As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday, the 17th of May, year of our Lord, 2024. Well, today we're going to take a look at a lot of different issues that we have here. We have some constitutional issues, some court decisions that have come down on a variety of subjects.

We have an Australian, originally from Canada, says we don't need a Bill of Rights. They didn't help anybody in 2020. And so we're going to talk about that. What is the difference between rights and privileges and entitlements? And how do we do this? Can we do it through the court systems? The guy's a lawyer. He's like, the courts didn't work. Well, yeah, that's right.

They don't usually work. But there's other methods that he's missing out on. We'll talk about that as well. Artificial intelligence. We keep getting these clips of this Mary Sue voice. We're going to show you some more of this stuff. Pharmaceutical stuff, some very important things. We now see the establishment mainstream media, these people like Cuomo and Tucker,

telling you a little bit of what I told you four years ago. But we've also got something to tell you now to do, perhaps that might help with some of these blood clots. We'll be right back. Let's begin with the news. And we see in Austin, Texas, we had Governor Abbott pardoned a man who had been sentenced to death in a shooting around Black Lives Matters protests back in 2020. Now, what I find most interesting about this is the fact that we have a Soros district attorney there in Austin who is out for blood. I mean, when you contrast this to the Soros district attorneys who just let everybody out that the police arrest shoplifting, no problem.

Violent crime, no problem. Murder, no problem. Yeah. Immigrants commit murder, rape, no problem. But if it is somebody they don't like politically, they will go to the mat to punish them. And that's what we see here. I think, quite frankly, I haven't looked at the details of it. But that is my general feeling there.

Just looking at it from a distance. Daniel Perry, a former Army Sergeant, convicted of killing a Black Lives Matter protester in downtown Austin in 2020, was freed from prison yesterday within an hour of governor Abbott signing a pardon proclamation so you have this political battle on the right you have Abbott on the left you've got the Soros district attorney who can gets a conviction with the jury there and of course you know we talk about the justice system all the time, how these judges can rig the stuff. They can exclude evidence. And, you know, the juries, you were just talking about it yesterday with the Gretchen Whitmer

kidnap and kill FBI entrapment case. So, yeah, when you look at this, I just don't have any confidence in our so-called justice system anymore. It's one of the reasons why I said for the longest time, I support in principle, the death penalty for certain crimes. But in practice, I don't believe that you can get a fair trial in America anymore. It really is amazing.

Anyway, in a series of rapid fire developments in less than two hours span, the Texas board of pardons and paroles recommended that he be pardoned on the murder conviction. Abbott then granted the full pardon to him, leading to his release about 20 miles south of downtown Houston. In July of 2020, we had the mostly peaceful protests and cities burning. Perry shot and killed Garrett Foster, who was white, who was white after driving into a racial justice protest on Congress Avenue. I remember at the time that he said that,

um, he didn't realize what was happening there. Congress Avenue is, uh, uh, really a main street. Uh, I have,

I tried to avoid downtown Austin because, um, I would drive down Congress Boulevard and I would come across some kind of a costume party or something and didn't want to see that. Can you imagine what the costume parties are like in 6th Street, Congress Avenue and other places like that? Anyway, Perry claimed that he shot Foster, who was carrying an AK-47 rifle in self-defense. The guy, he pulls down the the road the road is completely blocked it's like you know that's what he said and then this guy carrying an ak-47 starts walking towards his car and he was waving his arms uh to tell him to roll the window down said some people he said he interpreted that as a threat that it wasn't telling him to roll his

window down, but that he's pointing a rifle at him. That's the points of disagreement. Texas has one of the strongest stand-your-ground laws of self-defense. It cannot be nullified by a jury, cannot be nullified by a progressive district attorney, said Governor Abbott in a statement. In a proclamation made on Thursday, Abbott took aim at Travis County District Attorney Jose Garza, the Soros District Attorney, writing that Garza, quote, demonstrated unethical and biased misuse of his office in prosecuting Daniel Scott Perry.

I'm inclined, because of political, to think that this is purely along political lines that this Soros prosecutor did this shortly after Abbott's announcement, a state district judge unsealed court records that contained Perry's previously unreleased messages and social media posts, which contained racist rhetoric. Uh, well, uh, perhaps you ought to take a look at some of the people on the Black Lives Matter protest. Do you think if you went back and looked at their social media, you would find racist rhetoric? Yeah, if you have an even-handed definition of racism,

if it includes hatred of people because of their skin color, and you don't exclude it if they hate people of white skin color, you probably find it all over the place in the Black Lives Matter issue issue so i don't know that that is anything that indicates uh guilt any more so than um you know if you went back and looked at the uh profiles of these people who are carrying guns maybe as part of this protest maybe they had that as well uh so uh we've also had the supreme court come in and rule on the consumer financial protection bureau now this is um perhaps our most recently created bureaucracy as part of the executive branch this is something came in the frank dodd uh act but it was heavily pushed by elizabeth warren

it really is her baby and if you recall and it was it was pretty new because it was heavily pushed by elizabeth warren it really is her baby and if you recall and it was it was pretty new because it was during the trump administration that you had the first administrator was going to step down and they just decided that the uh second in command there at that bureaucracy was going to assume his post and trump said no i will appoint that he said no you don't we appoint ourselves and that's how arrogant and independent they are even of the executive branch but they also have arrogance and independence of the congressional branch as well the legislative branch because they're not funded by the legislative branch the way they set this thing up was to have it funded by the Federal Reserve. And that was the issue.

As this Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is not really protecting consumers at all. What it is doing is protecting the big guys. We've seen the CFPB put in additional paperwork, for example, after the, you know, supposed to be there to protect people from the, um, uh, from the financial speculation that caused the housing meltdown. Well, if you want to do that, what you do is you go back and you install glass Stiegel again, and you don't allow them to put in things like the securitized mortgages that they made up. Sorry, you're not going to do that. You're not going to block that.

But instead, what they did was they put in a whole bunch of rules, extra paperwork for banks to do. So much paperwork that small and medium-sized banks just had to get out of a lot of these loans. And so you had a lot of small and medium-sized banks that helped to accelerate their failure, regulating them to death. You know, you can, we have to get this on tape, you know, that I can show it, because I talk about regulation all the time.

There's this scene, again, at the end of Brazil. I know I talk about it all the time, but it's some pretty amazing visuals in it from terry gilliam there's a scene at the very end of the movie where this guy uh is uh escapes from the the government but as he's going down the sidewalk a piece of paper blows up and blows by and sticks on him right and then another piece of paper and another piece of paper and all of a sudden and nobody else is being affected on the sidewalk all of a sudden he's got he's covered with paper and he can't even walk. He just falls down. That's the government.

That's the government's regulatory issues. Regulation, by the way, without representation. That's coming from these bureaucracies. They're the ones blowing all of this paperwork and rules at us. That is literally smothering and killing us and so that's what the consumer financial protection bureau has done rather than putting in some kind of fiscal responsibility and some things like that instead of breaking up some of these big banks that were created by the clinton merger approvals they go in and attack the small and medium-sized banks.

And so the Supreme Court was, as part of this case, a couple of groups that were attacked by the CFPB filed a case and said, we don't think you're constitutional. Now, of course, they're not constitutional. There's no authority given in the constitution for there be anything like a consumer financial protection bureau there is no power expressly given to the um to the federal government to protect consumers nothing nothing as evidenced by the fact that we went a couple hundred years or more without having it right so um the uh the reality is that there's no constitutional authority for the cfpb period according to the plain reading of the 10th amendment you don't

have these powers unless they are expressly given to you there's nothing expressly given to the government under consumer financial protection bureau and so the um it's it's prima facie unconstitutional but let's just forget about that because uh the supreme court always forgets about that they always forget the 10th amendment was that in there i didn't i thought it was just you know i didn't think that was in there anyway um the court ruled seven to two and the interesting thing is that the two people who got it right were alito who i'm gonna have to reassess uh who i think the best uh or least dangerous supreme court justice is i think it's probably alito now clarence thomas wrote this opinion

uh saying that they're constitutional it's like no way are they constitutional thomas but alito uh along with gorsuch, had an issue with it. All the rest of the seven of them were on board. Court Rule 72 that the funding scheme, that's a good way to put it, funding scheme, that's the way the Daily Signal put it, the funding scheme for the CFPB does not violate the Constitution's Appropriations Clause, which forbids the executive branch from taking money from the federal treasury except in consequence of appropriations made

by law. Now, see, this is interesting because they're getting funded by the Federal Reserve, which itself there is no constitutional authority for. And hopefully, uh, Massey will introduce a bill to, to stop it. He put a poll out on, on a Twitter. Um, I didn't see it. I didn't vote on it, but I think, um, uh, guard Goldsmith retweeted. And I think I saw that. So I retweeted the results.

Um, something like 85% of the people said, yes, put out a bill to end the fed. You know, another one, others said, you know, just, uh, just talk about it, make it clear or whatever, but out a bill to end the fed you know another one others said you know just uh just talk about it make it clear whatever but no we should end the fed uh but the money for it is not coming from the treasury because remember the federal reserve is this independent thing it's not a government organization not federal there's no reserves um and so it's this independent thing which makes it all this really ridiculous. I mean, there is no foundation in this stuff. These guys are just floating in space, throwing stuff around.

And under the Appropriations Clause, an appropriation is simply a law that authorizes expenditures from a specified source of public money for designated purposes, said Clarence Thomas. Does Clarence Thomas not realize that the Federal Reserve is not public? It's private? That it's not federal? Does he not realize that? Seriously? And so he said, in the majority opinion that he wrote, the statute that provides the bureau's funding meets these

requirements we therefore conclude that the bureau's funding mechanism does not violate the appropriations clause so it says just all the appropriation thing means is that you just authorize money to come from somewhere anywhere uh but it is the only one of these bureaucracies and so i'm saying this is the trend that we see the progressive tyranny the progressive nullification of the constitution by what they do and this is yet another big step in it you know the way that they have created this agency to operate independently and to be funded independently. Unlike most federal agencies, the Bureau does not have to petition Congress for funding annually because Congress authorized the Bureau to draw funds from the Federal Reserve.

