there. And same thing with us. Oh, I don't see anything wrong.

Yeah, it looks... So the people like me, they're doing this. That was a common tactic of these empires. And, of course, that was what we did with the Indian reservations. Most of the people who were running it were corrupt American Indians betraying their own people, but also reporting to the federal government with all of that. And so this is all a grift.

It's all about the Permission Society. And what do they have there? Well, they have new led street lights equipped with ai enabled overhead cameras so they're doing real-time surveillance here that axios doesn't tell you this is the chinese model what we've seen and uh you know criticized in china you know artificial intelligence to you know combine everything that they know about you, give you demerits or whatever. A total of 52 devices were added in this one neighborhood, including environmental models, monitors to gauge air quality. What's that about? That's going to bring it down to the level of, oh, we've got somebody out there who's not using an electric

vehicle. Call the police. Because one of the other things that they're putting on these are shot cameras, okay? We heard a rifle shot, and we can pinpoint it because we can triangulate it with these various sensors on these different poles. So we know exactly where there's a go get them, you know? And we've got some emissions out here. Maybe somebody is barbecuing illegally in their backyard. That's not a joke. That's a biden administration policy we got to shut down back in 10 years ago

when the epa in north carolina research triangle park where i used to work but as i was leaving to go to austin uh it was um discover steve mall, who has junk science, discovered that they were running these tests to try to ramp up the prohibitions against fine particulate matter. Now, initially, that was about diesel engines, but that was not what they had in mind altogether. Prior to that, and I knew people who worked for the EPA and researched Triangle Park. As a matter of fact, one person, he was a real libertarian even though he worked for the EPA, and it really made him more of a libertarian. One of the guys that was, he was in our church, and he had been telling me before that the EPA was ramping up all kinds of stuff. They wanted to ban resale of children's clothing and things like that because they said, well, there might

be lead in the zippers or something, you know, crazy stuff like that, crazy overreach. And he thought it was crazy. He said, you got to talk about this. Well, he wasn't the one who talked about the fine particulate matter stuff. But the real target in that fine particulate matter had already started before that. It really wasn't diesel engines even. It was really about shutting down people's fireplaces.

And I remember the topic came up because we had, when I talked to him about the fireplace that we were putting in, the house that we built, it had a ceramic insert and it had masonry brick around it. But you could really get that thing hot. And it had this baffling system that went up, you know, the smoke would go up and around and around and around and the music would come out here, you know, come out of the top. But it burned really clean. And he was talking about the fact, yeah, we got a lot of, some of the EPA guys, that was the cleanest model that they found. And I said, well, I don't really care about that that but it's very efficient in terms of heat as a matter

of fact we stoked that thing so hot that um we melted the iron grate on it karen was sitting there one night it was cold and she had on slippers with rubber soles they should put them up on the uh on the the uh ledge of the the fireplace there and um kid said mom your shoes are smoking i was like whoa just before they ignited she got them off of there uh it was uh there was no wood anywhere around uh that fireplace but um they wanted to shut that down and they wanted to shut down barbecues they wanted to shut down resale of clothing because you know if it's old we haven't checked it and authorized it it could possibly have lead in it you know and it's like so you're worried about this you're worried about what kids uh oh i know

the other thing was uh also um was it motorcycles or something like that? Tailpipes, you know, so you think people are going to be looking at the tailpipes of their motorcycles and getting lead? It's just crazy stuff. Always looking for something to expand their reach into our lives. And now they've got just the president to do it and Biden. And so they're going to have monitors for air quality. And that will be for sure. But people who have fireplaces, people who have barbecues and things like that, it may also be even for cars. They'll be monitoring to see if anybody's got a gun. They'll be monitoring every activity that you do and comparing it and recording it in their database. But Axios thinks this is great. And Dallas, again, the headline,

in Dallas, a model smart city project bears fruit. Yeah, fruit. Fruit of a poison tree. So the neighborhood has a reputation for drug and crime problems, and so they're going to turn it into a little police state there. But understand, this is not simply a Biden problem. This is also a Trump problem. You go back and you look at his Freedom Cities as part of his, what he calls his Agenda 47. That's right, he actually calls his Agenda 47. That's right.

He actually calls it Agenda 47. I guess Agenda 2030 was already taken, and so was Agenda 21, right? So we'll call it Agenda 47. We'll relabel it, and they'll never figure out what this is. We'll call the smart cities Freedom Cities. Freedom Cities, yeah. And he's going to put them on public land. Let me see.

Wasn't I just talking about Indian reservations, you know, where you go on public land and you lock people down and you take away their ability to earn a living? I mean, these people on the Indian reservations, they even came after them for growing food and things like that. Always, you know, no, you can't have a business. No, you can't grow food. You can't do anything. That's what these smart cities are going to, that's what these freedom cities from Trump.

Do you really want to live in a surveillance grid in a place like Washington, D.C.? Because that's what we're talking about, right? Under the Constitution, the District of Columbia is really the only legitimate place where the federal government is to own land. That was what the whole Bundy Ranch thing was about. Clive and Bundy may have been, well, he's just this farmer. He doesn't know anything. No, he knew the Constitution, and he knew exactly what was going on,

and he was spot on about the fundamental aspect of it. It was hitting him, and so they portrayed him as just a deadbeat rancher who wasn't paying his fees to the BLM. It wasn't about that at all. He was a principled man who understood the Constitution, and he understood what the agenda was here. And I think Trump does too, quite frankly. He's not a principled man though.

But he understands the agenda. So the Trump Agenda 47, going to put on federal lands, smart cities, and call them freedom cities. Don't call them Indian reservations because it won't be just for Indians. It'll be for everybody. Equal opportunity. Everybody gets to live as a slave. And of course, he's also got a competition for people to design different aspects of it. Isn't that nice? We get to comment on it. We get to actually play a part in the design of our prison. You know, you don't usually hear that.

You know, most prisoners aren't given a chance. So tell us, how would you like to design your prison? It's the season to shop new styles, and definitely a holiday trip and what if each time you made a purchase you got a little something back with Rakuten you can earn cash back on just about anything you buy from over 750 stores so if you're looking to buy a new phone clothes skincare or a getaway well you can get cash back. So treat yourself, family, and friends and book that holiday trip now. Start getting cash back today by joining Rakuten. It's free and easy to use and you get cash back deposited into your PayPal account or sent to you as a check. It's the smartest way to shop, plain and simple. Start your shopping at Rakuten.ca and get the Rakuten app. That's R-A-K-U-T-E-N dot C-A.

And if you think, if you go back and you look at the six-foot distancing rule, right? Where did that come from? Well, a couple of years before that happened, it was already reported in the New Mexico newspaper about a teenager who was 15 years old as part of a science project, Laura glass. She proposed the 16 foot. That's the, uh, the little, um, you know, Simon says rule that we were all running around was created by a 15 year old student. So yeah, we outsource this kind of stuff to people.

So Trump's got his Agenda 47. Instead of Agenda 21, I'm going to ramp it up. The new cameras have caught crimes in progress already and discouraged a lot of illicit activities. Well, how many different things are they going to list as illicit? They keep expanding it, of course. Harvey Silvergate, a felony a day. I'm sure that if you got constant monitoring, you can hit people with felonies all the time. I just saw what you did there. You release a balloon or something, that's a felony if you

do it on a beach, right? Seriously, it really is. It's just like having constant surveillance of you while you're driving a car. Imagine how many infractions. Oh, I think you sped up too fast or you slowed down too fast or you didn't stay still long enough at a stop sign or you were two miles per hour over the speed limit. On and on and on. I think you pulled too many Gs on that turn.

You took that too fast. Yeah, just have a ticker tape, you know, coming out of your dashboard with all the tickets that you're going to get when you drive. That'd be what it'd be like when I drive. Um, anyway, uh, so, uh, people have fixed up boarded houses. Isn't that great? And there's not as many junk vehicles. Uh you know i don't know the um the past i've seen these cities come after people in poor neighborhoods uh it was a situation in tampa they would go around and we knew some of the people that were there because um my dad had sold them mortgage homeowners who had a home and was in a poor section of town,

but they were homeowners. They weren't renting or anything. And the mayor there at the time, Sandy Friedman, people started calling her Sandlot Friedman because she was going around adding charges to people. For these people, for example, they contacted us since we were the mortgage holder. My dad was, anyway. And said, they've got these fines against us. Said that we've got to repaint our house. We can't afford to repaint the house. There's just a couple of chips over it.

It wasn't in bad shape at all. But you had a city inspector come by and said, you know, repaint your house by such and such a date or we're going to start accruing fines on it. And then once they would do that enough, they would just confiscate the entire house. And so my dad had passed away, and my sister was working with it. She went down, and they had, to this little kangaroo court, there's a bureaucratic hearing type of thing.

You know, it isn't a real court. They call it court. But, you know, these people create these rules, you know, create the fines, assess them, and you have to prove that you're innocent. And so there was an association of people that were trying to push back against this. And they had somebody who was there as an advisor to people. And if she went into the courtroom, there's a little lady who stood up, uh, you know, and they were coming after her. They had amassed thousands of dollars of fines and they were accruing at hundreds of dollars a day. And they're going to take her small home. And, um, so, uh, the, the charge against her was that she had trash that she had not removed.

And so she said, yeah, I called the city to move this, and they wouldn't move it. Somebody had come along and dumped a railroad tie on her property, and it was too heavy for her to move. So she called the city and asked them to remove it. Instead of removing it, they came out and looked at it. That's too heavy for us. So they issued her a fine on a daily basis. And so the judge says, well, is that thing on your property or not? And the guy who was the advocate for them stood up and said,

don't answer that, don't answer that. They're going to take your home. And that's the kind of games they were doing. Now what Sandy Friedman would do, Sandlot Friedman, they called her because she would go around and she would trump up these charges. They're talking about Trump, trump up these charges on people. They got big enough. They would steal the property. They would, you know, take the house. Then they would knock the houses down. And they did that over and over again until there's just a few houses left. And then they would use eminent domain and turn over the land to some real estate developers who wanted to put up a skyscraper. And that's a large reason as to why I don't recognize the

skyline of Tampa anymore when I go there. They were very successful doing that. They kicked people out. They put them in public housing, people who were buying their house, who owned their house. And so, you know, we could do the same type of thing here. They could be surveilling everything that you do. Isn't that wonderful? Oh, got a junk car?

Well, better get that out or I'm going to take your house. You know, they have in Germany now, they're just, talk about civil asset forfeiture. In Germany, if you drive across the border and you have a car with a Russian license plate or something, they'll just take your car. They've been stealing cars left and right, the people. It doesn't matter if you're trying to escape from Russia or something like that. They'll just steal your car. A Russian license plate, that's ours.

Take it. Are we any different, really? My dog has sniffed some cocaine, allegedly, in your car, so I'm going to take your car. Also, on your money, you got some money there? The dog says that's drug money, so we're going to take that as well. We're no different. These different governments are acting the same way. In years past, says Axios,

backlash against smart city projects hobbled efforts in various cities, including Toronto and New York. And of course, Toronto was where the Sidewalk Labs was. They got all these people who were climate fanatics, said, yeah, I want to be a part of this. And then they turned against the Google project and said, this isn't green. This is just about recording and monitoring everything we do, everywhere. That trash that we put out, everything. It's recording everything that we do. And so they shut it down. And even Axios says, it hobbled efforts in various cities,

including Toronto and New York, as privacy and Big Brother concerns emerged. Well, what have they done here to assuage those concerns? Well, absolutely nothing. Then they immediately go on to say some cities have banned specific technologies such as facial recognition software. Oh, well, there you go. Some cities, not Dallas though, right? Their model city.

Amid doubts over its accuracy or concerns over cities stealthily collecting such data on their citizens through video surveillance, said the co-director of the Penn Institute for Urban Research. So far in Dallas, these changes, however, are seen as improvements and not intrusions. You see? It's great. We got facial recognition and all of a sudden it's great. Love it. Also, they said more stuff is coming in the red cloud area.

They're also adding cameras to read license plates. And again, as I pointed out, they're going to do it first in the poor neighborhoods, just like they do the universal basic income and the ID, and you can see all that stuff in WorldCoin. That's their agenda. As a matter of fact, Mary Ellen Moore of Free Mind Films sent this to me. She said, you probably heard about this. I heard about it. Entry into Europe is not guaranteed.

They have added a mountain of information to collect on us, and they're going to make americans get visas to go in i don't remember if i talked about that or not i might have seen that while we're gone to austin for my daughter's wedding i don't remember but let's talk about that because even if i mentioned it before it bears repeating to this and of course since that was announced the u.s is reciprocating. Not because they're angry. They're on the same team, folks.

This is about creating a permissioned society. You know, going back and talking, it was an article that was done by Meharry, who works for shift goal. He also works for the 10th amendment center and I, Michael, my Harry, I've, uh, interviewed him on the 10th amendment center aspects of, of things. Uh, very knowledgeable guy. I enjoy, uh, Michael, my Harry anyway. Um, he gave an example of what it was like in the 1920s.

He said, uh, if you were in London, in London, you could go down with gold and you could buy a nice suit. You could buy a ticket to Europe. You could go to Europe and you could travel in Europe using gold. People would accept it and you could travel around using it. You could spend it on whatever you needed to in your vacation and come back. You didn't have to go through money changers. You didn't have to have passport permissions and all this other kind of stuff. And that was the thing that really hit with me more than even the gold.

It's the season to shop new styles, electronics, and definitely a holiday trip. And what if each time you made a purchase, you got a little something back? With Rakuten, you can earn cash back on just about anything you buy from over 750 stores. So if you're looking to buy a new phone, clothes, skincare, or a getaway, well, you can get cash back. So treat yourself, family, and friends, and book that holiday trip now. Start getting cash back today by joining Rakuten. It's free and easy to use, and you get cash back deposited into your PayPal account or sent to you as a check. It's the smartest way to shop, plain and simple.