This insulates the Bureau from a normal process that allows Congress to check the administrative agencies under the executive branch by refusing to fund them. Remember Thomas Massey said when he was talking about this omnibus shenanigans that were being done by Speaker Johnson. He said, well, they pretend that there's nothing that we can do. And we have these hearings, you know, by, he didn't talk about Jim Jordan the way I do. But, you know, Jim Jordan holds these baloney hearings. And, you know, they say, well, there's nothing we can do. And they put this big omnibus bill in that funds everything

all at once and then drop it with no time for people, not even 72 hours for people to read these giant fund everything in the government bill. And so from a practical standpoint, it doesn't really matter because they don't really consider these agencies one by one anyway. That's the game created by Pelosi. That's the game that Johnson loves. He brought it back on steroids after they had pulled a little bit of that back as a condition for McCarthy to be speaker. But Scalia had said to Massey and some other congressmen years ago, he said, you guys are always saying, why don't we do this? He says, you realize your superpower is your spin.

You control the purse. That's what you can do. Well, they don't use that, right? Because they create these omnibus bills. And now the way that the CFPB was created, they're grabbing as much money as they want from the Federal Reserve. And so Samuel Leto and Neil Gorsuch, Leto cited English and American history, noting that Congress's power of the purse dates back to debates in England.

And he said, and again, this is another is another reason folks why we need to uh end this idea of judicial supremacy but we can't get congress to do anything they won't do anything and the federal government is hopelessly corrupt too far gone you're never going to pull it back never ever going to pull this thing back you got to fight it at the local level the more local the better the more you've got a chance he quoted it as part of his counter opinion alito said in england parliament had won the power over the purse only after centuries of struggle with the crown steeped in english constitutional history the framers placed the appropriations clause in the constitution to protect this hard won legislative power. Scalia would have agreed.

This provision has a rich history extending back centuries before the founding of our country. He added of the appropriations clause. He said its aim is to ensure that the public, that the people elected representatives monitor and control the expenditure of public funds and the projects that they finance. And it imposes on Congress an important duty that it cannot sign away, but Congress has abdicated all of its authority. Again, they don't write laws. They create and fund agencies that create rules, and those rules, they pretend, are

civil, not criminal. That we have no presumption of innocence. We have no due process. We have no trial by jury. We have no protection against excessive fines. You understand, and we'll talk about this when we get to the Bill of Rights, the clear principles that are there. We need to understand, and we need to stand against these tricks and devices.

They're creating these different types of things in the same way the banking industry created securitized mortgages, right? They're constantly coming up with schemes, schemes to subvert and get around the rule of law and the clear rules that are there. Thomas, or rather Alito, said, unfortunately, today's decision turns the appropriations clause into a minor vestige. The court upholds a novel statutory scheme under which the powerful Consumer Financial Protection Bureau may bankroll its own agenda without any congressional control or oversight. Under this interpretation, the clause imposes no temporal limit that would prevent Congress from authorizing the executive to spend public funds in perpetuity. There's no time limit to it.

There's no financial limit to it. There's no time limit to it. Ronald Reagan said the closest you get to eternal life on this earth is federal bureaucracy, right? The justice side of the French philosopher Baron de Montesquieu, whose pivotal work, The Spirit of Laws, informed the U.S. Constitution. Montesquieu warned that a legislature will lose its power of the purse if it passes appropriations that last forever. And that's what they do with the omnibus bill.

And that's what they do with this, right? They don't even look with the omnibus bill. They don't even look at individual agencies, right? But here, they're not even, you know, they don't have to bother with it. Why did that happen? Well, because it's just another one of these duties that Congress doesn't want. They want to do show trials. They want to do show hearings.

They want to pass legislation that's going to benefit the people who give them money. They want to hand out money to foreign governments, hand out money to the military industrial complex for wars. They don't want to get involved in laws or any of the things that are their rightful duty. Though Alito also noted the court's interpretation does not require Congress to set an upper limit on the amount of money that the executive may take. He also cited the federal government's argument that an agency may draw funds from private sources as well from the treasury.

He said, in short, there's apparently nothing wrong with a law that empowers the executive to draw as much money as it wants from an unidentified source for any permissible purpose until the end of time. The only thing I would disagree with that about is that it's a permissible purpose. The entire purpose of the Consumer Financial Protection Board is not permissible under the 10th Amendment. Thomas disagreed, citing Congress's schemes, schemes for funding the Customs Service and the U.S. Postal Service. By the way,

are those constitutional? Just because they're there, does that mean that they're therefore constitutional? The U.S. postal system, yeah, it is established there, but they had to have additional laws put in to protect them from private competition. One man, Lysander Spooner, one man nearly shut them down because they were so gross and inefficient in their operation. In 2017, the Bureau issued stringent restrictions on small dollar loans. This is the Consumer Financial Protection Board. And leading two trade organizations to sue on constitutional grounds. You see, that's exactly what I was talking about.

First, they put out of business a lot of banks. And now they're looking at, you know, small dollar loans. Very stringent restrictions. So much red tape that they can't profitably make these loans. A district court upheld the Bureau's claim, but the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit found in favor of the associations. So it went to the Supreme Court.

And Competitive Enterprise Institute said, sadly, we can expect future Congresses to come up with even more inventive ways to allow the executive branch to fund its whims and for them to avoid doing their duty and having any responsibility for what they do. It's all about avoiding responsibility. to avoid doing their duty and having any responsibility for what they do. It's all about avoiding responsibility. Increasingly, even the executive branch under Trump, for example, under DACA. Well, I can't do anything about DACA. I guess you can.

It was an executive order by the previous president said, we're not going to enforce the law. Oh, I can't do anything about that. I, I can't do anything about the Paris climate accord. I can't do anything about this other thing. Oh, but I can ban do anything about that. I can't do anything about the Paris Climate Accord. I can't do anything about this other thing. Oh, but I can ban guns by executive order. Yeah, that was Trump. The only hope for responsible government is for Congress to rediscover its own prerogatives

and to repeal unusual funding mechanisms for executive agencies. No, I think we need to rediscover the 10th Amendment. I think we need to stop the omnibus bills. And I think we need to focus our attention on state and local issues. That's the reality. And so when we look at what else is happening in Washington, there is now a move, which I, you know, this has been developing for some time and i've talked about this before a move for the federal government to try to save face on the drug war because we now have over 40 of the 50 states have legalized marijuana in one way or the other and yet marijuana has been the key thing that the dea has made the centerpiece of its war on drugs.

And yet that has been nullified by 40 of the 50 states, 80%. And so it is something that the federal government is trying to save face on. In the same way that Jeff Sessions, who was absolutely determined to shut down marijuana. He tried everything that he could except a direct confrontation. He would do it around, you know, in an underhanded way, pushing the continuation of civil asset forfeiture, turning sheriff departments like the San Bernardino Sheriff's Department into literal armed car robbers and thieves as part of the civil asset forfeiture stuff but um the by demonstration is trying to think this is going to help them get votes and uh but there's other interests as well i mean we look at john boehner when he was speaker of the house i am unalterably opposed to marijuana in any way shape or form except after he got out of being the speaker it's like hey bro you want to buy a joint he got on the board of a big marijuana

company and the next thing he said after that was when he was speaker he was unalterably opposed to marijuana then when he was no longer speaker he he said, quote, I'm all in on the cannabis industry. Yeah, it's all about the money, isn't it? But what is happening right now is that the FDA is fighting the DEA on this essentially. So they're trying to change its schedule one classification to a schedule three classification. And here's the difference. A schedule one drug is said to be highly addictive and has no medical benefits. That'd be things like heroin and LSD. A schedule three drug would be moderate to low potential for physical and psychological

dependence. So they want to change it to that. And it's going to be a huge difference in terms of penalties there. Let me just, before we move on from the scheduling stuff, where did these schedules come from? Was this created with Richard Nixon when he declared a war on drugs?

No, no. It was actually the UN that created these things. This is a UN agenda, just like the 2030 agenda, the smart cities or something else. Maybe you change the way that you think about the war on drugs, about the unconstitutional prohibition of drugs. Look, I don't use drugs. I don't suggest anybody use drugs.

I am opposed to it. It is a spiritual problem, though. And what we have done with prohibition is to create all kinds of corruption and legal problems and destruction of the Constitution. That's what the UN wanted. And that's what we're accepting with this failed strategy. It's failed for 50 years. But the other important legal aspect of this is for us to see, especially because whenever you start talking about nullifying the federal government, immediately you've got all these Democrat-run states. You're talking about a civil war. You're going to nullify the government. You're talking about a civil war. No, nullification is exactly what they have done for the most part.

It was led by the Democrat states nullification is the peaceful alternative to a civil war and it's what they did with marijuana and so that's why this is very important now the politics of all this and the inter rivalries and the power grabbing and grasping and trying to hang on to it that we see happening with the DEA. You know, that is also instructive as well, because even though the FDA and HHS is pushing to legalize this, the DEA loves this war on drugs. That's a lot of power. Oh, well, I've got this power, right? They don't want to let go of that.

It's a fiefdom that they have and so um the justice department uh is um because of biden and because of politics is now criticizing the dea's wanting to hold on to this schedule one classification look in texas where they don't have uh recreational or medical marijuana legal there is still an exception that was put in by one of the people that i met with the highest integrity state uh state legislator uh that put this in and um he um he put in an exception for children who have seizures and uh and they were getting the seizures by the way from the vaccines and he got an exception put in even though medical marijuana is not legal they made that one exception uh because of uh david simpson that's not his name i think i think it's david simpson

um he's no longer in the legislature unfortunately he. He was a great guy, led a lot of really good movements. So the interesting thing, this is where the plot thickens. The proposal is coming from HHS, okay, which is above the FDA. So the FDA says, yeah, we're looking at this, and it should be a Schedule III drug. Medically, we say it should be a schedule three drug. And then, uh, that's they're under the HHS, right? It is the HHS assistant secretary for health.

They recommended that the DEA should place marijuana schedule three back in August of 2023. Who is the HHSs assistant secretary of for help none other than dick divine the guy who calls himself rachel levine who walks around in a dress you know woman of the year this is crazy i'll tell you what you know an illegal prohibition that has failed in every regard and corrupted our government and gone on for 50 years. And here we got a tranny that's fighting with the DEA cops who don't want to get rid of their unconstitutional power and authority.