Start your shopping at Rakuten.ca and get the Rakuten app. That's R-A-K-U-T-E-N dot C-A. Was the passport stuff. My first exposure to Europe was going with a music group. And we was in high school or actually between high school and college. And, you know, what struck me about Europe was just how tiny it was in terms of just go a few miles. And all of a sudden you're in a different country, completely different culture, you know, different architecture, different dress, different music, different food, all the rest, different language, of course, and different

money. And you had to show your passport as you're going through all this place, you know, so keep it there all the time with you. Now they have created the Shenzhen zone, 27 countries, where they say it's about freedom and security, except that now, if you're an American, you're going to have to get permission to get into that zone. If you're coming in legally, of course. If you want to just grab a boat and float in there, no problem at all. Just like it is here. They use the open border situation as justification to crack down on people who are legal. As a matter of fact, that's a justification for this. Well, we've got a lot of terrorism that's happening. as justification to crack down on people who are legal, right?

As a matter of fact, that's a justification for this. Well, we've got a lot of terrorism that's happening. Yeah, I noticed. I noticed your city is getting burned down by some Algerian immigrants who were brought in. I think it was Algerian. And Paris and France, a lot of cities set on fire. And so, you know, because we've got these terrorist activities, we've got to have passports,

but they're not going to use that for the people who are floating in. They're not going to get visas and passports. They just come. And it's the same type of thing we're seeing here. Oh, well, we've got open borders and have some economic impact for us. Yeah, because we have used the welfare state as a big magnet. And so therefore, we should mandate E-Verify to make sure that Americans get our permission before they get a job. What?

Same type of thing. Always there. So this visa program, they call it the ETIAS. It's going to go into effect in 2024. We have done the same thing in reply. Again, because a big part of this global agenda is to restrict movement. And so again, going back to the 1920s, you didn't need a passport to go different places. And now you got to have it all the time.

Plus now a visa, more stuff all the time. And then when you fly, you have the TSA doing facial scans of you as well. I tell you, it's a slow-moving, you know, a noose is being put around our neck. And it's been there for a while. Do you feel it tightening? Do you realize that at some point they're going to come along and they're going to kick the box that we're standing on out from underneath us? That's the metaphor for this thing. They put the noose around our neck, they're tightening the noose, and then they're going to kick the box out from under our feet. We will hang together or we will hang separately, as Franklin said. So the borders

are wide open, but you're going to have to have a visa if you're an American wanting to come in for a visit. But, you know, hey, if you want to come in and burn down France, just come on in. You know, it's fine. No problem. A good example of this is, and I didn't show this. I'm not going to show it again because the language is on. I should have just brought it in as a silent thing,

but we pretty much have a radio program here, so it's probably better if I describe it. It's a clip that's about two or three minutes long. I saw it over the weekend. And this guy comes in, and he's got a big, big trash can. It's on wheels. It's at least 50 gallons. And he's just going along and pulling stuff off of the shelves and wrecking the store and putting it into his trash can. It's on wheels. It's at least 50 gallons. And he's just going along and pulling stuff off of the shelves and wrecking the store

and putting it into his trash can, just stealing it. In California, of course. Stockton, California. Stockton, California was the first urban, first city to go bankrupt, by the way. And then also, coincidentally, the first one to say, we're going to give residents universal basic income. Yeah, because it's a bankrupt idea. And Stockton has also bought into this idea

that we're not going to come after anybody who steals stuff from people. And what I did not realize from this video was that this guy, this is his third or fourth trip. He had visited the store three times that night in question. So I think this was his third trip. And the guy who filmed this was doing running commentary. Now, the guy who filmed it was a black guy and he's telling the store they had him as store owners but i think i don't know if they were the owners or if they're the

managers they were Sikhs from India and um uh so you know he says leave him alone you know call the cops but don't touch him and all this kind of stuff and you know be careful all this and uh i guess they'd had it and so after he'd been doing this for quite some time this other guy's recording touch him and all this kind of stuff. And, you know, be careful. All this. And, uh, I guess they'd had it. And so after he'd been doing this for quite some time, this other guy's recording it. Um, one of them grabs him and throws him on the floor.

And the other one comes with a two by four and starts beating him while the other one's kind of holding him down. And the guy who's running the commentary sounds like Samuel L. Jackson. And he's like, Oh, he's beating your mind now and it's like it was uh that part of it was actually pretty funny but it's pretty strong language so I wouldn't play it but now what is the response of the Stockton police well they're going to be

investigating these guys for what they did to the shoplifter who's come back for the third time with a big 50 gallon uh he's going to steal everything in the store. What is going on with this? This is deliberate, of course. And so these men, whether they are going to, if they own the store, they're losing everything. Even if they're employees, they're going to lose their job because that store is going to be gone.

This is the deliberate takedown of our society. And what is the government focused on? Smart cities to monitor us. It's not that they want the smart cities and the monitoring and all the rest of the stuff to stop this kind of thing that happened in this convenience store. No, that'll be fine with them. That's going to be for the rest of the stuff to stop this kind of thing that happened in this convenience store. No, that'll be fine with them.

Their commons project to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary, but each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.

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

TheDavidKnightShow.com Well, as I was talking about smart cities, in the third hour, we have an interview with Horace Cooper, who's written a book.

The title is Put Y'all Back in Chains. How Joe Biden's policies hurties Hurt Black Americans, how they mimic the Jim Crow era policies and so forth, the unemployment that is being set up for that. So, yeah, this is a big deal, and we need to understand what is happening to us right here now. I know that for people like Mike Pence, that's not his concern. Remember the Tucker Carlson interview? You know, well, what about the declining? You're all focused on Ukraine and the war with Russia and all the rest of the stuff. What about what is happening to Americans? You know, the economic decline that's

happening here, just at the very least. I mean, we talk about the moral decline, but of course, neither the moral decline is a concern to Mike Pence, the quote-unquote evangelist. Evangelical, he's not an evangelist, the evangelical candidate. The moral decline is not a concern to him. And the economic decline is not a concern to him. He said, that's not my concern. I'm concerned with Ukraine. Okay. okay well we got your number uh thanks for letting us know by the way let me uh just thank some of the people whose um uh checks we have recently gotten uh just beginning of this week uh donald and mary h uh hd marty k james l rodney d rob 42 mike and K, James L, Rodney D, Rob 42, Mike and Tina G, Gene M, Ben and Cindy B, Mary N, and Jack D.

You can leave tips. And I want to say thank you to Mr. Goldfold

for the tip. Appreciate that. On Rockfin, he says, EPA and AQMD ignore the fine particulate matter generated from leaf blowers. Why? Well, the protected class operates those blowers. Beverly Hills

banned leaf blowers years ago. LA City Landscapes almost rioted at City Hall years ago when a ban was proposed. Protected class. Yeah. And my son wrote, Travis wrote, instead of saying mess around and you're going to find out. They should now say seek and you shall find. Going to get your behind whooped. Somebody made a comment. It's a good thing they didn't have their swords with them, because it's a big part of their religion.

They had big fights. I don't know if it was an intramural fight, internecine fight between different Sikh denominations or if they were fighting Hindus or something in India. But they've had some real melees with the swords and things like that. So yeah, these guys only had a two by four. He should be grateful for that. But I want to read a couple of letters here that people sent in the mail. This is from Mary N. She said, thank you for your emphasis on homeschooling. And thank you for having Dr. Duke Pesta from Freedom Project Academy on your show this spring. And she said, our children's and our nation's future rest in homeschooling.

That's absolutely right. We will either have children who value what America was set up, the ideas of liberty, or they will cower in fear and demand safety from the government if they don't understand what this is set up. And of course, now the government schools are telling kids that everything about America is evil. We have to overthrow the foundation. And again, that goes back to what has happened out of the institutions, out of Harvard, for example. I've talked about Pete Boudier.

Now, his father spent his entire career at Notre Dame focusing on Antonio Gramercy, who was not only the founder of the Italian Communist Party, but he was also really the founder of the idea of marching through the institutions for the Marxists to take over. And guess what? That's been the blueprint. That's been the plan. And then Boudigie's father sent him to Harvard to study under Sakck Van Berkovich, whose entire career was set up to place the blame on every failing in America, to place the blame on the pilgrims who came here for religious liberty. Oh, it's these radical Christians, and they're the problem. You know, they're the reason that

all this stuff is happening with everything. And, um, you know, that, that's, that's, you know, the background of a Pete Boudier. Very important to understand. He's a Marxist. He uses, uh, the gay, uh, virtue signaling as his identity politics. Uh, that's his, um, that's his little scam to get people to vote for him, but he's a hardcore Marxist. Hardcore, as many of them are. As a matter of fact, you have the woman who is running

the American Library Association. People say, you know, she's a lesbian Marxist, and she owned it. He said, yeah, I am a lesbian Marxist. He's not ashamed of it at all. That's why I talk about this. When you look at the schools, there's a lot of LGBT at all that's why i talk about this you know when you look at the schools like there's a lot of lgbt who are not marxists uh and there's a lot of marxists who are not lgbt however if you look at the institutions you will find a convergence a common core as part of that it's always been there to one degree or the other. It's just become

extremely strong. Even when I was in college 50 years ago, we had the Black Student Union and the Gay Coalition, and they were hardcore Marxists and also thieves, indicted for embezzling money out of the student fees and that type of thing. But you have this identity politics stuff, and whether it is based on race or whether it is based on their sexual preferences of what they want to do. And it is also Marxist, because again, Marxists are kleptocrats, they're thieves.

And they want to accrue all power to themselves. I want to also read this. This is Bronnie James. This is Rob 42. It said, Bronnie James is 18 years old and has heart problems now, so please keep him in your prayers. And it is just... So, like, the news article I read yesterday

about what is happening in Australia and the fact that these people, these senators, Hector, the Pfizer and Moderna executives, and say our young people are dying from these mRNA vaccines. And yet at the same time they're doing that, they just got more approval for pharmaceutical companies to do whatever they want in Australia.

See, in many regards, the people there have had it. It was incredibly horrible what was done to people with the lockdown and the rest of this stuff. And then they couldn't produce the number of cases that they wanted, you know, to alarm people. And then they started the vaccines and people started dying. So they get what's happening there. And you've got some, uh, elected officials who've tapped into that.

But at the same time, the government's giving the green light to the pharmaceutical companies, basically do whatever they want to do. Very similar to what happens here. We have our show trials and nothing ever changes, does it? This is also, I'll read one more letter here. This is from Jean M. And she said, just a note to thank you for your daily three-hour show. She says some kind things, and she said,

I like how you curated your aggregation of the news as for the Christian, pro-life, libertarian, federalist perspectives. I really like that. Maybe we should change the description of the podcast to that. Yeah, news for the Christian pro-life libertarian federalist perspective. I like that a lot. I like that characterization. Thank you, Gene. I might go back and change things.

She says, I must repeat that without your show, I would not have understood what happened in March 2020. Now I'm a grandmother of two adorable children. Two of them, let's see, most two and a half years. It says, my daughter who was homeschooled is realizing that she has to homeschool her kids too. Her husband, unfortunately, is a product of public schools and may be opposed to it. Well, there's always hope. You know, I was a product of public schools.

So was my wife. My wife was a school teacher. One of the reasons why I homeschooled our kids was because of those three uh, I was a product of public school. So was my wife. My wife was a school teacher. And one of the reasons why we homeschool our kids was because of those three things I should say. Um, but, um, the, uh, the other thing is what is difficult is to get people to understand the public schools today are not the public schools that you went to. Even if you're very young still, you know, you could be in your twenties and you have no idea what the public schools are like today.

As a matter of fact, that it's changing much more rapidly than it did when Karen and I were younger. When she started teaching, it had already radically changed from the time here she is. She's like, you know, 21 or something like that. And, uh, like, wow, look at what happened to the schools. It's like, you would just do it like four years ago. And, um, you know, so it, it changes that rapidly, but that change is accelerated even now. Uh, but Jean says I'm in a flat in San Francisco. Uh, I live with my husband, Mike, a retired financial advisor, and my mom, who's 96.

Fortunately, our neighborhood is a suburb of the city, so it's not as crime-ridden. We're a block and a half from the Golden Gate Park. My dad was born in our building. I imagine that's really a, yeah, it's got to be frustrating to see what's happened to your city. After my mom passes away, we'll look at the options of where to live. But anyway, thank you very much, Jean. I appreciate that, the encouragement, as well as the support. Let's talk about what is happening. Yesterday, I mentioned the fact we had this Robert Bigelow guy who was a billionaire, had given the most money to DeSantis, gave him $10 million. The number two billionaire who gave him money gave him $2 million.

That was five times the amount that the number two guy did. And he's holding press conferences saying, I'm not going to give any more money because I don't like what he's doing about abortion. It's just too harsh. I think Trump's right. It's just too harsh to say that we're going to protect kids at that age. Now, we should have open season on babies until they're 16 weeks or whatever it is that Mike Pence and Trump and all the rest of the Republicans want to have.

Or, you know, Democrats open season until they're born or even after in California. And so, you know, they have the, sometime around the time of birth, you can still kill the kids, you know, maybe before, maybe after, who knows. Anyway, I said, why do we care about this guy, Robert Bigelow, so much? And why is he doing these press conferences? And what is up with this guy? And somebody said, well, you know, he was associated with Skinwalker Ranch. Skinwalker Ranch.

Let me just tell you about Skinwalker Ranch a little bit. This is an article going back to January of 2021. And they referred to Robert Bigelow as the Las Vegas space entrepreneur. They're not talking about real estate. He's not that kind of space. Now, this is a guy who ran casinos and he's also got a space program as i said no self-respecting billionaire today would be without casinos and a space program trump for example right space force and his casinos difference is that trump

went bankrupt running casinos i mean who thinks that he can run a country if he went bankrupt running casinos? But this Bigelow guy, back in January of 2021, he created a new project. He called it the Bigelow Institute for Consciousness Studies. And he hopes to stimulate new research into the survival of human consciousness beyond death. Well, here's the thing, Bigelow. I told Karen last night, I said, Bigelow, Bigelow, that rings a bell. Oh, Carousel, Billy Bigelow, Carousel. If you remember the Rogers and Hammerstein musical.