It's just Washington is a mess, folks. You're not going to fix this mess. It is truly amazing. If marijuana's classification were to ease at the federal level, cannabis companies like John Boehner's, former Speaker of the House, could reap significant benefits, such as being eligible for listing on major stock exchanges and to get generous tax deductions. All about the money, isn't it? That's what it's really about. Well, we're going to take a quick break. When we come back, I want to talk about this interesting article on the Daily Skeptic out of the UK. It was written by a writer who lives in Australia now.

He's originally Canadian. And he says, don't be fooled by the Bill of Rights. They fail to stop lockdowns everywhere. And they're just tools of leftist judicial activism well i've got some disagreements with that and we'll talk about them when they come back is the constitution just a piece of paper as george w bush is alleged to have said uh well in some respects yes in other respects no michelle obama thank you very much for the tip. Uh, it was great week.

David, uh, the guests this week were the best ever. Well, thank you very much. I appreciate that. Um, Michelle Obama. Uh, thank you for the tip. Um, also a second one. We appoint ourselves. Quote of the week.

We appoint ourselves. That's right. Uh, if we have more than one unconstitutional bureaucracy, then they set precedent for each other, and you can't get rid of any of them, says my son. Yeah, exactly right. Exactly right. Octospoop.

Our courts have been compromised. Justice is stacked against the innocent. Juries are stacked with those who mindlessly support criminal courts and prosecutors. That's right. And if you understand what it's about, if you understand how important juries are and what their real power is, that is to judge not just the facts of the case, but the law itself, as well as the justice of a punishment that might be meted out,

then they throw you off the jury. So you have to be very careful if you get on a jury and you understand that how you roll that out um the uh yeah regarding the guy having racist comments on social media octo spook says guilty of free speech yeah and again i think it would go both ways with any of this stuff. Um, guard Goldsmith. Good to see. He says that CFPB decision is jaw dropping. Sure. It certainly is.

Michelle Obama. And again, I can't believe that they appoint each other on our dimes. That's right. Um, and so, um, speaker Joe two says a problem with the constitution is it requires an educated moral people to work.

We now have neither. My son says you can think the government schools for both of those problems, not moral, not educated. Um, by the way, uh, Travis has, uh, got the day off and my other son is doing this today. So appreciate it. Uh, uh, Texas JFK mindset. I am curious on Knight's view of MTG.

I see a strong fighter in her actions, but is this another dog and pony show actor? Um, it's hard to say, you know, that's kind of judging her motivations. And, you know, I've seen some indications of some, you know, political ego stuff there for sure. She's done some good stuff. She's done some things that I disagree with. I like the fact that she stood against Johnson. I think he's absolutely and totally wrong. He should have been stood against. Thomas Massey also took the stand. There's two of them.

Thomas Massey is the person that I think has the most integrity in Congress. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. Thank you. Succes! Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show. All right. Again, the headline that I read to you. Don't be fooled by a bill of rights. They fail to stop lockdowns everywhere.

They're just tools of leftist judicial activism. This is on Daily Skeptic. It's by Dr. James Allen, who himself is a lawyer. And I believe he teaches law as well. So he's fed up with the system. By the way, we agree on that. And the other thing that we agree with is that this is not just an academic exercise. This has real consequences, as we saw in 2020 and have continued to see.

We need to understand what kind of tactics we're going to use to fight back. And we have to understand what our foundation is. And from that standpoint, I think it's really key for us to understand the difference between raw power and authority. And I'm surprised that somebody who is a lawyer doesn't understand that difference. You see, it gives us a moral and legal and rallying high ground to have authority on our side. And that's the purpose of these Bill of Rights. Yes, I know they're ignored.

I know the Constitution is ignored. But the Constitution remains. And they have all sworn allegiance to it as a condition of office. And let me use a Lord of the Rings analogy. These people are the unfaithful stewards of Gondor, you know, that other White House. And they have sworn allegiance to the king. The king is the Constitution, not any individual,

not the president, the Constitution. Lex Rex is king. And so they have sworn allegiance to that king. And they have acted as unfaithful stewards, which means that they have no authority. And that's what is very important. That is the key issue. That foundation is a foundation not only for us to be on the morally right side of things. And that's really key.

I know that a lot of it may be old-fashioned and corny to think about moral authority or legal authority. But, folks, it really makes a difference. I think subconsciously, even when we talk about a just war, I think when you go into a war and and you are the aggressor i think it it really kind of undermines everything that you're doing right the soldiers know it the public knows it the politicians know it everybody fundamentally understands that our cause is not fundamentally just you You have a situation like World War II, and again, it is, I know that FDR invited it.

I know he stood down. But it was still Japan that did it. It was still Japan that attacked first. And it gave a moral conviction, authority, backbone, whatever you want to talk about. They gave that conviction and authority to the generation that stood up against that. And that kind of thing was not there with World War I and with most of the wars that we've been involved in, even before and after after but i think it's very important for us to have that moral authority and i think when you don't have it everybody senses it it's

like yeah but you know okay i'm in it and i'm fighting in this now to save my life you know we're invested in this thing but it really does help to have the moral authority in all of this. He says, um, this is Dr. James Allen, uh, on daily skeptic. As readers will know,

I was a huge and vocal opponent, a lockdown thuggery and the authoritarianism of the COVID two and a half years, more than a few fellow anti lockdowners asked me if a bill of rights would have helped. My unequivocal answer was no and um you know when we look at this people in australia got it rougher than we did because they pushed back more than we did we really didn't push back much in america and people in canada pushed back more than we did. And I think part of it is because we look at individualism and individual rights,

and we are almost too individual in it. I heard G. Edward Griffin said we have to learn, as people who love individual liberty, that we have to work and fight collectively for individual liberty. It's what we talk about with preparation all the time as well. When you look at civildefensemanual.com, one of the things that Jack Lawson stresses in it is, there's a lot of stuff that you need to do, skills that you need to learn, food preparation and stuff like that,

but one of the key things is to understand that you're not going to survive this 100% alone. So how do you make alliances with other people? And how do you do it in a way that doesn't get you entrapped by the FBI? That's also very key, as we saw with the Gretchen Whitmer situation as well. And so you have to work together for individual liberty, individual survival. You have to do that collectively by the way get a hold of that that's at civildefensemanual.com he says going back to this author in australia he said we've just lived through the biggest experiment in protecting or not protecting

civil liberties ever lockdowns imposed what retired UK Supreme Court Judge Lord Sumption called, quote, the biggest inroads on our civil liberties in 300 years. Absolutely. And guess what? Trump is a globalist. And I can prove it in one word. Lockdown. Lockdown.

Lockdown was, if Trump's not a globalistist if he's the anti-globalist and why was he doing everything the globalists like trudeau and the rest of them were doing at exactly the same time and why was he doing it iteratively step by step progressively and why did he fund it trump is a globalist he even created the vaccine that went everywhere absolutely amazing yeah you know like this thing you know a hope for a brighter tomorrow yeah there he is uh donald uh giving those um out to people anyway um so, he goes on to say biggest, uh, inroads in our civil liberties in 300 years and how many democracies had judges who did anything to push back zero. Yeah. This is why, uh, we need to end judicial supremacy and it's why we need to also double down on that forgotten aspect of our government, which is the federalized system, the decentralization of power, the checks and balances, what is not delegated specifically to the federal government.

Those powers are retained by the state and by the people. He says, you can't point to a single case anywhere in the democratic world of judges invoking one to roll back or to limit the lockdown thuggery and authoritarianism, not in the U S with its potent and entrenched bill of rights, not in my native Canada with this even more potent and entrenched bill of rights, not in my native Canada, with this even more potent and entrenched bill of rights. And he says, and not in Britain with its powerful statutory version of a bill of rights.

He said there were only two cases in the world, one in Scotland and one in the U.S. where the court said, in effect, if that big box store gets to open, then so does this church. He said these were wins, but not Bill of Rights wins. He said second point, he said, before I end that one, let me just say, where do we have our victories? Not in courts. He's absolutely right. Not in courts. He's absolutely right. Not in courts. Courts were useless.

We had our victories with sheriffs that were local, with town councils that were local, local elected officials who would stand in the gap. That's where we had our victories. Again, the decentralization, that local approach. The way you stop globalism is locally. Second point, he says all post world war two countries with bill of rights, ones that were entrenched or enacted in the last half century or less. In other words, um, you know, if they just recently got a bill of rights, he said, they're also going to include equality type of rights. Equity, right? That's what he's talking about, this equity stuff.

These virtually always are held to trump the free speech and the religious liberty rights of others. So we got this equity thing, right? Gender equity and other things like that. So that's going to trump your religious rights. It's going to trump your free speech. Oh, that's hateful what you said about this stuff. We got the diversity, equity, inclusivity stuff. And he says, and that's entrenched in all the recently done Bill of Rights. He says, you're going to end up with judges who copy the EU and Canada and Britain,

not the U.S.'s Bill of Rights. And by the way, that's what Johnson just did, you know. What Johnson just did, classically described here, is he trashed our free speech rights and our religious rights with this Anti-Semitism Awareness Act. If you hurt the feelings of Jewish people, if you talk about what your Bible teaches, well, then, you know, we're going to punish you.

And that was put in there by a guy who puts himself forward as a conservative Christian. I think Johnson is far more dangerous even than Trump because he's far more subversive and deceptive than even Trump. But I think people are starting to see what he's about as well. Thirdly, when you buy a Bill of Rights, you're simply buying the views of unelected judges, because Bill of Rights deal in amorphous, loosely articulated entitlements.

We have a right to free speech. We have freedom of assembly and so on. Well, again, this is something else that he doesn't understand, I think. We talked about before. He doesn't understand the difference between raw, unauthorized power and authority, true authority, and the rule of law. Those are big differences. We want the rule of law on our side. We want the authority on our side.

We want to expose these people who are tyrants. You start by exposing them saying, you're a liar. You swore to uphold the Constitution, and you're doing exactly the opposite, Johnson. And so that's important. But it's also important to understand that rights are not privileges. See, this is something that you know i guess as a canadian or australian he doesn't really understand that the reason we have what we have in the constitution is because our rights come from god it's because of the declaration of

independence uh statements our rights come from god if they are entitlements if they are privileges that means that they're granted by the government and that's what he's complaining about well you know you've got these rights that are given to you by judges and no they're not entitlements that they they come from god and again we're not going to win this fight unless we got people who have backbones of steel because they are following god and they know they're doing the right thing. And, you know, they would rather fall than flee. They don't care. It's like, yeah, I got this.

This earth is not my home, but I'm going to defend what is happening here against tyranny and injustice. Even if you kill me. We got to have people. You can't divorce this from religion. You really can't. Because you're going to have people that are going to cut deals. You're going to wind up with a bunch of Benedict Arnolds and a bunch of Benedict Donalds who are going to be cutting deals for right now.

I want to make some money right now. I want to get myself and my family in an elevated position or something. No, you're not going to win with that. And then he goes on to talk about the essence of the First Amendment. He says, people tend to assume these amorphously articulated entitlements. They're not amorphously articulated, not in our Constitution, mean that you can say anything. He said, well, that's wrong, and that's wrong for a good reason.

Even the United States, with its First Amendment, imposes all sorts of limits on speech, from not inciting violence to no kiddie porn. Okay, he doesn't understand at all what the First Amendment is about. Folks, the First Amendment is not about pornography. The First Amendment doesn't protect people slandering other people. The First Amendment doesn't protect violence or calls to violence. The First Amendment is about political and religious speech.

Period. Just take a look at the components of it. You're talking about the free exercise of religion. You're talking about the freedom to assemble and to redress your grievances with who? With the government. Everything we're talking about here is political. You're talking about the press. Why would the press be shut down?

Well, because they're criticizing the government. You can't divorce this from the context of history. And you can't divorce it from the context of the First Amendment in its entirety. When Amy Coney Barrett was standing for questioning and all of this stuff, it was absolutely amazed me. He said, well, can you identify the different components of the First Amendment? Well, yeah, there's different aspects of it. And she couldn't, by the way. There's different aspects of it.

But it's all an integrated thing. It's all about what people want to shut down your speech for. Why do people want to shut down your speech? For political reasons, for religious reasons. That's what it's about. And it has nothing to say about slander. It has nothing to say about pornography or violence or any of that other stuff or calls to violence. It's about political and religious speech every aspect of it your ability to petition your ability to redress

grievances your ability to assemble uh your your free exercise it's all about politics and religion and to try to muddy the water with pornography and things like that you you know, people versus Larry Flint. I'm on the people side. But it's just, it's garbage. That's a refuge of a filthy, debauched scandal like Larry Flint. The First Amendment was never meant to protect somebody like him. It was meant to protect people who want to talk, who have different political views and different religious views. It's always about religion and politics, folks.

Why is that so controversial? It's because these are essential things. These are vital things. You know, I talk about religion and politics. People love me or hate me, depending on whether they agree with my religion and politics in many cases right and um and that's what people try to get get a hold of you on these issues as well uh it's always been about religion and politics and so um he goes on to say having spent a oh he says and take a look at the schools these are your future judges again i put no confidence

in the judicial system whatsoever just like yesterday when we were talking to uh the documentarian she's so fed up with the justice system she was a paralegal in it she says i don't even like to call it the justice system you know it's um just call it the department uh in justice instead of the department of justice just department injustice uh that's what has become injustice but he said look at the look at your future judges he said having spent a big chunk of my professional life arguing against the undemocratic nature of bill of rights uh and and so again what is he talking about here well uh does he not like the idea that we have a rule of law as a lawyer uh does he want a mob to describe this because again there's nothing sacred about a

democracy and the founders of this country didn't like democracy they wanted a republic and a rule of law and a bill of rights that's what this guy doesn't understand i don't want the mob out there voting whether or not they can have me for lunch that type of thing and so you have to look at the context of all this stuff to understand what the first amendment is truly about but he says fourthly he says there is more scope today to speak your mind in no national bill of rights, Australia regarding things such as hate speech claims, campaign finance rules, speech related to religion.

Then there is a, my native Canada or in the EU or in Britain. And he says to repeat myself, the U S is first amendment, which did nothing during COVID is not not what's for sale in today's Bill of Rights marketplace. Well, again, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, folks, are not self-enforcing. They are pieces of paper.

They are a plan. They are a model. They are the legitimate definition of what our government is. And what we have are a lot of people who have absolutely no legitimacy. They have no integrity. If you elect criminals who have no integrity, if you elect people like Johnson and Trump who flip on a moment's notice, they have no principles. If you elect people like that, guess what? They don't have any principles about violating the Constitution

or the Bill of Rights either. This is not difficult to understand. It is not a self-enforcing document. So how do we enforce it? At the local level. That's where you're going to have the most leverage as well. That's a good thing, by the way. That's a real blessing.

Because if our only hope was at the federal level, we would have no hope. Because you're not going to be able to have any input, any effect on that system whatsoever. You're one of 350 million people or more. And that's not counting the extra stuff ballots and all the corruption that goes on with that uh and um in terms of money you've got no influence there either you've got no influence and money no influence and voting why would these people listen to you they don't they listen to the people who give them money even if it's a foreign government they do what the foreign government tells them to do they listen to the people who give them money. Even if it's a foreign government, they do what the foreign government tells them to do.

They listen to the people who are going to give them money. People are going to keep them in office. You don't have any input at all into the federal government. But you do at the local level. You can have some input there. And it can go a lot further. Even at the state level you can so again the transfer of social policy making power to the judges that comes with the bill of rights this is his problem

he has a problem with the judicial system and i do too and we should reject it it is it is corrupt just like the rest of the stuff and so on on that point, I completely agree with him. But there's much that he doesn't understand. And so I think we have to understand that it is important for us to have moral authority on our side. It is important for us to show that they are people who are liars with no integrity. Look at this trial with Cohen and Trump and everything. Even CNN is saying, oh, look at this.

This Trump's attorney just on issue after issue after issue, he exposed Cohen as a liar. That's a big deal. And on issue after issue after issue, if I had any of these congressmen on the stand, I could do the same thing to them that they're doing to Cohen. Only difference is they haven't been convicted and he has, they don't even have a criminal conviction. They've got no convictions whatsoever. So, uh, but I share his contempt for the judges. He doesn't understand that, uh, power versus authority. He doesn't understand God given rights versus government granted

privileges and entitlements. He doesn't understand the difference between judges and jury nullification. He should be arguing for jury nullification there and he doesn't understand the difference between the tyranny and the lesser magistrate as an answer to the tyranny and it's important for that lesser magistrate to have the moral authority to have the god-given, and to have the people of the community standing with him like you would in a situation of jury nullification. Okay, we're going to take a quick break, and we will be right back. Unlike most revolutions, where the people rise against a real economic oppression, in

our case here in Boston, we are fighting for purely an abstract principle. Hear, hear! Hear, hear! It is, however, not nearly so abstract as the young gentleman supposes. The issue involved here is one of monopoly. Today, the British government will monopolize the sale of tea in our country. Tomorrow, it will be something else. ¶¶ liberty it's your move you're listening to the david knight show well i want to thank doug a lug thank you for the tip and uh dg8 thank you also for tip and he writes that david jeff durbin exposed the fraud mike johnson is johnson was behind the scenes in louisiana working to get pro-life legislation halted yeah he said we've got an election to win that's why i call him machiavellian mike you can see that i absolutely 100 believe that uh look at what he did in terms of doing a complete

180 on ukraine he had always opposed ukraine until it was a evidently a condition of him becoming speaker and then he said and we're not going to give the money to ukraine unless we have um um money for the border all right so forth he was going to link those two right up until the point that just changed his mind went the other way the man has no moral principles whatsoever uh steven caspar we the people should have some say as to where and how our tax money is spent. Well, I agree. We have taxation without representation. The Octo spook said, um, uh, without, um, taxation without representation, major region reason of 1776 and the rest of the story. And of course, now we have not only taxation without representation, but we have regulation

without representation, which can be even worse, even worse. Uh, that's how they're getting rid of our meat, how they're getting rid of our cars, how they're getting rid of our energy and our electric grid. It's all regulation without representation. Uh, Octo spook simply put, we are funding our own enslavement. Yeah, that's right. Um, uh, Joker Joe too. The problem with the local idea is the fed dollars being given for control of every single entity, right down to health school, to school boards and County health boards. I agree. And we're going to have to have people of integrity. And we actually have a, um, uh, a state legislator who's introduced it. Now he's not gotten this past.

We introduced an idea that we're going to stop taking federal money for education. I don't believe that passed. But you have to start electing people like that. You say, keep your money. You have to do that personally. I said that 30 years ago when we started the homeschooling thing. We're getting involved with homeschooling. And all these people, well, we want, we still, even though we're homeschooling, we're paying taxes and we ought to have access to school sports and the school music programs,

all the rest of the stuff. And I said, nope, you take the coin, they control you. Don't take their money. It's far more important to have your kids independent of that system. We got to have, and as you point out, that's the way they control. That's why all these people who say, trump didn't do it 2020 they don't understand how politics works it always works with the money always uh ap rumble seat uh don't you believe it fight for the bill of rights that's right we will will be needed given color of law legislation on the books that is incredibly

dangerous that's right angel freak the government only wants to legalize marijuana because it's a cash crop that they can tax a hell lot of smokers that's true just take a look at what happened in california it is all about it is all about power it's all about money right uh that's that's what it's all about money, right? That's what it's all about. No doubt about it. But again, I can look at alcohol prohibition, and it was an absolute total failure. Created organized crime. It did all these other things. Corrupted courts and things like that.

But I don't drink alcohol. Alcohol is legal and unfortunately it really has changed the area around here and the makeup of tourists i think to have um these um uh what they call them moonshine places they legalize making of hard liquor and these places are just popping up all over the place uh i'd rather have the tourist shops that sell stuffed bears back uh anyway um grammy forgot america failed the covet test miserably mainly because of trump putting to sleep the people who would normally fight back says my son yeah that's right uh that was what was dangerous about him uh speaker joe too they've totally corrupted police agencies to enforce their desires that's why why they could pull off COVID hoax successfully, and they're going to do it again.

That's right. And how is it that they do that with things like the war on drugs and with money? But it is an uphill battle, but that's the only place where we've really got any. And I think that we do have some ability to do some things there um it's not just out of well we got nothing else is going to work no i think there are some real opportunities to get things done there uh and look if we don't have anybody with any integrity anywhere this country's lost anyway i think there's a lot of people who do have integrity i don't think we need to be in despair.