I got all these musicals from the 50s and early 60s stuck in my head, you know, because I was in pit bands and, you know we were doing them all the time and um and some really good music in them uh but yeah anyway um remember it's the guy who uh dies and he's got the little kid and he's not going to be around and all this kind of stuff maybe that kid was robert bigelow i don't know but you know it was about uh the a little bit about the afterlife, but certainly not a biblical view of it. As a matter of fact, if it continues down this path, Robert Bigelow is really going to regret the fact that consciousness persists after death.

Now, as C.S. Lewis said, we talk about people being mere mortals. He says, there is no such thing as mere mortals, to paraphrase what he had to say. He said, when you see people walking down the street, understand that each and every one of them are going to go in one of two directions. Either this person is going to become this tortured, twisted, hideous thing that you couldn't even bear to look at in its punishment, or they're going to be transformed into something that's so spectacular you would be tempted to bow down and worship it if you were to see it today. There are no such things as mere mortals, and you can take that to the bank.

I believe that. I've built my life on that. So Robert Bigelow is basing his life on the Institute for Consciousness Studies. He's searching, searching space, searching to see if money can fulfill him. I wonder what he wanted to get from DeSantis, giving him $10 million.

Did he want him to open up a UFO program or something like that? What was that really about? And isn't it interesting, all the connections between these casino owners and the GOP, you know, the biggest donor to the GOP for a long time was Sheldon Adelson, who's died.

His widow's now in Israel. That's why DeSantis went there to get money. But casino owner. And, you know, Bigelow, Trump again, you know, former casino owner. What's the deal with that? But, you know, Bigelow doesn't like DeSantis because he's too harsh about protecting life, and he wants to protect parents, and he wants to protect, you know, parental rights,

and he wants to stop the mutilation of minors this guy at skinwalker ranch is not about that he doesn't like that when are we going to stop letting people like robert bigelow influence our elections you want to talk about corrupt elections you know forget about dominion for right now okay i don't like electronic voting, and I always opposed it. Way before this election, I opposed it. I also don't like mail-in ballots and all the corruption that came under Trump. There's a lot of different ways, even with paper ballots, that you can corrupt an election. But, of course, look at what the political parties do in terms of controlling access to the ballot,

in terms of controlling access to the debates. They get to pick who the candidates are. That's truly amazing. And so do these billionaires get to pick the candidates and get to pick the policies. As H.L. Meakin said, you know, it's an advance, an election is an advance auction of stolen goods. The businessman, Bigelow, has likely spent money investigating the UFO mystery, more money investigating UFOs than any other person in history. So again, maybe that's why he was putting so much money on DeSantis. He wants to be a big influencer with whoever's going to win so that he can get them to go down this UFO rabbit hole.

Tens of millions of dollars he spent over 30 years. He not only gave financial support to individual researchers, but he also established his own think tank, the National Institute for Discovery Science. During the era of his think tank, Bigelow learned about a paranormal hot spot in northeastern utah a ranch where ufos animal mutilations crypto creatures we're not talking about people but uh wildlife that that trades in um crypto coins we're talking about cryptozoology,

you know, things like the Loch Ness Monster and stuff like that. Poltergeist activity. They're back. And other bizarre phenomena that have been reported with alarming frequency dating back many years.

And this guy is really, really, really searching. He's looking everywhere. But he would never consider the Bible. Right? Anywhere but that. Bigelow bought the property. He installed his own scientific team to investigate various weird incidents.

The property is now known far and wide as the Skinwalker Ranch. Bigelow sold the Skywalker Ranch in 2016, and then he was contacted by a scientist employed by the Defense Intelligence Agency. Oh, wait, the Defense Intelligence Agency. The spooks. Same people are selling us this UFO stuff now, right? Yeah, let's figure out how we can sell this narrative to people. The conversations between the two men eventually led to the creation of a special

secretive research project funded by the pentagon well you know um when you look at this one person said whichever direction they go with this stuff they're going to have a lot of explaining to do because they've got to tell us why uh if, if they come out and say, yeah, there's UFOs. Um, why have you been lying about that for decades? And, uh, then conversely, you know, if they go the other direction, uh, why are you lying about it recently? It's all this stuff coming from, uh, it's going to be interesting to see how this develops. Uh, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.

On a comment from Mr. Goldfold, thank you, and a tip as well. Thank you for the tip. He says, did you say Marxist? He said, this is Karen Bass, the newly elected mayor of L.A. Karen Bass went to work in Castro's Cuba in 1973. Bass, who's now a potential Biden VP pick. Are they trying to upgrade the IQ? No.

Lala isn't doing it for him. She traveled to Cuba with the Venceramos Brigade, if I'm pronouncing that right. She said, I didn't have any illusions that the people of Cuba had the same freedom as I did, she said. And he says, unreal, get out of blue hive. Well, I've seen that the Marxist immigrant mayor of, not mayor, but she's the judge, which is the biggest, the highest elected official in the county, in Houston. Lena Hildalgo.

Oh, she was a real authoritarian tyrant during the lockdown, the pandemic of lockdowns. It wasn't a pandemic of COVID. It was a pandemic of authority, the psychological pandemic. She was a big pusher in all that stuff. She's just taking a leave. She says she's very depressed. She's got to deal with depression. You know, I understand. I've seen Jabsinda Arden in New Zealand. She

seemed to be very depressed and unhappy after she lost her newly found powers. You have that ring of power. Somebody takes it off of your finger. You know, it used to be somebody, but now you just can't handle that anymore. I get it. Yeah, you definitely need to get out of these blue areas. Let's take a look at some of the bipartisan corruption that we see. The looting of society under pretended authority. And a good example of this is a student loan cancellation that Biden has tried yet again. He's taken two hits of this and he just got shut down yesterday in terms of his second hit. He had a couple of conservative

groups filed a lawsuit pushing back against him in Michigan. He started out wanting to forgive student loans of about $400 billion is what they estimated the program would be. Again, it's an entitlement program. So who knows how many people are really going to fit for this? And that got slammed down. And so immediately after that got slammed down, he goes, I got another way that we can do this. And, uh, it was for about 10% of that.

So the first one was for 400 billion. And the second one for was for 39 billion. I know 39 billion sounds like a very small number now with the kind of numbers that we're throwing around, you know, trillion here and a trillion there. Who cares about any billions, right? But it's still pretty significant. It really is. It still is an astronomical amount. It's just that, you know, when you look at, uh, a thousand times that, you know, a thousand billions is a trillion. When you start looking at that, it makes it look small by comparison. Uh, so the original plan, he presumed to be able to do this because of the

pandemic emergency. And of course there was a problem with that. He had lost his emergency authorization. They'd gotten rid of that thing that Trump had put in. So there was a problem with that, but he was still trying to piggyback on top of that, saying, well, because we locked people down, we need to give them a free pass on their student loan things. So we're going to count, because we did the lockdown, we're going to count the payments that weren't made payments.

We're going to count them as paid and so forth and so on to get these people out of this loan. And the other way you could look at it is that he's out there trying to buy votes. Yeah, an advanced auction of stolen goods. Okay, this is just 10% of what I want to give you guys. You already saw before, I want to give you $400 billion of relief, and we'll make this much broader. But I'm going to do 10% now, show you that I'm acting in good faith. And you vote for me, you'll get the other 90% of the debt forgiveness. Again, this is

Democrats. They raise taxes, they ban things, and they hand out money to their friends. And that's why when they said the Inflation Reduction Act, they said, well, you know, inflation is getting out of hand because we've given out so much money to our friends, so let's tax our enemies. That's what that was really about. The original plan assumed, didn't give the president, but it assumed that he had the power to revise

the student loan program during national emergencies, hotly contested by Republicans and was struck down by the Supreme Court last month. And the basis on which they struck it down was they said, well, you can't unilaterally act this way with that much money. With that much money. You don't have the authority to forgive that much debt without the approval of Congress. Oh, okay. Well, I'll do 10% of that.

And I'll come up with, they said, so the new plan was based on a different principle. It was based on a different prevarication. Not a principle, but a prevarication. Though it had similar goals, it would accurately count the number of years that borrowers had been enrolled in this program, and they didn't get the debt forgiveness that they were entitled to as the payments that should have been moved them for became debt-free, were not accounted for. Well, that might be because they didn't make those payments, right? If they made payments and they

weren't accounted for, then you'd have the same type of recourse against them, all these people who put deposits into Wells Fargo, and Wells Fargo didn't credit them for that. I mean, that's a big scandal, but of course it's Wells Fargo. We've seen that type of thing from them before. But the people who sued said accurately, no authority allows the department to count non-payments as payments. But this is all very similar really to what Trump did with the excuse of the emergency. Look at what the CDC did. The CDC under Trump usurped authority over contracts. And again, these student loans are a contract. You've signed up for this thing. I've always told people don't sign up for that.

Don't go into debt to get a basket weaving degree. Even today, if you look at it, it's something that is going to get you a job, even a good paying job. The tuition is so high. It may not be worth it from that standpoint. But the CDC, again, blocked foreclosures, blocked evictions. They didn't have the authority to do that. They did it under Trump. They extended it under Trump, and then they extended it multiple times under Biden and so forth. And the Supreme Court said, you can't do that. Okay, don't worry. We're going to shut it down. And so then Brett Kavanaugh

said, oh, well, they said they're going to shut it down. So let's let them continue to do it, and we'll let them shut it down. We won't shut it down. Then they didn't do it. And so then the Supreme Court came back and shut it down. But this is just the Marxists who are overriding contracts and the rule of law in order to curry favor with a mob. That's all this is. And that's all it was a mob. That's all this is. And that's all it was under Trump.

That's all it was under Biden. And this is just a Marxist motivation. And so yesterday, federal court blocked this new scheme of $39 billion for student borrowers who attended colleges that closed suddenly or whatever. But again, they came up with some different prevarications, but they don't have a right to get rid of these loans. As you look at the big trucking company that just went out of business, Yellow, this has been, and I've talked about this before,

it's been pending in bankruptcy for quite some time. They blame it on labor issues. I'm not going to get into the details of this. I haven't decided really what is going on, but there are some interesting things that happened about this. They got over $700 million in debt relief from President Trump, you know, the bailout stuff during the 2020 years. And the questions are, why would the company that got three quarters of a billion dollars three years ago, and they haven't paid any of it back, as of the end of March, their outstanding debt overall was one and a half billion dollars. Half of that was given to them three years ago by Trump, including about $730 million that it owes to the federal government.

Yellow has paid about $66 million in interest on the loan, but it has repaid only $230, not $230,000, $230 on the principal. And it's a balloon note that comes due next year. And their problems with this stuff predated the pandemic. And it goes back to the original financial crisis. What they were doing, this is a company that's been around over a hundred years, trucking company. So what is it that the current management has done to drive this thing into the ground? Well, after the previous crisis, they went on a shopping trip, you know, charge it.

Hey, everything's on sale. Let's buy it. You know, it's a, it's so cheap. We can't afford not to buy it. And so they went around and started loading themselves up with debt and then the debt was too much for them to do anything with and so they were already in financial straits and this is the big scandal they were already uh circling the drain if you will when they were given 700 million dollars by the trump administration that's what people have been criticizing him for. Yellow had longstanding financial problems before the pandemic. It was not essential to national security. It should never have received a $700 million taxpayer bailout from the Treasury Department,

says a Republican from Arkansas, French Hill. Years of poor financial management at Yellow had resulted in hardworking people losing their jobs. And of course, that's what happens. Mismanagement in Washington of the economy and prohibitions and bans and all the rest of the stuff is going to result in a lot more people losing their jobs than just the Yellow trucking employees. A lot more.

Well, Elon Musk is not having trouble raising money. He just got $280 million for brain implants. I see this stuff. This is just straight out of science fiction. This is like, it's almost like a dark comedy. And of course, helping in the fundraising was the Founders Fund, which was leading in this. And that's Peter Thiel, his former partner at PayPal,

that type of thing. So they're putting a lot of money into these brain implants. And Gates is very heavily involved in some of the other billionaires who want to rule the world. And another company called Synchron. Synchron has already started human trials. And Elon Musk has gotten a green light for human trials. But again, this guy is the hero of the conservatives, isn't he? How is it that he can do all the stuff

that Bill Gates does? And we despise Bill Gates for it, but you know, when Elon Musk does it now, we love him. We love him because of Twitter or X or X and, uh, uh, because of our X speech. And so now this is the way that he controls conservatives. He comes out and he, you know, don't pay attention to the neural link. Don't pay any attention to this transhumanist agenda of this guy. This dark idea of reading our minds and manipulating our minds and all that. Don't pay any attention to that. He's going to help us with social media. Yeah, right. And so he comes out and he says he's going to fund lawsuits against any employers who fired workers over their Twitter history.

If you are unfairly treated by your employer due to postings or liking something on this platform, we will fund your legal bill. No limit. Please let us know. You see, this guy's already playing with our minds. He doesn't have his electronic screw top surgery. He doesn't have that in our head yet.

He hasn't put the probes into our heads, but he's already playing with our minds. Because all of this stuff that these Silicon Valley billionaires do is all playing with your minds. He says, and we won't just sue. It'll be extremely loud and we will go after the board of directors of the companies, too, he said. He said he's already ready to take up the case of Kara Lynn, who was reportedly fired by Limited Run Games for following libs of TikTok and also other conservatives on Twitter.

He is now the champion of free speech. Where is he? I don't know. As I've said before, I haven't seen much of a change on Twitter. As a matter of fact, what has happened is by putting up these bandwidth limits and things like that, limits as to amount of use, I can't really watch my show three hours long on Twitter anymore. By the way, that reminds me.

You can chime in with this too, Travis. On BitChute, what they have done is they have changed the file sizes that go up. And we have tried a lot of different compression algorithms to try to get the file size down so that we can put up a full show now and keep under these limits that they have on the new limits on bit shoot have not been able to do it so the other alternative is that we're going to break this into different hours and i know people like to get the entire show and just let it stream sometimes but we're probably going to have to put it up in you know three segments or something like that in order for this new file size limit that they put on bit shoot and while we're probably going to have to put it up in three segments or something like that in order for this new file size limit that they put on BitChute.