As we saw in the Old Testament, I'm the only one. No, you're not the only one. I've reserved 7,000 people myself, God said, to the prophet. And I think we often feel that we are alone. There's a lot of people out there, a lot of people. Sometimes I'll see things on social media. Somebody's got it exactly right. They absolutely got it exactly right. They absolutely got it exactly right. And they would agree with me on pushing back against the tyranny, the local control,

whatever. And sometimes I'll look at them and say, does this person follow me? No, they don't know anything about me. There's a lot of people out there who think like this, not necessarily because they caught this show or whatever. It can help for people to know there's other people who agree with them that are out there. And that's why we need to start coming together and trying to bring this together. But there's a lot of people out there who get it. Bill Gates is predicting that the mRNA vaccine factory is worldwide and $2 vaccines for every disease. Remember, he had immunization agenda 2030.

IA 2030. Every person, everywhere, every age vaccinated. And I've always said, and also for every possible vaccination, he wants them to all have all of those shots. And he wants it now for every animal as well. It's just amazing. Anything that moves. He wants them to all have all of those shots. And he wants it now for every animal as well. It's just amazing. Anything that moves.

They'll even put it in the plants, you know, and try to vaccinate us through the plants. These people are absolutely insane. What is it that drives the evil of Bill Gates and the rest of these people? The love of money. You know, Gates may be beyond the love of money. You know, he's got some other alternatives for this now. He's one of the richest men in the world. But the people who are his minions are doing it for the love of money.

That's why they're engaging in this evil. That's what empowers this guy. Same thing that empowers the federal government. Over the next five years, it looks like there's going to be a lot of money put into innovation of mrna said medical commentator john campbell this is a story from children's health defense campbell is a former nurse and a health care educator uh and he said um we look at bill gates and his Ted talk back in 2022. One clip, he promoted mRNA as easy, cheap, self-assembling and scalable. Oh, wow. He said, we just need to mess around a little bit in the next five years. He said to make it so soon there'll be factories worldwide that can make $2 vaccines with even less lead time than we've had to hear during this pandemic and of course elon musk

got involved with the mrna manufacturing stuff at the very beginning as well and you know notice that he says within the next five years you see folks um all these people who i saw a funny quote the other day it's from doug wilson and he said the millennial uh that thousand year reign of peace that christians love to fight about every aspect when is it what is it what is it gonna you know all this other kind so um in the same same way you know we have christians love to fight about the end times you know what we're in an end time right now. We're at the end time of a fourth turning cycle. And it is every bit as identifiable and as real as the seasons that come around on an annual basis. This comes around on an 80-year basis. And we better understand that we're in

the end times of that cycle. And we better start paying attention to what these people who have their designs for this are trying to do and the means by which they're going to bring it about. So Campbell, the former nurse and healthcare educator said, this all sounds quite incredible. He goes, what qualifications does Gates have to do any of this stuff? Of course, right? He's not a doctor. We've always pointed that out. Not a doctor, not a nurse, not a pharmacist, not a biomedical scientist. He's not a dentist. He's not a physiotherapist.

He's none of these things. He has no qualifications in these matters. And yet he holds court with the media as if he was the world's doctor. Why? Money, money, and the media loves his money. So the government politicians, let me know how comfortable you are with people self appointing themselves to lead global research on these topics. He told his viewers Gates also said there would be innovative new vaccines that could eradicate entire families of viruses, of course, not entire families of people, you know, like that.

No, it's going to eradicate families of viruses. You have Dr. McCullough, Dr. Peter McCullough, had some advice for Trump, political advice. I think the issue is the vaccine, honestly. This is what Trump could say. He could say, listen, I was lied to by Fauci. Fauci's credit right now is in the tank. He's got no credibility. He's just hiding. He's hiding. So he could say, listen, I was lied to by Fauci. I was deceived. And he can leave it there. And then as the vaccine rolled out, remember,

all the safety problems in the vaccine, that occurred under Biden. And he said, listen, the Biden administration didn't do anything good on safety. I now fully understand what's going on. And if I get in office, I'm going to make this right for America. All he has to do is say it. He doesn't have to admit he's wrong now most of the politicians are so weak They don't have the strength to admit them wrong. I said if he just comes out and he says look I Maybe I didn't mess up just the vaccine we found out now After further research that's not admitting anything we found out now after further research It is no good and that guy is trying to kill you and your kids. If he said

that, whoa. And then all the Trump people would go do a little bit of research because Trump said it. And then maybe we get a real talking point about it. Honestly, I think it's a political opportunity of a lifetime. And if

the answer is it's a weakness that he can't admit he's wrong, then that weakness could cost him. Yeah, well, I think he does have that weakness. You know, I played for you earlier this week, like that he was asked, have you asked God to forgive you? Folks, if Trump doesn't want God's forgiveness, he doesn't need maga's forgiveness okay maga worships trump like a god and um i have a problem with people who's tried to money morning quarterback this stuff well you know trump just needs to stop talking about this stuff you know we understand it's killing everybody now we just need to stop talking about you're the guy that

told everybody it was sugar water alex or Or you got people like Wayne Allen Root. Trump needs to stop talking about this. Or Mark Levin, you know, talking, oh, they need to stop talking about it. When they were saying before, take credit for it. Take credit for it. It's 4-D chess. It's sugar water. Look, we need some people of integrity. And I don't really care what Trump says at this point.

He is, is he a fool or is he a tool? He pushed this thing long after he was out of office. The time for him to say it was a mistake passed three years ago. When I was watching the people drop dead and I was watching him brag about it. I have absolutely no sympathy or and i'm not going to play that kind of politics and it's sad to see other people playing it i understand that dr peter mccullough wants trump to tell people that it's bad because dr mccullough understands how bad this stuff is and we got to start rolling back that narrative and so there would be some

value to it for that uh but i don't really care whether any of these people win as i said the solution is not in washington uh rare blood clots from johnson and johnson astrozenica covid shots are tied to genetics this is coming from bloomberg now um you know that of course you could always say this type of thing it's one of the reasons why the jab doesn't kill everybody right away there's a tremendous amount of variation in the different lot numbers in terms of the concentration of the poison tremendous variation it varied by a factor of 30, if you remember going back and looking at that. And you had people like Naomi Wolf, they had the project that correlated different batches to the different injuries. And the correlation was, as you can

imagine, the ones with really high doses had the really, really bad outcomes. The whole thing was a test. It was an experiment Netanyahu used as people's lab rats. You see, varying the dosage and seeing what the effects are is what you're supposed to do during the testing phase. They skipped that in a sense, but then that was why the only thing that they really wanted to track was the lot number. And I believe they knew that they were varying it by a factor of 30. When you have a pharmaceutical company, you would have people dropping a dead left and right. If your medicines were varying

by a factor of 30, you know, so let's say that you have a, um, uh, some medication that you're taking and, uh, you're supposed to take two pills a day. Well, let's say that you have some medication that you're taking and you're supposed to take two pills a day. Well, let's say that instead of taking two pills a day, you take the entire bottle of 60. That's what we're talking about here. There's absolutely no way that Pfizer and these other companies had their concentration of, let's just call it active ingredients. I think it's poison. No way that their active ingredients would vary by a factor of 30 without them knowing it. So it's another indication of how there was collusion, premeditated

murder, and all of this stuff. But why is Bloomberg talking about this at this point in time? I was talking about the blood clots four years ago, more than four years ago. Where may I was talking about it in january of 2020 why are they just now talking about it and well because it's a big problem and because it's not the genes of the problem it's the poison that you put in people you notice how they're spinning this stuff now they can't run away from the effects so they're trying all kinds of narrative spin this is one of the reasons why i'm not encouraging trump to come clean on the lies that he told

people because we need to not have people who are going to be spinning stuff like this no it was your jab that triggered it in some people not in all people and it was your jab that triggered it because it varied amazingly some people got one pill some people not in all people and it was your jab that triggered it because it varied amazingly some people got one pill some people got a bottle of pills when they got a shot it's your genes of the problem Pfizer and Moderna are just as bad as Johnson and Johnson and AstraZeneca you know and when it's all was rolling out, I remember when it happened. And I think it might've been in April because Johnson Johnson was coming late.

And I remember we had a situation that was interesting. The symmetry of it, four different, uh, states at, um, four different locations. And they had 48 people instantly keel over and had,

um, uh, issues. Right. And you remember they stopped it for about a week. different locations and they had 48 people instantly keel over and had um uh issues right and you remember they stopped it for about a week johnson and johnson and then they came back and they said well you know blood clots i don't think it was blood clots that happened that quick i think it was something else but nevertheless they came back and they said well you know all this stuff about blood clots we've given six million doses of, and we've only had six women who have been harmed by this. Let me tell you, I told you then it was a lie. I said in their various database, they've got over 800 people at that point in time, four years ago.

And if it was only one in a million chance, there was no way that you'd have Bloomberg coming up with phony articles like this, blaming it on people's genetics four years ago no way at all if this is any of this was true they wouldn't need these phony explanations my son says oh really the genetics modification injection has side effects tied to genetics yeah the GC I always called it the genetic code injection shocking but I guess that proves that the shot was safe you are the problem always as I is always us, right?

We need to get IDs. That's our problem. We don't have IDs. So, yeah, it's and then we have people like Chris Cuomo. He's still not telling you the truth. He's still a limited hangout, just like Tucker Carlson. Former CNN anchor Chris Cuomo suggested he was injured by the covet 19 vaccine said he was taking ivermectin to treat his symptoms i played for

yesterday you know him uh dishing on people calling people taking ivermectin a fool now he is saying it in a new study shows that ivermectin reduced icu admissions by 83 83 and see all these people the maga defenders of trump whoa trump mentioned ivermectin yeah he mentioned it to make it a joke he mentioned hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin just so as as a an idiot in an idiotic way, so that Fauci could put him down and could mock these things. He was the clown to Fauci's straight man. Look, if Trump really wanted people to have ivermectin, he could have said to the medical associations, to the hospitals,

to the state public health things. If you punish doctors who prescribe it, if you punish pharmacists who fill it, we're going to cut your money off. That's how he knows to do that. He says, if you lock down, now he's saying, if you lock down people, I'm going to cut your money off. He paid them to lock down people in 2020. Now he's saying he'll cut the money off to stop it because he knows that's how it works. You bribe and you blackmail people. And so if he wanted the ivermectin out there,

he could have said, if you stop this, if you punish people for doing ivermectin off-label, because again, it was a drug that they had a 60-year safety profile on. It was just being used for a purpose that the government had not specifically tested it for. So he could have said, if you do that, I'm going to cut your funds off. And he didn't do it. The other thing he could have done is he could have used his superpowers like he did to make ventilators and to push remdesivir.