And while we're talking about that and putting stuff up, again, yesterday we had tornadoes and things like that go through, and thank you for the people who emailed us and said they were praying for you. It was something, and we're still kind of locked in here. We've got a car on the other side of the tree that we can go places. But, you know, we have a long hill to walk down to get to that car. We had a tree that fell down in our driveway. And then we did not have sufficient gas for the chainsaw.

I know. I know. Rookie mistake here. We're going to, so, uh, but, uh, and, and then to complicate matters, uh, we had, um, uh, some friends who had, uh, from North Carolina, very close friends who went to the wedding and, um, and, uh, Texas. And, uh, we were telling them at the wedding uh about the auction where you got a truck and um uh that's over in Knoxville and it was really you get some really good deals and um Karen's twin brother got a car there and everything so we're telling them about that

they had a daughter that uh needed you know a car and um, get a reasonably good car for around $2,000, $3,000 or something like that. And, uh, so anyway, they got a car at auction and we brought it back for them over the weekend. And then it had some transmission issues. I think it's just low transmission fluid. It went into creeper mode, but then we put some transmission fluid and it seemed to be okay, but we took it back to them to have them take a look at it at the auction place. And we started out, and then all these storms started coming through. And so, you know, Karen and I were taking that. We had two separate cars because we had to be able to come back and leave that car there.

But, I mean, it was amazing. You know, between here and Knoxville, all the trees that were down, all the power lines that were down, everything else. And then we get back here and we got a tree across our driveway that we couldn't get back through. So yesterday was an interesting day. And hopefully the broadcast is going through okay because it is okay. Travis is nodding and said yes. Late last night, it was really slow because so many internet lines had been taken down. The internet is delivered on the same lines as a power.

And so they were redistributing the traffic and they had limited bandwidth. And so we only had less than one meg download speed. The upload speed for some reason was still good. But meg download speed. The upload speed, for some reason, was still good. But the download speed was really horrible. But today, this morning, it looks like they got it fixed. They said they were working through the night. So people around here are pretty good compared to any other place that I've lived. The people who work on the roads, people who work on the infrastructure here,

when things happen or they have to do road repair or something, they get on it and they get it done. It doesn't, uh, you know, there are places in Texas when we were there in the 1980s, uh, major road destruction from accidents or something like that. It was there the entire time we were there for three years. And then when I was in Austin, uh, we had some areas that were under construction the entire decade I was there. So I don't, I never got it finished. Not around here. They, they get it done. So, uh, anyway, as, um, people were talking about, well, they do something about it. You had a Gina Carano, I think is the way you pronounce her name, who got fired by Disney on the Mandalorian because of a statements that she said that they took exception to. Um, she said, I think I qualify.

So we'll see. Does he really want to take on Disney? Well, go for it. I'd like to see that. RFK Jr. says he's going to sue the state actors, Google and YouTube. They are state actors. They are the deputized state, as I've said. That's what I call them.

And, you know, I don't know what's going on. I'm glad he's doing it. Sue him. Go for it. I want to see these people sued. But just understand that YouTube and Google are designed now to hide information and to push agitprop, to push propaganda. That's it.

That's what they're designed for. As a matter of fact, I've said for the longest time, well before any of this censorship stuff happened, I said from the standpoint of geospatial intelligence, I said back when Ed Snowden did that, I said, do you understand what the purpose of social media companies are in particular and the Internet in general? In the late 1990s when it became practical,

you had the CIA openly create a venture capital firm. You had the NSA and CIA executives sitting on the board of directors of these venture capital firms that were pouring money into all these Internet companies that operated for free because they wanted to get information about you. You realize, of course, that the Internet itself

was a brainchild of DARPA going back to the 1960s, particularly J.C.R. Licklider, who was a DARPA psychologist. You understand this whole thing has been a psyop, right? The whole thing has been a rope-a-dope. The whole thing was set to censor and to control and to observe us and to manipulate public opinion. By being able to put this stuff out, and I've talked about this before, just real briefly, look at how they're able to manipulate public opinion with newspapers, right? William Randolph Hearst. Tell me what war you want. I'll get that war for you. And then we add radio to it. And we've got gerbils and all the rest of this. A great device for propaganda. Then you add television. It becomes even more visceral and emotional,

right? And movies and that as well. But what's different about the internet is that it closes the feedback loop. They don't just have to push this stuff out there and then try to do some awkward polling to see how this is. They can precisely look at the internet and scrape the information off and they can see how you are reacting to their propaganda. Are you buying it? Do you believe it? Oh, well, what is it that they don't believe?

Let's tweak that. It gives them real-time, very detailed feedback about the propaganda that they can manipulate. And so they may do, in this RFK Jr. lawsuit, they may carve out a protection for political candidates or something like that. But don't expect this leopard to change its spots. We'll be right back. Thank you. You're listening to The David Knight Show. This is a letter I got from listener Brian, and he's talking about, he says, well, whether or not we like it or not, the choice is Trump or the deep state. No, it's not. No, it's not. As I've said over and over

again, the solution to our problems does not lie in Washington in any way, shape, or form. Certainly doesn't lie in the Oval Office. This is Hegelian 4D chess to get people to think like this. The lesser of two evils or whatever. Again, it's the Hegelian idea that you give people, it's either this or that. And then we're going to synthesize something through that, right? We've got the thesis, the antithesis, and that's your only two options, right? And of course, course you know we can trust trump because he's playing 40 chess he really is on our side he really is an honest constitution loving trustworthy guy really is even though he does don't don't pay attention to what he he does just pay attention to what i say about what he does right well these people tell us And so he begins by talking about how he saw the,

or he knows of the Oppenheimer movie, the fact that his uncle worked on the Manhattan Project. And he said, I think he was working only for the good of making something for diffusion energy to generate power and so forth. But it was much more than that, he said. As a matter of fact, if we have time for it, I want to read you some of the quotes

that were put out by many people at the time, many generals at the time, who said that dropping the bomb was not necessary. Very different from what I have heard my entire life. People saying, well, we had to do that because because Japanese were going to fight us island by island. There's quotes from the head of the U.S. military, every branch essentially, and from Eisenhower himself saying, no, that's not true.

They were done. Anyway, he says, out of President Trump, I do not expect a savior, but I see a person who is always doing something good. Not in 2020. There's not one thing that he did in 2020 that was good. He told you you were nonessential. He locked down this country, pushed the mask, pushed the social distancing, and I watched all this stuff happening, just as I said yesterday.

I was sitting there three months after this stuff was put in, and everybody's still going along with it. Even many of the big churches who are now pushing back and even doing documentaries about how we have to understand, you know, that, have to understand history and church history and the rest of this stuff. This game that was played on us in 2020, even the people who understand it now, were still following us in June.

And I saw Trump, while he had everybody locked down, non-essential, killing this country, putting us on universal basic income training and all the rest of this stuff, creating a poison, a poison to be sent around the world. I'm sorry. This guy is not on our side. He's not on our team. He's on their team.

He has done everything for them. Everything. Wake up. He says, how are you going to do justice with great expected results when your mind is clouded all the time? You know, Trump is just, he's oppressed. And it's like these people, they're bipolar when they come to it. You talk about Trump derangement syndrome, take a look at Trump supporters. They're bipolar.

This guy, he's a victim. He's just a victim of the deep state. But he's going to be the only person who can save us from them. Seriously? He can't save himself. He's pathetic. Everything that he does is about himself. Trump means well, but he needs to know what is right no matter what. Well, I don't think he does. He's just trying to make America grifted again.

So he says, either way, whoever we get, he says, I hate his new speech, which gets good at 45 minutes here. Agenda 47, again, returning production

of essential medicines back to America and ending Biden's pharmaceutical shortages. Is that the problem? The problem is we don't have enough pharmaceuticals. The problem is we've got Biden's pharmaceutical shortages. Is that the problem? The problem is we don't have enough pharmaceuticals. The problem is we've got too many pharmaceuticals. The problem is that if you look at what, read between the lines,

what is this guy saying? Trump is laying the groundwork for massive funding of his friends at big pharmaceutical companies. They bought him. They bought him. They bought him when he brought in RFK Jr. at the beginning of his administration during the transition period. Said, yeah, I want you to run a, let's take a look at the safety of vaccines. Let's have a committee, and I want you to run that

and take a look at the safety of the vaccine. That was publicized, and immediately the pharmaceutical companies give him millions of dollars and then RFK Jr. never hears from him again. Instead, Trump appointed the CEO of Eli Lilly as head of the pharmaceutical industry. You talk about a revolving door? You talk about graft and corruption? Yeah, let's talk about Burisma.

Let's talk about Hunter Biden. But let's also talk about Donald Trump and what he did with the pharmaceutical industry as well. Which one had a bigger effect on us? You know, $10 million to one guy, $10 million to another guy, whatever. Which one was it that harmed us more? Seriously. I don't applaud or excuse corruption from anybody. But let's talk about who did the greater damage.

I haven't been damaged by Burisma, but I've been damaged by Big Pharmaceutical. We've all had. We all have. Didn't even take their vaccine. I've been damaged by it. All society's been damaged by it. Even though Trump sent a

trillion dollars in times past, he has now learned. Has he now learned from the past? Well, I would say absolutely no, because he's still bragging about it. This is a man who is incapable of acting except out of his own self-interest or revenge, as his former lawyer said. He goes on to say, well, maybe all candidates are evil. All I can say is actions speak louder than words. We'll see how the actors play out.

Well, that is true, but, you know, as I said yesterday, we need to understand that we need to focus on policies and not focus on the person. And if there isn't anybody who's running who's going to push these policies, let's start working somewhere else. Let's not keep doing the same thing and getting the same results. The solution is not going to be found in Washington. The solution will be found by cutting off Washington.

I mean, go back and listen to Ronald Reagan. He said government is not solution, meaning federal government, right? Especially. But, you know, government at any level is not the solution to any problem, really. But, you know, that's especially true of the federal government. So if the government is the problem and the federal government is the biggest problem, let's begin by cutting the federal government out of our life. And that means that you do it at the base level. If you want radical change, we've got to start at the roots. We've got to start at the grassroots, which means that you start at your most local level.

All politics is local, said Tip O'Neill. I mean, go back to the 80s and listen to Tip O'Neill and Ronald Reagan. All politics is local, says the Democrat. Reagan says government is the problem. Okay, well, let's get rid of the problem at the local level. A radical solution is one that pulls out the problem by the roots. So let's get to the root of the problem. Let's let the grassroots people pull out the federal government at its roots because that's what it's done. It's putting down more and more feet, you know, tap feeders into us all the time. It's like a weed, like a cancer. It's like

kudzu. That's one of the the analogies we used to use 30 years ago in the libertarian party you know kudzu big problem in the south it can grow a couple of feet a day and it was not indigenous to this area it was brought in i think from korea i think the only use that they've found for it is to sell the roots and do some food stuff with the roots. But I mean, you just can't hardly stop this stuff. And so he said, you know, government is like kudzu. You bring it in to solve a problem, and before you know it, it's taken over everything. And it truly is.

But let's just understand, you know, all candidates are evil. Everybody is evil. Nobody is perfect, as I pointed out yesterday. And so we take a look. It certainly is legitimate to take a look at what they do in order to identify their character. I mean, if this person has no integrity and if they're a hardcore liar, well, let's not even go there and evaluate what they're saying.

But then in addition to it, let's not play the same game that the Marxists pushing CRT are using to purge everybody, right? If you demand perfection, well, then you're going to throw out Jefferson and Washington and anybody in the past. They were all flawed human beings. It doesn't mean that they lacked character or integrity. They still had character or integrity, but they didn't have, you know, they were not perfect. And we're not perfect either. And I was pointing that out. You know, you talk about

pastors or other Christians or whatever. Nobody is perfect in any of this stuff. So we pay attention to the policies. And again, just as I said yesterday, you know, when Paul was talking to people in Philippi, he says, look, these people are, you got people there who are, or in Rome, who are trying to make things difficult for me. They're trying to profit themselves from the gospel, but I'm just glad that they're preaching the gospel.

But on the other hand, when he talks to a different church, he said, if there's a different gospel that's being preached out there, I don't care if it's coming from me or it's coming from a perfect angel, literally, that person should be accursed. So the issue is the principles and what they're telling us here. And we understand that everybody's going to be flawed to some extent. When it gets to a certain level, then it becomes an integrity issue. It becomes a hypocrisy issue. So we take a look at that, as Tucker rightfully said when he was just amazed at reading the Bible for the first time at the age of 54, in that interview that he had prior to him interviewing all the presidential candidates, Republican presidential candidates, he said,

yeah, what I was surprised about in the Bible was how flawed everybody was. Big flaws. And the Bible shows that. The Bible shows that, you know, the people that God uses, all of us, have big flaws in them. I remember the favorite thing of mine that was a previous pastor that I had, he said, you know, God spoke to Balaam through a dumb ass, and he's used many dumb asses since then to speak to people. And every time I get a compliment, I think about that. It certainly applies to me. So, you know, we have to understand that perfection is not an issue.

But let's take a look at what people have done. And let's look at what they're proposing to do. And I'm sorry, but Trump just doesn't make the grade. He's not even close. All the Republicans who told Donald Trump that he was lying about the election fraud. This is from Huffington Post. They're glad to put this together. But is this the reason why out of 44 cabinet members, only four of them would endorse Trump? And so they go down this long list. Of course, you know, Mike Pensive, John Ratcliffe, who was the director of national intelligence,

you know who replaced him was Rick Grinnell, the guy who was the virtue signaling LGBT hire by Trump. Oh, he loved Trump and has continued to campaign for him with the LGBT people. The former director of CISA, cybersecurity, right? Remember right after the election, the inside job people were telling you that it was a sting and that CISA was a part of this, and they had blockchain watermarked ballots,

and that Trump had already sent a 20,000 National Guard out and was arresting people because they knew all about this stuff. That was all a lie, of course. And then there were people like General William, Attorney General William Barr. Look, Barr was the deep state. You think that Trump is going to push back against the deep state? He elevated, promoted the deep state. Barr was the lieutenant for George H.W. Bush to rebuild the CIA, and George

H.W. Bush made him one of the youngest attorney generals. He's always been a CIA guy. Gina Haspel was the one who pushed out the lies that got us into lies about weapons of mass destruction that got us into a rock war. She did it overseeing the torture program. She oversaw the cover-up of the torture and the rest of this stuff. She was promoted to head of CIA by Donald Trump. That's the deep state, folks. He was trying to make peace with the deep state. He was working with the deep state.

Yeah, if they stick the knife in his back, he gets what he deserves, frankly. And then take Fauci. Is Fauci the deep state. He was working with the deep state. Yeah, if they stick the knife in his back, well, he gets what he deserves, frankly. And then take Fauci. Is Fauci the deep state? Oh, yeah. This guy making more money than the president of the United States? How is he doing that? How is he doing that? Making a lot more money than the president. You know, his bosses' salaries were capped at the salary level of the vice president. So the head of the NIH, uh, is, um, uh, you know, and his head, you know, you have HHS and they have NIH. That was Francis Collins. And then underneath, um, the NIH, you had Fauci's thing.

So he's like, you know like three levels down from the top. All of his bosses had their salary capped at or below the vice president's level. How did he get that? And he's been there since 1985. There isn't anybody that's more deep state than Fauci. And yet he was given a medal on Trump's last day in office. Trump would not fire him. His people wanted him fired.

It was headline news and several conservative websites that DeSantis came out and said, yeah, Trump lost. But there was more to it than that. And, of course, the response from these conservative outlets, look at this, DeSantis, he's such a traitor. He was talking to NBC, but they didn't say anything about what DeSantis actually said. So you recently said the election is what it is. You said all those theories that were put out did not prove to be true. So can we

just put this to bed so you don't have to be asked about this a million more times? Yes or no, did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election? Whoever puts their hand on the Bible on January 20th every four years is the winner. And I don't think the election, and I've pointed out in that same quote, and I've said this from the very beginning, when they changed the rules for COVID, I think that was wrong. I think some of those changes were unconstitutional. When they do mass mail ballots, I think that's wrong. I think ballot harvesting is wrong. I think the Zuckerbucks were wrong.

I think the fact that the FBI was working with Facebook and these other tech companies to censor the Hunter Biden story was wrong. And so I don't think it was the perfect election. I remember after a lot of the media was saying this is the most secure election in history. How could it be the most secure with those millions of mail ballots going out? At the same time, at the time after the election, they were talking about Maduro stealing votes on the voting machines or whatever, and none of those theories proved to be true. But here's the issue that I think is important for Republican voters to think about. Why did we have all those mail votes? Because of Trump turned the government over to Fauci. They embraced lockdowns.

They did the CARES Act, which funded mail-in ballots across the country. Donald Trump signed that bill that funded the mail ballots that all the Republicans have been so concerned about. And also with the censorship of the Hunter Biden, that was Donald Trump's FBI that was working with that. He didn't have control over his own government. So me as the nominee, we will not let them run circles around us. If there is ballot Florida, we ban ballot harvesting, right? I think that's what you should do. If there is ballot harvesting that's allowed in like Nevada, we are going to do it too. We're not going to fight with one hand tied behind our backs. And so I think all of those issues were very problematic. But at the end of the day,

Donald Trump helped facilitate that whole set of circumstances. OK, but respectfully, you did not clearly answer that question. And if you can't give a yes or no on whether or not Trump lost, then how can you? Of course, no, of course he lost. Trump lost the 2020 election. Of course, Joe Biden's the president. But the issue is, I think what people in the media and elsewhere, they want to act like somehow this was just like the perfect election. So I don't think it was it was a good run election. But I also think Republicans didn't fight back.

You've got to fight back when that is happening. And you shouldn't have provided all the money to fund the mail in ballots. Exactly right. I would not have said anything different about that myself. Quite frankly, I think he hit all the points, things that I've been saying for the longest time. Look, Trump set up these new rules. He added a new level of corruption that we've never seen before. In addition to all the other issues that we had, we had multiple levels of new corruption, as he pointed out. And as I said at the beginning of the show,

he gets hammered. It was like the first comment was, well, these politicians will never answer the question, and had 400 upvotes on that, 450 on YouTube where I saw that video. Well, the reality is that he answered it right away at the beginning, and then he answered it at the end. And what he was saying is, and here's why he lost the election. He lost the election because of things that he did and because of people he put in power and because of things that he failed to do. It's his failure. He failed.

He failed. If there was corruption in terms of ballot harvesting and things like that, that's Trump's problem. He enabled all of that. And so I had a, I was on a mass mailing list here from somebody. They just sent this to everybody. And somehow I'm on this person's list. Says, if your vote doesn't count, do you count?

Yes, I'm not defined by my vote. I'm sorry, I'm bigger than that. And you are too. You're far more important than politics. You know, that was another thing the other day. I saw that Marjorie Taylor Greene goes on with Jack Visobian and she says, yeah, we have to understand that politics is not the be all and the end all of life. You know, that I follow Jesus Christ and that. And so again, good for her. She says, I've got a lot of issues with Marjorie Taylor Greene on certain issues.

And also in terms of, you know, things that I would think would impact on her character and integrity. But, you know, I'm glad that she says that what she said about that was true. And so I certainly do endorse it. What DeSantis said about this stuff was true. Everything he said that was true. And so I certainly do endorse it. What DeSantis said about this stuff was true. Everything he said there was true. But the manga people respond by saying, he went on with NBC and he criticized Trump.

End of story. That's all I hear out of all that. They will not respond to any of the issues that he had to say there because he was right about every one of them and these grifting hucksters and the alternative conservative media know it they knew it in march of 2020 and they know it now they know what's going on alex made record profits that year amazing locking down the country keeping people afraid and profiting from selling storable food. Just disgusting.

So this person says, so we get a receipt when buying milk. Why not after voting? Well, that's good. Let's do something like that. You know, easily you can do that. You can get people receipts so they can monitor this and, you know, still keep it secret. You know, it's no longer a theory that people are going to be punished for their political views. We can see that happening everywhere in every way, but there should be ways that you'd be

able to go back and audit your vote. Uh, the technology is there. They just don't want to implement it. Let me just say this, by the way, one of the easiest ways to audit an election, and I've said this all along as well. If you think that we have fair and honest elections in the United States, and we've always had them, and maybe, you know, something went wrong in 2020 for the first time, is that really your position? We have these exit polls, and you see the news media talking about the exit polls, and they will tell you, well, this demographic, you know, we have left-handed men who are white voted for this candidate and all the rest of the stuff.

I mean, they get it down to the fine detail. You know, who won the left-handed white man vote? You know, all the rest of the stuff. Every kind of demographic cross-section you can imagine, they give you a total and they tell you how it happened with their exit polling. But you know what they will never tell you? They will never tell you, well, the exit polls say that candidate A got this many votes and candidate B got that many votes. And they don't tell you that because they don't want you comparing the exit polls

to the reported results. And you know why? The American State Department will evaluate whether or not an election is rigged or not by looking at exit polling versus reported results. And if they're more than 5% difference, the U.S. State Department says that that election was rigged. That's a real easy metric. And I've said this throughout all of this back and forth about the election. You know, right after it was done, I said it. And I was saying it before that, as a matter of fact.

I was saying it before we had the 2020 election. But I really emphasized it in the aftermath of that. I said, look, you know, you want to know, that's one of the simplest measurements that you could do. There's one organization in the United States that does all of the exit polling. And it's a pool resource. In other words, all of the mainstream media, everybody draws from that. So when you have Fox News or CNN or MSNBC or ABC, CBS, NBC, whenever these people are talking about their demographic polls, you know, how many left-handed white men voted for candidate A versus candidate B, they're all pulling from the same organization. And guess what?

That organization knows what the total vote for candidate A and total vote for candidate B was, and they don't want you to know that. That in and of itself is issue of corruption and rigging. You don't want to tell people what the data is? You don't want your data audited? Okay, think you're up to something quite frankly i've said that about the climate stuff i said that about the covet stuff i say that about the election stuff so um anyway this guy finishes up by saying trump or rfk need needs a new congress and when they have their rallies there should be a recall, workers presented with forms to fill out.

Let's see, this person says, oh, we've got to have Trump or RFK Jr. Well, I'm sorry I don't buy that, quite frankly. Again, you know, when you look at the points that DeSantis hit on this thing, he changed the rules. He changed the rules for voting. Then he loses and he complains about it. He turned the country over to Fauci, as DeSantis said. He turned the country over to Fauci. How many times do we have to say that? And not only that, I would have said some additional things, and I have said additional things all this time. It wasn't the Democrat governors who

did this to us. There was a lot of Republican governors, and both the Republican and the Democrat governors were being paid a fortune. Take Governor Brad Little, Republican governor in Idaho, locked that state down and told the Republican legislators who were going to, and again, they did this in a year when a lot of legislatures were not meeting. Texas legislature was not in session that year.. Texas legislature was not in session that year. The Idaho legislature was not in session that year. And so when they wanted to call a special session, you had Brad Little in Idaho

told his fellow Republicans they couldn't come. They were going to pull back some of these lockdown issues of him. And he put together a rigged thing that actually gave him more power and then called them back into session and told them to rubber stamp approve this, and they did. And Brad Little was given more money than the entire budget of the state, the governor was. And this happened in state after state after state.

And he was able to use that as discretionary spending. And when you have an individual like a governor, or you take Pete Buttigieg, as I've talked about, you know, giving him something like $200 billion, and he can go around and make political allies with that in various states to serve him in future political campaigns. All right, I get your support. Well, you know, what's it worth to you? You know, I've got this $200 billion worth of cash. You want a few hundred million dollars of that for highways in your state to look like a hero? Same game was being run by the governors.

Again, they had more money, typically, given to them by Trump than they already had in the entire state budget. And this was money to be spent at the discretion of the governor. That's why these governors did it. They were paid to do it. Trump said, I paid Hillary Clinton.

Yeah, Hillary Clinton was at my wedding. So what? I paid her to be there. Well, you know what? He paid these governors to make us non-essential. The buck stops with him and the buck started with him. It was bribery. It was bribery. It was bribery.

So yeah, you want to talk about Hunter Biden? Remember it was the Trump FBI. And I say the Trump FBI, he fired two people on the FBI, right? Why didn't he fire Christopher Ray? Why didn't he put somebody in that was honest in the first place?

Right. But he did fire two people. And I've talked about that saying he could have fired Fauci. He fired two people in the FBI. As a matter of fact, uh, Comey, he didn't even tell Comey was fired. Comey was holding a meeting, uh, uh, in California, I think with, uh, other FBI officials. And he sees on the news that he's been fired. He didn't even notify him. You know, the guy, he makes enemies with everybody the way he does things. He doesn't even give somebody a chance to try to save face and, you know, I'm going to get rid of you. I'm going to give you an opportunity to write a letter of resignation. And if you don't do that, then I will fire you publicly, but that'll be a humili thing. No, Trump goes out of his way to humiliate everybody.

The people that he brings into his cabinet, he gets tired of them. You know, it's an apprentice game. And so what he wants to do is then publicly humiliate them. He thinks that makes him look better. So the ballot harvesting, as DeSantis said, we didn't allow that in Florida. We didn't allow that. We banned it. He said, if I'm president, we're going to ban that nationally as well. But Trump's approach to this is not only the guy who set up the ballot harvesting stuff,

the guy who had the vote by mail election is saying, well, now we're going to do a better job of ballot harvesting than the Democrats did. Do you believe that? Do you believe the guy who went bankrupt running a casino can do a better job of ballot harvesting than the Democrats do? I don't think so, even from a pragmatic standpoint. But I think it just illustrates just how ethically corrupt the man is. He doesn't want to fix anything. He wants to do a better job at grifting. Man probably looks at this and say, you know, if I get back in, we can probably make more money with Donald Trump Jr. than Biden did with Hunter.

That's probably what he's looking at. But he points out, you know, Trump turned the country over to Fauci. Trump funded the ballot harvesting and the mail ballots and all this stuff. He funded it with the CARES Act. Just understand that. But, you know, the only thing the MAGA people say, he went on NBC. He is a traitor. He criticized Trump.

Are the criticisms true? Yes, they are. DeSantis blamed the former president for turning the government over to Fauci, allowing mass amounts of mail-in balloting during the COVID-19 pandemic he argued could have had an effect on the election results. The governor also pointed to Florida's ban

on ballot harvesting as an example of his record on election integrity. And, uh, so the result is that the Trump campaign spokesman and the MAGA people come back and say, Ron DeSantis should stop being Biden's biggest cheerleader. Yeah. Dishonest there. Um, so he also insisted that the GOP needs to move on from Trump in 2024 if they want to beat Biden

in a general election next year he said in the interview he said if the election is a referendum on Joe Biden's policies and the failures that we've seen and if we present a positive vision for the future we will win and we'll have a chance to turn this country around. So yeah, talk about a positive vision. Talk about Biden's failures. He says, if on the other hand, the election is not about January 20, 2025, but if it's about January the 6th, 2021, or what document was left behind in the toilet at Mar-a-Lago, if the election is going to be a referendum on that, we lose, we lose. And we just say this, you lose, not just the presidency,

but you lose the house and the Senate as well. And who knows what's going to happen in state governments as well. And then you're going to be dealing with a consolidated Democrat government. We've got a razor-thin lead in the House right now that could easily disappear. And so Biden's Department of Justice asks the court to limit what Trump can say. See, this is wrong. But Trump wants this. Trump taunts them.

Trump does things in social media and says things that would get anybody else thrown in prison immediately. He wants this. Because he knows exactly what helps him. And he doesn't care what happens to the country. He doesn't care if we have a Democrat president and a Democrat Congress. He doesn't care if he destroys the GOP or this country. It's what's in it for him.

Even if he loses a presidency, he's making lots of money as a victim of the corrupt Department of Justice. And they are corrupt. So, yeah, we want to make this election about what documents he left behind in the toilet at Mar-a-Lago. Yeah, actually, the Democrats and Trump both want to do that. That's why Trump says stuff like that, like he did over the weekend.