He could have pushed ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine, but he didn't, did he? He's not on our side, folks. Wake up. And neither is Chris Cuomo. His revelations come as a new report from clinical trial showed that ivermectin reduced ICU admissions by 83%. On a May 7th episode of a podcast with Patrick Bet-David. Cuomo said his doctor told him, quote, we're looking at your blood.

You have so many antibodies that we don't know what the vaccine would do for you as opposed to you, so don't take it. His doctor showed him glowing microclot stuff, he said, in his blood, which scared me to death he said really shook me up uh he says i don't know that it's the vaccine he told bet david look we know it's the vaccine we know the microclots are there we've known this for four years you see what that's why i say he's out there you know oh i'm on your side i've got credibility he doesn't have any credibility he's still lying to you and he's doing it as a limited hangout i have no patience for people like him and tucker

crawson you know it's just like ivermectin he said it was a boogeyman early on and covid you couldn't talk about it isn't that interesting he's admitting that uh he was told he knew better and uh he couldn't talk about it. In the same way that Tucker Carlson says, well, you know, you couldn't talk about building seven or you'd get fired. And guess what? Tucker's still not telling you the truth about 9-11 and Cuomo's still not telling you the truth about any of this stuff, any of this quote-unquote COVID. Look, what Cuomo won't tell you is that the bioweapon was the jab. It was the Trump shot. And what Tucker won't tell you is that the terrorists of 9-11 were our own government.

Say it out loud, you shills. I am so disgusted with these people. Always lying, always grifting, always running con jobs on people. Just tell people the truth. But they won't. They will never do it. It's not in their nature. Their nature is to lie. They're like Hillary Clinton. They will tell you a lie when the truth would be in their best interest. It's absolutely amazing. My son says, you couldn't talk about it? Well, that's strange. I seem to remember you talking about ivermectin at that time. Yeah, he was talking about it a lot.

He was just saying lies about it, lies about it. And of course, Tucker talked about 9-11 and Building 7 a lot as well. He attacked anybody, ruthlessly attacked people, stopped them. Well, I sent you some videos of this. Let's talk about what we see with that building collapsing and free fall. I'm not showing that. I'm not showing that. You know, these guys, Tucker and Cuomo, it's amazing to me. Left and right. Left and right.

Let's talk a little bit about the blood clots, though. You know, that's an ongoing thing. This was sent to me. I've had several listeners send stuff to me about blood clots since I have high blood pressure. And I have AFib. And I had a doctor prescribe some blood thinning medication to me. I had a friend who recommended a particular natural blood thinning medication. Because I looked at what he was pushing.

And it was made by it was uh it was made by pfizer and it was super expensive and it had all kinds of horrible side effects which the medical uh sites would not tell you but if you looked at the comments look at the comments that's where you'll see the truth there other people like you uh i can't believe this what this did to me and on and on you know and it's like okay we're not going to take that uh but i did get some good advice and thank you colleen for this said i know you're trying to find some natural remedies for your blood pressure uh natto kinase would if i'm pronouncing that correctly n-a-t-t-o-k-i-n-e-s-e would be something where you might be interested in looking into and um i i did look into, and I also had somebody tell me about something else,

which is called Lumbrokinase, L-U-M-B-R-O-K-I-N-A-S-E. They seem to be very similar, besides both of them ending in N-A-S-E. Natural supplements for clots. They clear out your arteries as well, thin your blood as well. So they actually, uh, uh, attack the blood clot, uh, in the formation. Um, I looked at, uh, one article where they were comparing the two and, um, they began with natto kinase, which is what, uh, uh, was, was just recommended to me. Um, and, uh, I said, which is what was just recommended to me.

And I said there was statistically significant decrease in fibrogen factor 7 and factor 8, the coagulation factors in healthy and in cardiovascular disease participants. A study in healthy young adult males to determine bioavailability showed that natokinase starts to work about two hours after taking it blood antithrombin this anti-blood clot levels rose at two hours and stayed elevated for another two hours and so they talk about some of the technical aspects of it studies show that also decreased scar tissue formation in heart surgery that it it reduced cardio tid plaque, and it reduced blood pressure a little bit. A safety trial of 153 patients with deep vein thrombosis or venous insufficiency after surgery found that nanokinase

improved clinical symptoms without adverse drug reactions. That's the key thing with these natural ingredients. And this is interesting because the two of them have a very similar profile in terms of what they do. The natokinase comes from Japan. It's derived from soy, whereas the limbrokinase is something that comes from China. It's derived from traditional Chinese medication for rheumatoid diseases as well as for heart health.

That was one of the reasons why I went with it, even though it doesn't have the number of studies that the other one does. So do your own research. In terms of the natokinase, some of the research has said that it's also perhaps useful for Alzheimer's. It reduces amyloid beta in the brain associated with Alzheimer's disease. The problem is that it doesn't cross the blood brain barrier very well, but it still has some effect.

This particular article says, well, maybe we need to use lipid nanoparticles. No, that's a whole separate thing in and of itself. But that lipid nanoparticle does cross the brain, blood brain barrier, which is one of the things, another thing that makes this um genetic code injection so dangerous so when you look at it you know one of them derived from soy and from japan the other one is derived from an earthworm species that they extracted this from one of them has a little bit more data behind it. But again, I'm just throwing this stuff out. I don't sell this stuff. I've got no dog in this fight, and I'm not a doctor giving you medical advice.

I'm just telling you where you might look if you want to try to find some help. I appreciate people sending this stuff to me. And I do look at it, and I do appreciate it. I wanted to pass some of the stuff that i thought uh had uh more merit to it than some of the others i wanted to pass that along to you um angel freak we have to fight collectively but still maintain our individuality absolutely uh octo spook the bird flu quote unquote is shaping up to be an advanced loss of rights further enslavement and cover for high crimes and treason forbes um i'll say it real quickly because i don't think i'll have the time to get

all as deep into as i want to go but it's every day it's something and forbes just put out an article that had a timeline about all the different pronouncements and when you look at the timeline it's like well they tested this and this is not a problem they tested that and that's not a problem and so forth but they nevertheless they continue to come back And even when they say, well, it's safe to have your meat if you cook it. It's like, okay, fine. But, you know, they keep, well, it's okay if you have milk, but don't have that raw milk because we've never wanted you to have raw milk, that type of thing. And they never wanted us to have meat either. And that's why they're restricting the cattle farms.

And they also know that we're onto their schemes. They treated us like cattle. They told us that we had to have herd immunity. They put tags on us like cattle. And now they're actually doing it to the cattle so they can vaccinate us into our food. And you've got the CDC has now added, just like Forbes is keeping this long timeline of nothing happening, nothing happening. But they keep this timeline to make it appear as if there's something happening. It's a bunch of tests that show that there's nothing to be concerned about.

And then CDC has now got a a dashboard a dashboard to try to push now they've set this up they're going to start using the pcr process they're going to start using that to try to create a narrative to scare people oh we got a case over here we got a case over here just like they did with covet it doesn't have to be symptomatic. But unlike COVID, if they find an unsymptomatic case, they'll kill the entire flock of millions of birds or the entire herd of thousands of cattle. Because it's also about attacking our food supply. And, you know, just along that line, I saw this clip as well. This is from the mayor, Eric Adams. And this is an old clip.

I just saw it on social media again. But this is like a year old or more. The C40, the agenda of these big cities that began with CityCon in London and Bloomberg when he was mayor, that's when they began C40. And they've had all this stuff on their agenda for a long time. It started out 40 cities. Now it's over 100. And Eric Adams said this about a year ago. For the first time in our city's history, we're measuring just how much of an impact

our food choices have on our emissions. First time we're doing this. We work with the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, and I want to take my hat off to a great corporate partner, American Express. American Express. Isn't that great? partner, American Express. American Express. Isn't that great? Yeah, they're partnering with him.

And we're going to start measuring. Why are they measuring it? Well, because they're going to start trying to control it. Same reason you need to be concerned about the fact that CDC is going to put up a dashboard about bird flu. They're going to measure it so that they can control not it. So they can control you. We'll be right back. Thank you. you're listening to the david knight show all right welcome back i want to get into uh some ai stuff i will i do have some comments here uh one more about the free speech issue i see

somebody who disagrees with me soylent goy says i disagree the first amendment covers all speech i said before it's about religion and politics i stand stand by that. I think that you've got other laws about slander. You're not free to slander people. You're not free to publish falsehoods about them. And I don't think that that ought to be taken away. I think if you're deliberately deceptive to people, we need to be able to have debates. And along those lines lines even when you're looking at something like climate change for example why is that censored well because of religion and also because of politics right obviously because of politics but it is their religion too that is secular humanism i think that um you know when you when you talk about free speech, whenever you say that people cannot, you know, you can't say this

or that about a particular group or something, it is for a political reason, ultimately, right? When you look at DEI, that's all politics. When you look at LGBT, that's religion, right? These are, and so it all does fall into that. And these are the things that people want to silence. And, of course, now it goes into scientific debate because science has been politicized. Pretty much everything in our society has been politicized. And so from that standpoint, it does pretty much cover all speeches. I said before, free speech is not a crime uh it is censorship is a

crime and it is usually there to cover up a crime that's being committed that when you're talking about politics but when you look at the first amendment i think all those things that are there i think when we muddy the water when we start making it about pornography and things pornography uh violence that we see in some of these protests, whether it's BLM or whether it is, um, what's going on in the campuses right now, that is not free speech. And if we can't understand what, if we can't understand what speech is versus what action is, then, um, we're going to have these people take away our free speech. They'll use that confusion to take away our free speech. And, uh, you know, there should never be anything such as a hate crime, for example.