If you come after me, I'm going to come after you, you know, to the prosecutors. Yeah, again, threaten them. It's not just, you know, creating crimes by threatening the prosecutors and judges. He's inviting all this. And then you take a look at his ally, Bernie Kerik. Now, I've not talked about Bernie Kerik too much. He's a former police chief of New York City.

Do you know when he was police chief? He was police chief when Rudy Giuliani was mayor. Rudy Giuliani was mayor and Bernie was police chief when 9-11 happened. Oh, isn't that interesting? I've always called Giuliani Rudy 9-11. Well, let's call this guy Bernie 9-11. So Bernie and Rudy. That was like a couple of Sesame Street characters. Bernie and Rudy were there for the 9-11 cover-up. Who knows? Maybe they even had something to do with the inside job. You know, you got these people now out there saying, you know, Infowars. Yeah, January the 6th was an inside job.

Yeah, it was. Probably included a lot of the people who were there with the original inside job of 9-11. These corrupt people who did the cover-up, at the very least. Trump appointed Gina Haspel, who did the cover-up about the lies and the torture that got us into the Iraq War. And then he uses these two guys who were a part of the coverup of nine 11. He uses them to investigate the 2020 election. Now, the reason we talk about this is because Bernie Carrick is still trying to keep secret some of the records from 2020 Bernie and Rudy were supposedly

investigating the 2020 election. So fine, why don't you show what you found? Not only does he not show what he found, but he's going to keep these documents. In a lawsuit, he is refusing to turn over more than 300 records sought in a 2020 election-related lawsuit just before he is set to talk with the special counsel's office. He says they fall under attorney-client confidentiality. And so again, he was working with Rudy following the 2020 election. They've got records. They never proved any of their assertions and now they don't want to even in a lawsuit

show these records. Why is that? What have they got to hide? Yeah. What have you found out that you don't want us to know? So I'm understand that, uh, you know, as people were saying this, uh, you know, the department justice coming after Trump, trying to put a gag on him.

Well, guess what? That was shut down. Yeah, Trump did not get victimized with this. The Department of Justice was slapped by the judge in the Trump documents case, Judge Eileen Cannon, said the special counsel states in conclusory terms

that the supplement should be sealed from public view to comport with grand jury secrecy. But the motion to leave for leave and supplement and the supplement plainly failed to satisfy the burden of establishing a sufficient legal or factual basis to warrant sealing the motion and supplement. So that part of the gag order fails. But he's still a victim for everybody, right? Trump goes after Mike Pence, Mike Pencev. And again, Pence does have a lot of explaining to do. As he did his contemporaneous records, you know, he was saying,

while I was there and Trump was hectoring me to do this, he was angry because I had filed a friend of the court brief saying that the vice president doesn't have the authority to do this. And then when I talked to him again, he said, you've got to do this. And he said, the court just ruled on this. And they said that I don't have that. And so this is the back and forth that is happening there. But then the problem that Pence and the prosecution has

is what he said on January the 4th, two days before this happened. I know we all got our doubts about the last election. And I want to assure you, I share the concerns of millions of Americans about voting irregularities. And I promise you, come this Wednesday, we'll I talked about that yesterday. I played that clip yesterday. But, you know, Trump says the VP had power that Mike didn't understand. That's not true. That's not true. But this has now become professional

wrestling. Trump calls Mike pensive, delusional. And now he wants to show that he's a tough guy. You see, this is all juvenile professional wrestling. That's what this is. That's all that Trump is doing. Trump isn't going to come out and say, well, you know, Mike Pence said this to the audience, but then he claims he took contemporaneous notes that say just the opposite. You know, let's, uh, no, he's a tough guy now, right? Yeah. I'm going to beat him up. This is phony as a stuff with Elon Musk and Zuckerberg. I mean, literally doing a wrestling match. But these guys are doing a wrestling match with politics.

That is really what is happening with this. Before we get our guest on, I want to talk real quickly about 5G. I went a little bit long with this segment. But I want to get into 5G and EMF stuff. Because this is very important. This is a vice article talking about scientists controlling human DNA with electricity. They call it a leap forward. Oh, is it? Is this really about changing our DNA? You know, I was called a conspiracy theorist. I was derided when I said that these Trump shots were genetic code injections. I called them GCIs. Remember? I didn't call them mRNA.

I called them GCI, genetic code injections. Now scientists have demonstrated that human genes can be controlled with electricity, a breakthrough that could pave the way toward wearable devices that program our genes. Great. Look, I also pointed out for the longest time, I said, when I went back and I started doing research on Monsef Slaoui, I saw that he'd been in one of these pharmaceutical, you know, they have these meetings and these presentations and everything, and they had all the usual suspects were always there, you know, lined up just like it's a criminal lineup, but

they're sitting down at a dais instead, right? And so you'd have Francis Collins. You would have Monsef Slaoui. You would have Fauci. They were always a permanent fixture in these things. And when I started going back to look at the connections between Monsef Slaoui and Fauci and Collins and stuff like that, I found that they were doing one conference after the other talking about electroceuticals

electro suit not pharmaceuticals but electroceuticals in other words we are going to start modifying people we're going to we're going to help you with your health right going to help you with your health with electricity better living through electricity as they shut down the grid they shut down the grid as they tell us we can't have anything that's not an electric appliance or an electric car, then they shut the grid down. But now they're going to come after us, and they're going to reprogram our genes with electricity. Okay.

Yeah, interesting, isn't it? Researchers are able to trigger insulin production in human cells by sending electrical currents through an electrogenic genetic interface that activates targeted genes. Future applications of this interface could be developed to deliver therapeutic doses to treat a wide range of conditions, including diabetes particularly.

What they did was they created some humanized mice. Yeah. And they put some human cells in these mice, and then they were able to trigger these human cells. These were pancreatic cells, and I would say cells. They probably got pancreas from a baby

that the plant parent had chopped up on order. And they take the baby pancreas, and they put it in a mouse, but maybe it has cells. I don't know a part of it because what they were able to do was to send it the right electrical signals and they could trigger this thing to start producing insulin or stop producing insulin whatever they could program it that way scientists led by jenbo wang a molecular biologist out of zurich have invented

battery-powered interfaces they call the direct current DC actuated regulation technology, or DART, to trigger specific gene responses with electric current. See, we were told that mRNA could not program your genes. Oh, you can't do that. You can't. You got to use CRISPR or something like that. Well, that's not true. As I pointed out, I said, just think about this. Simple logic tells you that if the purpose of mRNA is to help to copy DNA, then what happens when the copy is not perfect? What happens if perhaps you are trying to make it not perfect? In other words, you're trying to make it not perfect. In other words, you're trying to alter it.

And then we had scientists at the University of, Thomas Jefferson University, who, as all this stuff was happening in 2020, they said, look, we've been able to do genetic modification using mRNA. Well, now they can do genetic modification using electrical signals here. On Rockfin, thank you very much, Greg Talent. Appreciate that tip. Thank you very much, Geesebusters. I really do appreciate that. All evil leads to Trump. Thanks for reminding us, David. I don't say all evil, but certainly the love of money is a root of all evil. And if you ever saw anybody that loves money more than Donald Trump, well, yeah, there's Elon Musk and other people.

They love money just as much Bigelow. These other guys, it certainly is at the basis of all that, isn't it? And on Rockfin, Mr. Goldfold, um,

I thank you for the tip. He says 160 people watching now on Rockfin and there's only 20 bucks in the till folks. David will vanish if we don't support. Well, thank you. Appreciate that. Uh,

donate your Starbucks money once a week, and he'll survive. DK, I'd like to see you go paywall, subscription, replete with website, then we say goodbye to these cheap freeloaders. Well, I want to make it. Look, I understand that I want people to be able to try the show for free, and I also understand that people are going through difficult times. I said that in 2020 when we started. 2021, I should say. A lot of people locked down looking at losing their jobs because they wouldn't take the vaccine, other things like that. And I said, you know, there's

two aspects of this, you know, we just hope that people voluntarily contribute. But the other part of this is really the only way that we're going to push back against this is if we can wake people up and get them to start connecting the dots. So I appreciate the sentiment. I appreciate the support. Thank you. Let's talk a little bit more about this electrogenetic interfaces. They said they may be the missing link in the path to full compatibility

and interoperability of the electronic and genetic worlds. Now think about that. These are the Swiss scientists who are doing this right now. And I want you to think about, connect this dot, okay? Connect what he just said. This may be the missing link in the path, the full compatibility and interoperability of the electronic and the genetic world. Elon Musk has said a couple of things. First of all, you know, he says we have to become cyborgs in order to be able to survive the coming artificial intelligence explosion, number one.

Okay, so he's a transhumanist. He wants us to become part man, part machine. He's got Neuralink out there. That could be the missing link, right? And this kind of stuff. We don't want to merge the biological and the electronic world. Sorry, we don't. We don't want to become cyborgs. But he does. And that is very concerning. Just a little bit more on this and then we'll go to our guest. Again, the team aimed to forge a direct connection between our analog DNA, which is the biological

alphabet that governs the life cycles of all organisms on Earth. All living things, plants and animals, have the same DNA because they have the same designer, the same creator. That's the fingerprint right there. It doesn't have anything to do with backbones and vertebrae like the evolutionists say. No, that's the fingerprint right there. Doesn't have anything to do with backbones and vertebrae, like the evolutionists say. No, it's the DNA. The DNA.

And the electronic systems that form the basis of digital technology. So they're trying to bring these things together. And that is one of the things that we have to be very concerned about. I don't have time to talk about it, but I'll pick up on this tomorrow. And that is an article from Children's Health Defense. I'm sorry, this is not even the article from Children's Health Defense, but the unsettling rise of microwave syndrome. They began by a 10-year-old daughter, never had problems sleeping. By the morning after, they put a 5G cell tower installed within 450 feet of her home in Massachusetts. She woke

up complaining of headaches, dizziness, buzzing in her head, general malaise. This is being repeated over and over again. And if you look and see what they were doing in New York City, and I talked about this, you know, people woke up the next morning, it was like an invasion of the Triffids. They got this big thing right in the window. And the woman says, but my baby's bed is right there. I mean, it wasn't 450 feet away. It wasn't four or five feet away from the baby's bed. And so it's so close. They're looking at this thing in detail. It's got a thing on there and it talks about how you got to put it back a certain number of feet. And so they called up the company that just installed it, or the internet company. And they said, this is supposed to be X number of feet

away from any people. Well, send somebody out right away. They sent somebody out and they took off the label. They took off the label. Yeah. See no evil, feel no evil, right? I mean, that's the amazing thing about this. I've got a lot more to say about this, but I want to get our guest on because coming in, we're going to take a quick break. And when we come back, we're going to talk to Horace Cooper, who has a new book, going to put y'all back in chains, how Joe Biden's policies hurt black Americans. And he's absolutely right about that. So we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back with Horace Cooper. Stay with us. The common man.

They created common core to dumb down our children. They created common past to track and control us. Their commons project, to make sure the commoners own nothing. And the communist future. They see the common man as simple, unsophisticated, ordinary. But each of us has worth and dignity created in the image of God.

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

Don't ask questions. Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. All right, welcome back. And before we go to our guest, Horace Cooper, who has not just written this book, but of course, he's also writes columns. He's a commentator and a constitutional scholar as well.

He's got a lot to talk about. I just want to say real quickly to a couple of people who just left tips on Rumble, Macor7, thank you very much. And also on Rumble, YJ72 said, thank you, David. We don't have health care. We have sick and death care. Yeah, that's right. That's all they care about is getting us sick and dead. So let's talk about the economic issues and how they want to put us all in chains. And the book again is put y'all back in chains.

How Joe Biden's policies hurt black Americans from commentator and constitutional scholar, Forrest Cooper. Thank you for joining us, Mr. Cooper. Hey, it's great to be on the program.

Thank you. And I'll just tell our listeners or watchers, I should say, because the listeners are just getting the audio anyway. He's a, he told me he's out on the sticks and he doesn't have the bandwidth for us to do the video. So there's a little bit. We don't have, usually we've got a guest window up there that we'll show you. But we'll just keep the video feed on me.

And Travis can put up the book so you guys can see what the book looks like as well as we're talking. Tell us a little bit about your book. Who's the target audience of this? Is this written just to black people or are they trying to put us all in chains? No, actually, they are trying to put us all in chains. But the purpose of the book was not to persuade black Americans or to persuade conservative Americans, the purpose of the book is to have a conversation with those individuals, those individuals who think that the best way to help Black America is specifically targeted policies that are separating races and picking racial winners and losers. This phenomenon has had disastrous effects whenever it's been tried, and we're trying

it again, and it is having similar effects. Yeah, you're absolutely right. Burgess Owens, a black congressman from, I think he's from Utah, talked about how vibrant the middle class was before they started all these welfare programs. And we've heard this from a lot of different people all over the place about how the we would think well-intentioned, you know, we're going to give people a hand up. But how it has been really detrimental and counterproductive, hasn't it? Oh, absolutely. It has.

So let me make sure people understand this. In the past, when we had Jim Crow, the president likes to talk about Jim Crow 2.0, but when we had Jim Crow, my great uncle, my grandmother's brother, he saved up his money. And there was a time, excuse me, when many Americans paid cash for their car instead of installment plans. My great uncle wanted to buy a Cadillac. And in 1958, he was told that the local dealer would not sell to him because he was black. So everybody understands, oh, wow, that's awful. Well, here's the thing that they don't understand. My great uncle was committed, and he went to Chicago and purchased a Cadillac and then drove it back to Texas. I mention this because everyone, I think, understands if you're a dealership, you want to sell as many vehicles as you can. A policy or statute or regulation in the South that limited the ability of dealers to sell to blacks didn't just hurt blacks.

It also hurt those dealers. Yes, that's right. In fact, whether you ran a dry cleaners, a seamstress shop, a restaurant, far less economic activity was able to occur because the government said, and this is what advocates during Jim Crow said, it was good for America. It was good for whites. It was good for blacks. Does this sound familiar? Oh, yeah. blacks. We're going to start recruiting airline pilots on the basis of race, not on the basis of excellence. We're going to start recruiting officers in the military on the basis of race, not on the basis of excellence. And you pick the area, and what you see is just like in the South,

where my great uncle grew up and where it is my heritage, there was less economic activity, i.e. more poverty, because people weren't free to interact with one another. This is the same phenomenon that we're seeing. Black Americans are beginning to recognize it. Did you say that your uncle was an entrepreneur and business for himself? Was that how he got the money? Yes. Is that the key thing?

Sorry. He did what we would call today, he was a carpenter is what we might call it today. But he did high-end finishing work, trim, cabinet making, and the like. If you had a banister or something like that that you really wanted to add some value to your home, that's the kind of work he did. And he was able to save up enough

money to get the thing that he absolutely wanted, even though the rule or the law or the statute was you can't do this where he lived. You can't go to this restaurant. One of the stupidest ideas, you can't get in the same swimming pool. Every economic decision where Jim Crow operated, it limited not just what was possible for black Americans, it limited what was possible for white Americans. And if you are a seamstress, you're trying to get as many dresses in orders as you possibly can. The government arbitrarily placed limits on this. And so today, we've changed the particular group. We are preferring the new racial winner isn't white America like it was in Jim Crow, but it is supposedly black America. And it has the same harmful effects.

That's right. Absolutely. the Jim Crow era and segregation, rigid segregation, it always makes me think, in entrepreneurship, it makes me think of the stories about the Jitney cabs and how you had the cab company said, we're not going to go in the black areas. We've got this Jim Crow stuff and segregation. We don't want to go there. And so you had entrepreneurs in the black area said,

well, we'll do an informal taxi thing. And so they set up these Jitney taxi services. And the response by the government in many of these areas was to come up with expensive taxi medallions. I started talking about this when we talked about the big competition between taxi drivers and then Uber and Lyft coming in. And they don't have to play by the same rules. And you've got a lot of people who are small, uh, business, individual business people. A lot of them were immigrants who came in, they took their money, they bought a taxi

medallion, and then it becomes obsolete because you've got these other people being given a monopoly, but they shut that down. But it shows the Jitney taxi thing shows a lot of different things. And one of those was just how vibrant the entrepreneurship was in the black community before they started just handing out money. That's one of the things that is just so amazing is what a paralyzing effect welfare can be and how they can use that to alter society. We see that happening all the time. Every program that Biden is putting out there, you talk about chains putting it on us. Look at all these different programs where he's going to provide free money for this

and free money for that. They're making everybody passive. We saw that in a big way as everybody was locked down and handed some cash in 2020, right? Everybody started getting passive. Well, we don't want to go back to work anymore, that type of thing. In America, this is a place where if you are willing to lean into work, if you are willing to take a little risk, if you're willing to show some unique creativity, this is the place

where all things are possible, except for this caveat. that this administration does not reward risk. This administration doesn't want to reward hard work. This administration doesn't want to reward effort. By the way, I don't know about you, when I grew up, my grandmother, I stayed a lot with my grandmother, especially during the summers, and my brother and I were expected to get up when the rooster crowed. And that sometimes was around 5 a.m. I'm a morning person now because of that. But there are lots of people and they go, oh, my gosh, that's hard. That's difficult.

So they didn't have a grandmother to help them. Well, we still need to get up early. My grandmother regularly said, it's work time. We had chores. We had activities. When people look at me, my friends and my colleagues, they say, well, that guy, he's a hard worker. I'm not a workaholic, but I'm a person that

understands if you want to make something happen, you have to work. The incentives put in place by the Biden administration say exactly the opposite. Don't strive. Don't make the effort. And when you don't strive and you don't make the effort, what you do is lose ground and you lose experience and you lose opportunities. And all of those things together encourage greater degrees of poverty. That's right. That's right. It always has been a part of the virtue going back to our Christian heritage. You look at the lazy man, you know, turns like a door on its hinge,

you know, one side or the other in his bed, doesn't get up, doesn't get to work. I was talking earlier in the program about Biden's fascination in terms of buying people who have college loans by forgiving their loans. But you put out just recently an op-ed piece for The Hill about the Supreme Court's decision about affirmative action. Tell us your take on that. Sure. So I point out in this most recent op-ed last month that the Supreme Court consistently, even with a so-called liberal majority or a left majority will not and has not ruled that it's okay for the government to single people out on the basis of race and give rewards or to give penalties.

What we see in this most recent ruling on affirmative action, a 6 ruling, that affirmative action violates this constitutional principle that the government may not do this. Guess what? Reparations does too. Now, the court has in cases involving prisons, involving professors, involving a number of various industries has reached out since the 1960s and said, government may not pick racial winners and losers.

Even the very first affirmative action case, which took place in California, that particular ruling, no majority of justices agreed that just picking people because they're black and giving them an advantage because of past injustice was constitutionally permissible. At no point has the court ever said this. The left tells black Americans, and we had this conversation just moments ago about incentives. What we're going to do is we're going to take the resources that other people have and we're going to give it to you to make up for past mistreatment. I will assert, as I do in my book, living as a Black person in America is to win the best lottery that has ever existed.

Black Americans have more freedom, more liberty, more opportunity by being Americans than any other minority anywhere else on the planet. Reparations is not just, is not constitutional, and the left teases people with this. I wrote this to make sure that Americans realize if they ever get a popular majority to support reparations, it will be found unconstitutional. Yeah, and it's also going to be impractical to administer. The amounts that they're talking about would bankrupt any state. California doesn't have the kind of money to put this out there. But it is designed, I'm sure it is designed to fail, because what it's really designed for is to create racial animus, to create resentment. Absolutely.

And it's designed to create chaos. It's the same type of thing that they're doing in terms of not punishing property crime and stuff like that in California. And encouraging this massive organized theft. It is another form of organized theft. But again, it's going to be a completely unjust system because how do we determine, depending on the color of somebody's skin, whether they had even had ancestors 160 years ago that were involved in that or are they a recent immigrant if they're white or if they're black?

As you had Angela Davis find out that she had, both her grandfathers were white and they had an ancestry that went back into slavery. And so she was horrified to find that out. But you're going to find that type of thing. So what does she get from that? Does she get half of the reparations? You're not going to be able to do this from a practical standpoint. So it's designed to fail. It's just designed to make people angry with each other. For the longest time, you've had people like Bill Ayers and other Marxists who said, we had class warfare in Europe to further communism.

We can't do that in America because, as you're talking about, Mr. Cooper, we had this idea, this understanding, hey, if I work hard, I can get ahead in America. So we didn't have that kind of class warfare that they could tap into. So they decided they would go with racial warfare. So they started with a white skin privilege and things like that. And so now this is just another wrinkle, I think, that's added to it. This weaponized chaos and weaponized race warfare is what they want to have, I think. So starting before the Civil War, the nation's oldest, in fact, the world's oldest political party decided that it was to their political advantage to weaponize race. And therefore, the Democrats refused, even though our country was founded on the premise that all men are created equal. It was to their political advantage that they weaponized race.

We had a civil war. More Americans lost their lives than any war that we would ever have. We resolved this. But within 40 years of the conclusion of the war, the left decided yet again, we must weaponize race for our own political ambitions. You know, the media and academia claims that the primary motivation behind, quote, racism is some Nazi-like idea of the racial superiority of one group or another. I will tell you, it's far more simple, simplistic. It will advantage us if we do X. So let's do X. It has been principled parties. The one political party started to end, the abolitionist party started to end slavery. The Republican Party, that throughout its history, has consistently upheld this idea. one group or disfavor another group because of their race. Rosa Parks wasn't mistreated because she was arrested for where she wanted to sit because of her race. She was mistreated because she's a citizen of these United States,

and this should never happen to any citizen. Today in the 21st century, one political party, the same one that has been tempted to operate to its political advantage on the basis of race, pushes now a new racism that, if adopted, helps bolster their ability to operate. This is a sickness that we need to call out. I agree. Yeah. You need to start calling the Democrat party, the demagogue party,

because this is just your demagoguery. I remember years ago, Walter Williams would substitute for Russian. I would hear them when I was driving and it was a pet peeve of Walter Williams. All of the, as you talk about, the Supreme Court decision about affirmative action, it was a pet peeve of his. He said, look, I earned this, but because of affirmative action, people assume that I was given what I earned in academia.

They assume that I was given that because of affirmative action, because of my skin color. And he goes, and that's a real affront to me. You know, he wanted merit and he wanted it to mean something. He didn't want set asides. There's so many facets of this that are just absolutely wrong. Talk a little bit about your take on the 1619 Project. What do you think about that and critical race theory in general?

So I have an entire chapter in the book on how Biden's adoption of the woke agenda harms black Americans. A couple of stats. California has set up a website where you type in your name and your information and potentially it will let you get a predicted outcome of what the reparations payments might be if you are michael jackson's children when he died was worth more than 900 million dollars not quite a billion but nearly 900 million dollars

if you're his children you can go on this website and you come from the most elite of the elite background on planet earth guess what you get multiple millions your this progeny gets multiple millions this is unjust this is unfair and as you point out it divides us the 1619 project starts with a lie about America, that but for its reliance on slavery, we would not have America today. That's a lie. It's not true. It is not supported. And the actual academic community says this isn't supported. Slavery pre-existed America. In fact, there's no recorded period of history where slavery did not exist. it is the West that has imposed no slavery on the whole rest of the world. It is remarkable that this slur about America has been allowed to occur, and it just further divides us. Yeah, you're absolutely right.

As a matter of fact, I've pointed that out many times in terms of talking about William Wilberforce. He was opposing it. First, the trade he was able to shut down, and just before he died, they paid for and freed slaves in Jamaica. And so that was his life's work, and he did it because he was a Christian. And that's one of the reasons why this is still being pushed back. We still have human trafficking.

We still have people being abducted in other countries. And so slavery has always been the human condition in one place or the other. The exception is when it was shut down, and it was shut down for those motivations because we saw people as created in the image of God and because we did not want to traffic in humanity. And so those were the things that, as you point out, are unique to what has happened. It's been pointed out that even the term slave comes from Slav because they were the ones who were most frequently enslaved going back to the Roman empire.

So a lot of people have said, Hey, I want to get my reparations, uh, from Italy because I was descended from Slavic people or something like that. I mean, it never ends when you go through this. And like I said, it was never, uh, it was never intended to be resolved. It's impossible to be resolved. We don't have the money. We don't have the genealogy to resolve this. And you've got a lot of the people who are pushing this, like Kamala Harris.

I call her Lala Harris because she's kind of in Lala land. But even, you know, she does this and her father brags about how they owned slaves in the Caribbean, you know, and then her mother is from India. So what do you do about that type of thing? It truly is just designed to create friction, chaos, and unrest, isn't it? It does. Now, APNORC, APNORC, they do a survey of Americans. Typically, people pay attention to it when we talk about the presidential horse race. But they do a survey every six months or so about just

America in general. And in the spring, when they did their survey, they asked specifically a subset of Black Americans or a group of minorities questions. And they were surprised to see that significant majorities of minority or Black Americans did not agree with the overall idea that the left pushes. They did not agree that structural racism explains the outcome of what happens in the country today. In fact, 61 to 39, they think hard work and effort make more of a difference. Quick point, LGBTQ has been the rage for the left. In this survey, nearly 75% of Blacks and other minorities think it should be a crime to allow your six, seven or eight year old child to be mutilated and turn into a gender other than the one that they have.

That is far higher than the results of America generally. But it points out that black America and other minorities are not following Kamala Harris and the agenda that she puts forward and that of the other wokesters. They don't buy them. They don't find them persuasive. I agree. And, of course, if they buy into this racial thing, they're going to find it's a bait and switch. And guess what? The next preferred group is going to be, as you just point out, LGBT. And that's not something that is supported by black people or by white people in the majority. Talk a little bit about the unemployment gap

that has grown, as you point out in your book, it's grown under Biden. So in my first book, how Trump is making Black America Great Again, I talked about the policies that Trump adopted that mirror those of the Coolidge years in the 1920s. Historians call the 20s the Roaring 20s. Black American men were more likely to be employed than any other group in America. I'll say that again. Black men during the 20s were more likely to be employed than any other Americans. Black men were the least likely to be in federal prison. Black children were more likely to be born in intact two-parent households than the population at large. All of that got destroyed by a change in the incentive structure where the government encourages you to marry it, a woman to marry the government, rather than her children.

Oh, that's a great way to put it. I love that. Encourage the black woman to marry the government instead of a man. That really does hit to the key part of this welfare program and really to the destruction of the family. I think you nailed it right there. Well, government is not a good father. Government does not provide great housing, doesn't provide great health care, doesn't provide great education. Government is probably the worst, worse than an alcoholic father would be for children. But during the Trump years, all of a sudden, the gap between whites and blacks narrowed, and we saw more progress, a greater increase in black unemployment during his presidency than we had seen in 75 years, even greater than the progress

that happened in black America during the Reagan years. Now let's turn to the Biden years. That gap is widening again. More Black Americans in the Trump years went on their first summer vacation. People forget that when Obama was president, the economy's management was so abysmal, we made up a new term. It was called staycation. I'm broke, but I've got time off, but I can't afford to go anywhere. We had a staycation. We set records for the first Black families that went on summer vacation. We set records for the number of Black Americans that for Thanksgiving flew or drove to see grandma. Guess what? We're doing the opposite now. Fewer Black Americans in the workforce, higher unemployment among Black Americans, fewer Black Americans getting their first pickup truck. In fact, the repo man is setting a record. Joe Biden

tells me the economy is wonderful. Black Americans beg to differ. Just like many other Americans, they have to look out and see if their vehicle is still there because the repo man has come to get it. That's what happens in a shrinking, terribly managed economy. Not a new vehicle, but the vehicle you have. And Bloomberg says that in July of 2023, the average age of a vehicle on the highways today is older than we've seen in 20 years. Oh, yeah. In just two and a half years, we managed to achieve this. That's right. Yeah, and they're going to get older if we can keep them running because he's going to ban the ones that really work and try to put everything on the grid as he shuts down the grid.