That is judging somebody's motive. I mean, it's been used in the past to see if somebody's got a motive for committing an actual crime. But if we say that hate is a crime, well, then there's no end to it. That's mind control. That is the path to totalitarian mind control. But anyway, let's talk a little bit about AI. We have this new chat GPT that I played a little bit of it for you the other day. That's Mary Sue voice that is there.

And they gave a little bit more of a demonstration of it. And I think we need to pay attention to just how clever this is i would liken ai to an extremely intelligent and glib politician somebody like ramaswamy who is is got some sinister motives uh and uh is going to use that ability to speak very cleverly and you just have to you to watch out for the substance of what they say. Somebody who speaks well can be very seductive. And AI is going to be the consummate liar. And I want you to hear how they ask it some questions.

Tell me a fairy tale. Tell me a bedtime story. And they keep interrupting it in the middle of it and tell it, change it up and make it more like this or make it that way or sing it or whatever. So I wanted to play just a little bit of that for you to give you an idea of just how dangerous and deceptive, um,

this, uh, clever thing can be. Tell them a bedtime story about robots and love. Oh, a bedtime story about robots and love. I've got you covered. clever thing can be. I like the way you started this story, but I want a little bit more emotion in your voice. A little bit more drama. Got it. Let's add some drama. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named... No, no, no, Chachi.

I really want maximal emotion, like maximal expressiveness. Much more than you were doing before. Understood. Let's amplify the drama. Once upon a time, in a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named Byte. Actually, can you do this in a robotic voice now? Initiating dramatic... In a world not too different from ours, there was a robot named Byte.

Byte was a curious robot, always exploring new circuits. So I'm seeing Barrett here calm down a little bit. Can you repeat the story, but do it in a singing voice? And so Byte found another robot friend, and they lived circuitly ever after. This is so cringe this reminds me of uh the censorship disinformation queen that that biden had doesn't it you know oh just amazing i think they must have used her as a template for this i gotta say that if we're going to have robot voices i would even prefer marvin the depressed robot to that from hitchhiker's

guide the galaxy no i'm feeling very depressed well we have something that should take your mind off things it won't work i have an exceptionally large mind you to go down to the number two entry bay and pick up our stowaways and bring them up here just that I won't enjoy it yeah well that's life life don't talk to me about wouldn't that be a better robot I mean it just do just sign castly all the doors in this spaceship have been programmed to have a cheerful and sunny disposition. Anyway, come on. I've been ordered to take you up to the bridge. Oh, please yourselves. Here I am, bringing the size of a planet and they ask me to

take you up to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction because i don't you can thank the serious cybernetics corporation for building robots with gpp what's gpp genuine people personalities i'm a personality prototype you can tell can't you yeah that's what we should call it instead Instead of chat GPT, it should be GPP. Genuine personality profiles or whatever. Yeah, the Doors speaking to them with a sunny disposition just like your phone or something. I tell you what, they say the future doesn't need us. I don't think we need their future, do we?

Do you really want this? Douglas Adams nailed this stuff. What was it back in the 70ies or early eighties or something late seventies, early eighties with hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy. And, um, you know, the absurdity of what they're doing today, these guys must have grown up. These people running these, uh, companies must have grown up watching hitchhiker's guide. The galaxy didn't get the satire and the

cynicism and they tried to implement it as best as they could so now you got the sunny disposition of the phone that's there uh so uh yeah let's hope that we can escape that future that they want for us a new model sounds considerably more natural and emotional with a lifelike female voice seemingly picking up on tone and emotions of the user in real time. But differently, it's a lot closer to Scarlett Johansson's voice than the 2013 sci-fi blockbuster her. Well, maybe it's just a little bit too giggly for me. But it is impressive as to how it is going to be used, I think, to deceive people. And while we're talking about deception, let's jump over. I'll do it without a break because I want to make sure we get this stuff in before we

have our guests joining us. Gerald's going to join us in the next hour. But I want to talk a little bit about this, all this pearl clutching that's going on over a nfl a player this is the guy who is the field goal kicker uh for the chiefs who won the super bowl and i think he did like four field goals and and they won by three points he added 12 of those points but of course his teammates put him in the position to kick the field goal. Nevertheless, he was given the opportunity to speak to a small traditional Catholic commencement. And he got some attention because he's this football player, this NFL player. And CNN is just apoplectic about what is going on and they

talked about it they wrote an article about it said this has reached a new level uh the backlash over this nfl player and what he had to say and it has it's reached a new level of ignorance of intolerance of hate and it is all about what he had to say about religion and politics actually the nfl is distancing itself from as the cnn people call it the controversial comments by kansas city chiefs kicker i'm gonna play what they think is so controversial for you here his name is harrison butker recent commits commencement address, in addition to calling Pride Month a deadly sin. Yeah, pride is a deadly sin, especially when you're proud of your other sins. It's like you kind of double down on it.

Pride by itself, even if something that is not sinful is a sin, but when you're proud of your sin. Anyway, bemoaning diversity and equity initiatives, Butker set off waves of criticism when he suggested that women find more fulfillment through getting married and having children than by pursuing careers. And then he made the ultimate mistake, the ultimate blasphemy. He quoted some Taylor Swift stuff,

in a sense, not really, but the comments about women and the fact that he mentioned or implied Taylor Swift was enough to have him denounced. Now, I'll play you this short little statement here that CNN did, and I'll play you what they cut out. To that actually makes a big difference. And I think it's kind of interesting, as I said before, it's a lot of prejudice and bigotry and ignorance on their part.

You'll hear this anchor doesn't know how to pronounce Benedictine. She's never seen that word before. She calls it Benedictine and struggles with that. She has to pause for a second. Here's the clip. And to the graduating class of Benedictine College, listen to what he had to say. I think it is you, the women who have had the most diabolical lies told to you.

How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career. Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. As men we set the tone of the culture. Be unapologetic in your masculinity, fighting against the cultural emasculation of men. Do hard things. Never settle for what is easy.

I'm guessing you both wholeheartedly agree with everything you said. Oscar, pass the part where you react and say you do not and just assume for a second. Let me go on though as to why this is impactful and why I'm asking this question now. One of the things that could be described at prior debates, especially when Trump is speaking is about toxic masculinity, number one. Also about the idea of reproductive rights and the agency of women. Well, nobody will recuse that guy of having any masculinity. Abortion, reproductive rights more broadly. When you have comments like this being made, it's going to be a part of the conversation. How do you think either will fare? Well? First of all, I'll say stick to kicking, Harrison.

You wonder why Nikki Haley is still getting 20% of the vote? This guy was an advisor to George W. Bush and John McCain. This kind of dialogue that's going on largely in the Republican Party. John Bolton said

a really interesting thing to me, which really struck me, and this is just evidence of. He said, Mark, there is no arc to, there's no arc to there's there's no arc to history progress is not guaranteed and this kind of thing just makes us feel like god we're going back to the 50s yeah i mean it's just nuts you know i just back to the 50s well i don't know it wasn't perfect but it certainly was better than it is now i know because i was there um but anyway

um so they're very proud of the fact that they got a hold of the nfl and they complained and they got the senior vice president of the uh nfl's diversity and inclusion officer come back to them and say well he's speaking on his own personal behalf we don't agree with any of the stuff that he had to say and then he had uh glad coming out on his own personal behalf. We don't agree with any of the stuff that he had to say. And then he had a glad coming out and saying he's woefully out of step with Americans about pride, LGBTQ people and women. Well, um, I don't know. I, I guess it depends on whether America is out of step with God or not. Maybe is what really the issue is, but let me play you what they skipped over.

As of what he had to say, uh, here's skipped over as to what he had to say. Here's the full remarks about what he had to say about marriage and family and his wife. For the ladies present today, congratulations on an amazing accomplishment. You should be proud of all that you have achieved to this point in your young lives. I want to speak directly to you briefly because I think it is you, the women, who have had the most diabolical lies told to you. How many of you are sitting here now about to cross this stage and are thinking about all the promotions and titles you are going to get in your career?

Some of you may go on to lead successful careers in the world, but I would venture to guess that the majority of you are most excited about your marriage and the children you will bring into this world. I can tell you that my beautiful wife, Isabel, would be the first to say that her life truly started when she began living her vocation as a wife and as a mother. I am on this stage today and able to be the man I am because I have a wife who leans into her vocation. I am beyond blessed with the many talents God has given me, but it cannot be overstated that all of my success is made possible because a girl I met in band class back in middle school would convert to the faith, become my wife, and embrace

one of the most important titles of all, homemaker. Oh, they actually applauded. How about that? They applauded homemaker. She's a primary educator to our children. She is the one who ensures I never let football or my business become a distraction from that of a husband and father. She is the person that knows me best at my core, and it is through our marriage that, Lord willing, we will both attain salvation.

I say all of this to you because I have seen it firsthand how much happier someone can be when they disregard the outside noise and move closer and closer to God's will in their life. Isabel's dream of having a career might not have come true, but if you asked her today if she has any regrets on her decision, she would laugh out loud without hesitation and say, heck no. Yeah, that's what cannot be tolerated. And of course, he said things about that he disagreed with Biden as well. They didn't like that. And so you had the city of Kansas City, where the football team, the Chiefs are based, decided that they would, the official account of the city, doxed him, said, here's his address. In other words, like, go, go after him.

And absolutely amazing. So then the Missouri Attorney General said, there's going to be some accountability for this. They apologized. But again, it shows you the hate, the intolerance of all of this cancel culture that is there. And they cannot tolerate somebody somebody has a difference of opinion but i thought it was very beautiful what he had to say about his wife about his family and

and it was welcome in that conservative venue that was there and uh there was an article about a pro-life article called Knit Together. And as I was reading it, it's by a guy named Zephram Foster on AmericanReformer.org. Knit Together begins with a quote from Psalms. You formed my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother's womb. And as I looked at that, and he's making it all about the fact that God weaves us together with the different components, genetic and even spiritual, of mother and father and our mother's womb. He talks about it in terms of God's sovereignty, in terms of doing that, our rebellion

as we decide that we're going to tear that apart. But having just seen him do that before I came across this article, I thought, you know, God also knits us together in other ways as well. He knits us together in our family, doesn't he? He knits us together in marriage, male and female. The two shall become one. He knits us together in terms of a family as well. And that's what he was talking about. It's done that way if we appreciate the wonder of what he has done in the creation of life,

the creation of relationships that he has put together. Zephyr Foster says, anyone who has ever held a newborn child knows the feeling of being overwhelmed by the glory and the miracle of life. Anyone who has held a newborn child knows something divine is at work, something that is beyond our understanding. God weaves together spirit and matter.