It is truly amazing. Yeah, take good care of your cars right now because you're not going to be able to find a new one to buy because they're going to stop manufacturing because of the bands put on them. Uh, you, you talk a little bit about, uh, Cornell West and some of your articles here. Yeah. I've seen a lot of, I've seen a lot of mainstream, uh, left-wing press, very concerned about a third party run, uh, by Cornell West and how it would damage Biden. Why is that? Why is he getting traction with the black community? So Joe Biden versus Barack Obama. Barack Obama got to get credit for being for blacks without having to say he was for blacks.

The Biden administration has tried as hard as it can to hide from the American people that it is, quote, pro-black. As you might imagine, Americans don't want there to be racial winners and losers. So he's come up with convoluted programs, such as this student loan bailout effort that he says to blacks is going to be a huge benefit because this is something the government owes you. Black Americans are far less likely to go to college than the population at large. So you're already not favoring blacks if you have a program like this.

When you talk about alternatives to Joe Biden, what you hear are those voices. In a case of a black professor by the name of Cornel West. I'm black, and you can trust that I'll be looking after black Americans. The black vote, as I mentioned in my book, is the key constituency for the Democrats. But I also mentioned this, that this is why I mentioned the AP Nork report. Black Americans voted and selected Joe Biden among all those other dwarves running in 2020 because they perceived him to be the most moderate. Amazing to find out that he isn't the most moderate. In fact, not much difference between him and Bernie Sanders.

And still, there has been no improvement in the lives of Black America. The we're not happy with you Biden vote is growing. And we like a candidate who will unabashedly represent us and not do so in an ashamed fashion. Last point I make in the book, the magic number is 85%. Democrats must get 85% of the black vote in order to remain viable. 94% of the vote in 2008 voted against John McCain and the Republicans. Every election since 2008, that number has shrunk. And in fact, in 2022, that number was 18% of Black Americans, excuse me, 14%, not 18%, 14% of Black Americans did not vote for the Democrats. And that single-handedly changed the House of Representatives makeup.

If you don't get the 85% in 2024, you put a state like New Jersey in play. You put a state like Illinois in play. You sweep away Pennsylvania. They absolutely need a minimum of 85%, but every year since 2008, that margin has shrank. And they're worried. They're right to be worried. What they don't understand is they absolutely must come back to the center unless they do that their prospects electorally are highly restricted yes it is interesting to

see what will happen and of course biden thinks that um it still thinks that that is his strength the black community is one of the reasons why he, uh, moved heaven and earth to try to get, uh, South Carolina moved up for the Democrats in terms of primaries before Iowa and New Hampshire. Uh, it'll be interesting to see what happens there because he doesn't have any competition really within the Democrat party, except for RFK Jr. I don't know how, uh, how he's going to poll with black people, but I imagine that, you know, if I imagine that if Biden is able to win in South Carolina, the primary, then he will use that as a sign that he is supported by the black community.

How is RFK Jr. doing in the polls with blacks? Are you aware of how he is viewed? So Mr. Kennedy has not been going in particular to urban constituencies, but interestingly, Cornel West is doing far better with the black vote than Joe Biden or Mr. Kennedy. However, when black Americans are asked, would you vote for Mr. Kennedy, they're not showing numbers that say they don't or refuse to do so. Right now, Mr. Trump is not popular with Black Americans, except for this. Some 15 to 20% of Black Americans say they will consider him as a candidate. That number gets you past the 85%. And so you wouldn't need to get a majority of the Black vote. You just need a critical number. Whether it's Mr. Kennedy, whether it's Mr. West,

Mr. Biden finds himself in trouble. And this is why they're working to stop Cornel West from getting on the ballot. They recently ran a poll in Michigan. And in Michigan, with Cornel West on the ballot, Donald Trump handily, well, handily, by two to three points, wins the state of Michigan. Wow. If you carry Michigan, it is going to be really hard for Joe Biden to figure out how to win around that.

Now, Cornel West is a pretty radical Marxist professor. Uh, what is, is he going to run as a green candidate? What, what is his, uh, idea that, and of course that's going to be the real issue. And that is ballot access. They've made it very difficult for any independent or third party candidates to get on outside of, uh, the Republicans and Democrats. Uh, what, and from a practical standpoint, what is Cornel West talking about besides race? And is he running as an independent or as part of some third party?

Well, I'm not really the expert on Mr. West. I will just tell you the talk in Washington when I was just there last month was that he's likely to run as the green candidate and all you have to do to get on the ballot in most states not every but in most states is to have been on the ballot in prior elections and the green candidates have been on the ballot in about 43 states over the last two elections so you get a lot of those. And Michigan is one of those states where that green candidate already gets to hold a spot. He's a Marxist. Because he speaks unabashedly about how he's going to help blacks, there are going to be some blacks that want to

support him. They're not the majority, but that's a critical constituency that Joe Biden needs to keep. And the other blacks who say, wait a second, I had this period where my nephew or my grandson moved out and got his own apartment. He's back. You know, my old boss, Dick Ermey, said the American dream isn't to own your own home. It's to get your kids out of it. Biden's policies, so we have more intergenerational living arrangements than we've seen, again, in 20 years. These consequences are fairly significant. That's interesting.

It's interesting that you used to work for Dick Armey as well. I won a contest with FreedomWorks when Dick Armey was running it. And Karen and I got to go up to Chicago when we won that contest. That's a great quote from Dick Armey. It's really funny. But, yeah, it is interesting to see how this is going to happen. As you point out, the ballot thing is very different from state to state. Some of them it's going to be grandfathered in.

Others it's going to be pretty impossible. But he doesn't have to get on the ballot in all 50 states to have a big impact against Joe Biden. As you point out, just taking away the magic 15% number of the black vote would be crippling to Biden in a general election. So that's interesting to look at. You talk a bit about... Sorry, go ahead. One thing, the sinister effect that our president has is very much like the sinister effect that Barack Obama had. No matter what you think, and I was not a fan of the takeover

of our health care system. I was not a fan of the you did not build that mindset, the taxes, all of those things. I was not a fan of. If you want to be president of the most powerful country, most influential country on planet Earth, and saying to them, look at me. In America, if you work, if you strive, you can do it. You know what he did instead? He downgraded America. He said America isn't fair. America isn't trying to give you a shot. So even though we could see with our eyes what was possible with America, he told us that simply wasn't true. Mr. Biden's policies do the same thing. My grandmother, thankfully, had not lived during the period of the presidencies of these two men. And she told me, way back in the 70s, you got to work harder.

You got to work smarter. You got to apply yourself. There is nothing that can hold you back. My grandmother and my mother, my grandparents, had a house that I can see out my window right now. They had nine kids with two bedrooms, one bathroom. Out of those nine kids, four of them ended up with advanced graduate degrees, seven of them graduated from college, and all of them ended up being productive members of society. That's because my grandfather and my grandmother said,

America is a place where if you apply yourself, if you make the effort, you can achieve. Mr. Biden's policies do exactly the opposite. I remember a world where my grandmother as a child, she knew that things weren't always fair. She knew that things weren't always just, but she believed her effort made all the difference in the world. I'm in high school. She takes her savings and she buys a house next to the house that I can see out my window that she paid cash for because that was to be her retirement home. Again, my great uncle paid cash for a car in the 1950s. Here it is, 1979, and my grandmother is paying cash for her new,

as she called it, her brick home. There is a world of difference between being taught that if you make the effort, if you strive, that in America, you can achieve amazing things versus a world where presidents tell us, America's not fair. America's unjust. Here, I'm going to give a little trinket here. I'm going to give a little trinket here. I'm going to give a little payment there, and it'll all be fine. That is a world in which Black kids are overwhelmingly graduating, not able to read the diplomas that they're handed on that day. That is a world where Black kids who fought for the right to be able to attend any school, regardless of their race, are increasingly simply not equipped to succeed in school.

That's right. That is a world where Black Americans are unemployed at a higher rate than the population at large, and that is a world where three quarters of black children are born outside of wedlock. We can change this, but we absolutely must walk away from policies that say we, as a society, need policies that pick racial winners and losers. I absolutely agree. And of course, you know, the same destruction that you've seen to the black community in terms of, you know, the welfare program and all the rest of these things, we're now seeing that being spread out to everybody.

As you pointed out at the very beginning, you know, your book is not just to the black people. It is to everyone because they're going to use these same they're using are using right now with dei they're using these same types of things to give people a sense of entitlement to take them away from reality as well as from merit uh so you know they're setting up this trap for everyone and of course the end game of this is universal basic income and smart cities but they're doing this to all different groups and so that's why it's key for people to see the history of this is universal basic income and smart cities, but they're doing this to all different groups. And so that's why it's key for people to see the history of this and understand the implication of these policies, because they're doing this to everybody. They want all of us,

y'all, to be slaves. They want you all to be slaves regardless. And they're going to use these same tactics that are tried and true as to what they've done to the black family, because already we see illegitimacy going up across the board and all of the same problems that they inculcated with their government as the father of the family and so forth. All of these things that they put in that's now being transferred to everyone across the board, regardless of demographics. Yeah. So I often remind people in presentations, Black Americans are the canary in the coal mine. Yeah. Odious experiments, which have been destructive, are not just going to be kept targeted at

Blacks. They're coming for you. The same disincentives that harm Blacks are going to be targeted to every group. Look at the affirmative action ruling. Asian Americans brought this to, they brought this litigation forward. My organization, Project 21, submitted an amicus brief urging the Supreme Court to do exactly what it ended up doing. I promise you that Asian Americans, which today embody the effort of striving, achieving through hard work and sacrifice. They're targeted. We must get you to disengage. White America is being targeted by the progressives to be the target, the group that's hated,

to be the group that's resented. They will not stop, however, until every group in America is equal, equally poor, equally uneducated, equally suffering. That's the goal. And it is not a, oh, wow, this is a conspiracy. It's not a conspiracy. The end result of autocratic control is misery for everyone. This isn't something unique. Everywhere it's been tried, this has occurred. I repeat what

I said at the beginning of this interview. Programs that attempt to favor specifically one racial group ends up hurting us all. How about a program or policy that simply says, work harder, be smarter, get the benefit of the risk you take? That would help every American. That's right. Yeah, you know, even going back to the time of Jefferson and other people, this is not a new philosophy of people appealing to one particular group of, you know, ethnic group or whatever, and appealing to them and saying,

you know, if we tear down the society, I'm going to put you at the top of society. At the time of Jefferson, they called these people levelers. Now they have called themselves socialists because, or communists because, oh, it sounds scientific or educated, what, you know, but they're levelers. I think a leveler is a better description of what these people want to do to our society. As you point out, they want everybody equal. They want everybody equal where you own nothing and you have nothing and you have no way to get out of this slavery. And I think a good example of this and how this has escalated, Mr. Cooper, is how you look at the direct attacks now on the family. You know,

they made the attacks, as we can see, the end result, whether that was their design or not, we can argue about that. But regardless of whether that was their design, the welfare state attacked the family, but now they are directly attacking the family through the DEI, through the LGBT, through the educational institutions. That is directly the target, and of course we know that they want to be the only thing that anybody is attached to. The family must be the state, and the state must replace the family. I think that is really where we're headed. What do you think? Well, it's no surprise that BLM, one of the biggest grifter organizations in America,

had on their website that the destruction of the nuclear family was one of their stated objectives. You see, it turns out the way our creator made us, those that we create ourselves, the children that we bring forth, we feel a duty, a natural, an innate duty to protect them, to prevent them from being harmed, to feed them feed them hold them we do that better than the department of education we do that better than hhs in fact look at go to detroit go to philadelphia go to chicago and see where the government i agree yeah did we lose him what you'll sorry it's devastation they cut out for a moment there and see where the government... I agree. Did we lose him?

We lost his devastation. It cut out for a moment there. I thought we'd lost you. But before we end the interview here, I just want to read a comment from a listener on Rumble. And thank you for the tip, Katiana. She says, Reparations would also apply to the deaf community who were oppressed by Alexander Graham Bell,

who lobbied for legislation to ban sign language and force them to read lips and speak. I mean, we've had situations again, you know, when you look at propagating injustice, it never ends. Everybody's got agreements about something, but this is really weaponized social engineering without a doubt. And it's a new level that they have taken this to. And before you go, let's talk a little bit. We've got about only about three minutes. Tell us a little bit about Project 21. You were the chairman of that. And I didn't mention that at the very beginning of the interview.

You also taught constitutional law at George Mason University, and you were a senior counselor to House Majority Leader Dick Armey, as you pointed out there. But tell us a little bit about Project 21. Project 21 is a membership group made up of black Americans who come from that vibrant portion of black America that has existed since the slavery period. There has always been this robust argument. Do we need more government or do we need more self-started activity and community? That used to be the majority of Black America. It is still now a good 35 to 45 percent of black America. We promote strong families. We promote hard work. We believe that we need more self-government, and that includes the freedom of individuals to make

choices about themselves. If you think that the world is bigoted, and if you think that the world is racist, there used to be a very, very vibrant argument that said, okay, then you should be the best mechanic that you could possibly be, because that'll overcome people's bigotry and hostility toward you. The left says, don't try, don't even make the effort. The other point that we have is that we make sure that we are in the media so that this mindset that actually is very vibrant within Black America gets a chance to speak out. And so most of our members are asked to regularly show up at community settings and share the kinds of views. We don't give them talking points. To share the kinds of views that have always existed within black America. Asking people to remember, you got set free and freedom comes with it. Many, many amazing opportunities.

Let's not ever forget that. Oh, yeah, that's very important. As a matter of fact, when I look at this, we were talking about the focus on the black community by people like Bill Ayers, a white elitist, if ever there was somebody. The Marxists have focused on the black community because they feel like they're going to be their useful

tools to overcome the society. And just as we saw them, they would never push in Europe, start your own business and try to have upward economic mobility. They put out that same message of despair to the black community today. And so it's so good to hear you putting out exactly the opposite. Horace Cooper, and he is, besides all these other things, he is the author of the book, They Want to Put Y'allall in chains. Thank you so much.