He inseparably intertwines the immortal soul with the bodily flesh in the womb of the mother. This union will never be broken. Each of us is a body as much as a soul. And even though the two will briefly separate, God has promised that we'll someday be reunited with our bodies for eternity. This is even going back to a Job, the oldest building. He says, I know that my redeemer lives and I will see him in the flesh. This is the humbling mystery that when God performs his favorite and most impressive miracle, he chooses to do it through us, specifically through women. This is perhaps the greatest natural honor that God can bestow on humanity, that he works through sinful, broken humanity to bring forth the miracle of the creation of life.

God works a miracle at every birth, every conception, and continues working that same miracle of life throughout each lifetime as he sustains us, causes our hearts to beat, fills our lungs with air, keeps us from harm until our days have run out. God brings us forth. He sustains us. And the unbelievable gift is that this miracle is performed through sinful, unworthy intermediaries, us. He says, God knits us together in our mother's womb. This means that our formation was an intentional, deliberate crafting. We are handmade, not just a result of natural, random processes.

We are God's image bearers. We are his representatives here in creation. We are unique in our honor and place among created things. When God knits us each together in our mother's womb, he gives each of us unique abilities, traits, characteristics, and personalities. He chooses not to create each individual ex nihilo, in other words, from nothing. Instead, he chooses to form us out of our parents, using traits and characteristics from the mother and the father

and the creation of the child. God knits us together with the threads of our parents, both physical, spiritual, and mental. He doesn't start with a blank slate. He doesn't start from nothing. The truth is an incredible blessing, and it is a burden because we're sinners. And when our children are formed out of us, some of the traits they may inherit will be sinful tendencies. The struggles, the issues, the sins that plague our parents will also plague us.

The Bible speaks to generational sin, and when the Bible talks about sin, it means sin. It doesn't mean trauma. A distinction does not need to be made here. We're born of a sinful nature with certain sinful tendencies and lusts, but it doesn't follow that we can excuse those sins by saying, God made me this way. God knit each of us together as individuals, but the

differences between the pure characteristics and the sinful characteristics within us can only be determined by whether or not the trait in question is sinful, not by whether or not we possess it. Even though the lines might get blurry at times, in reality it is clear. And the Bible is the one that determines that sin is sin, and what is right and what is wrong. God knits us together in his own hand, intentionally, carefully. He does so by using pieces, bits, and threads of each of our parents. One important aspect of this miracle of life that we ought not to miss is the process itself. God creates an individual human being at the moment of conception, but he doesn't immediately call them forth in the outside

world. Instead, he spends nine months carefully knitting and forming the individuals in the womb of their mother. It is a process. It takes time. And God has purposes in it. If our time in the womb, as we develop, is called by God a knitting together, then the act of intentionally subverting, interrupting, and undoing that knitting is an act of destruction. To undo the miracle of life because the life being destroyed is one formed in the image of God, and to end it as an act of terrorism against the Creator Himself, the Source and Sustainer of life. Because the child is formed, not only by God directly, but through and with the substance

of the parents, the terrorism is twofold. For a mother to end her child's life is also an act of terrorism against oneself. It is not simply an attempt on a life. It is a kamikaze attack intended to hurt the creator and to destroy oneself in the process. The act of abortion says that the creator was wrong to bring this person into existence, that we know better than he that this life ought not to exist. The terror part, the life being knit inside, is a vile and intense act of terrorism against God. Cases of rape and incest don't change this in any way. Though the victim of a rape did not consent to the act that produced the child, God has still said the child

ought to exist, despite the wicked sin of the father. God continues to sustain the mother's body as it forms a child, and he continues to knit on, aware all the while of the evil that began the process. God shows over and over again in history and in scripture that he loves to use the acts of evil man to bring about glorious good that's a zephyrum foster and when he talks about that i think all the way all the time about penny uh no penny was the mother i can't i can't remember who it was that i played the clip very a couple of times very touching clip uh about about now a young woman who survived an abortion.

And she talks about that. She was a product of rape. And she talks about how so many people tried to kill her unsuccessfully because God had different plans. But I think it's important that we understand how God has knit us together, how he has a different threads of mother and father, how he has the different threads of, um, that are there that also knit our family together, uh, as he brings about children. And he does that. He knits us together in relationships. I think it's very important to understand that. Neurodivergent, thank you very much for the tip.

He says, here's my monthly contribution day. Well, thank you very much. I've been worried about your health lately, wonder if the stress is too much. Hope you're taking time for self-care. May God bless you and protect you. Well, thank you. It is, yeah, I do, well,

I won't get into that personally. We got our guesses waiting here. And Tornator, thank you for the tip. Alan Rickman, such a great actor. Yeah, the one who was the voice of Marvin the Robot. I just played for you. Such a great actor with a distinctive voice. I'm sure it's just a coincidence that he died right after he did a movie

that was critical of the drone warfare program. Bernie, these write on everything. Mothers, if you love your child, take the time to raise him or her. Don't let the nursery do it. That's right. The hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. That's why they want to grab our kids from the cradle

and take them to the grave with socialism. We're going to take a quick break and we will be right back. 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.

Joining us now is Gerald Slendy. Gerald, we just had a new record for price of gold, and we broke $2,400, right?

Yep, $2,414 as we're speaking now. Wow, wow. Now, let's go back to September of 2023. We had forecast that gold was near its bottom when it hit $1,848. It went down a little bit below that. We said, this is the bottom. And then you look at one of our top trends for 2024. It's right there for everybody to see.

A golden 2024, a golden year for gold. Yeah. We had forecasted it was going to skyrocket. It's gone up now since we made that forecast, $365 an ounce from when we made that trend forecast. So think about it. If you subscribe to the Trends Journal for the grand total of, if you go to Knight and you put in that special discount,

for the grand total of $2.50 a week, look what you would have made. And again, we don't tell people what to do. The motto of the Trends Journal is think for yourself. We provide the facts, trends analysis, trend forecasts. This is where we see it going. This is just the beginning. It's not being reported in the mainstream media.

By the way, the Wall Street Journal ran an article last week about gold prices going up. Not a mention, not a mention of our trend forecast, which we've sent to the Wall Street Journal. Not a mention. Yeah, yeah. The importance of it and why they're playing it down is because gold prices are going up because the people with a brain see the future. And it's a future of geopolitical and socioeconomic unrest. Yeah. And gold is the number one safe haven asset to own yes yes you know it's interesting this article from kitco this is kind of a joke precious metals prices projected to rise eight

percent in 2024 says the world bank well that's pretty safe in other words i guess what they're saying is it going to go down but uh you know, you know, it's gone up so much, uh, that that is really in hindsight, it's, it's kind of a crazy. So, um, they're not really saying in this article, they're not really saying that, uh, they have any reason for it to go down. It's just that they are not even looking at, at what is, what has happened to it already. It's pretty, pretty amazing. Kitco used to have me on all the time. They don't have me on anymore at all.

Yeah. Well, I should get you. No, they don't want me on. They don't like me. Yeah. People don't like me because I speak the language of truth and I don't take, I'm not a little moronic little girl or little boy that believes in a political system. How stupid can you be to look up to the little arrogant clowns running and ruining a country near you?

Yeah, that's right. Look at him. Go over there to France. Look at that little guy, Macron, that little guy with a thing like this and a fake little hair, an arrogant little boy of nothing. Look, take a look at the United States. Look at the little clown boy that's playing our, uh, house of representatives leader in the democratic party.

Yeah. Mike Johnson. How can you be so stupid to look up to this clown take it easy Slenty don't talk like that I like Nancy Pelosi I like Adam Schitt no no no no no

I like Chuckie Schumer look at the clowns out of his mind Biden arrogant narcissistic Trump it's a presidential reality show right so anyway going back to gold gold is telling us the future is in danger and people are getting gold because it's the number one safe haven asset. And by the way, gold prices would be much higher if there wasn't a Bitcoin.

Yeah, yeah. Because what happens is you take a country like Argentina, you only have an inflation rate of 280%. 280% inflation. So the people can't afford to buy gold, so they buy a little percentage of Bitcoin because they know their currencies are becoming devalued. So here's the story. Country after country now is going to start lowering interest rates because the economy is going down and they got to boost it up the united states is

going to lower interest rates too because they don't want to see all these countries go down the lower interest rates go in the united states the higher gold prices go the only reason the dollar is strong is because we have high interest rates. So now what happens is that it's the beginning of the death of the dollar. Again, the dollar is only strong because interest rates are high and you're buying treasuries and you're getting like 4.5% or whatever. When interest rates go down, the dollar goes down, and gold prices spike. Gold prices could hit $3,000 an ounce this year.

Yeah, yeah. It's kind of interesting. James Rickards, he put in $27,000 by 2026. And he said, I'm updating my previous forecast of $15,000 by 2026. And he says, I'm changing it now to $27,000 gold. And, of course, his reasoning that he puts through there is the death of the dollar. And the fact that people are going to be moving out into gold and into Bitcoin and the massive amount of debt that is there. But, you know, all the different aspects that we talk about all the time about the death of the dollar.

But, you know, he goes through his different calculations to show why he thinks it's there. That's the biggest one I've seen. I think it definitely is an outlier. But still, he's really bullish on gold. He thinks it's going to be a 27 000 uh by 2026 and of course we got a lot of people saying well bitcoin is going to go uh past 100 000 it's going to go to 200 000 or whatever uh you see that yeah exactly we look at this because you know we're in uncharted territory and it's not just the the you know

what they're doing to the global economy it's not just what they're doing to the global economy. It's not just what they're doing to the dollar in particular that Biden is trying to destroy it by using it for sanctions and things like that. But it's also the concern and the fear that people have about things like CBDC. That's a completely new dimension to all this stuff that's never been there before throughout any of these other economic cycles. Again, go back to your Trends Journal five years ago, four years ago, a little over four years ago. From dirty cash to digital trash, Cover of Allen magazine, they're all going to go to

central bank digital currencies because they want to know every penny that you spent, where you spent it, what you spent it on. So these little slime balls, these politicians who never work a day in their life, to keep getting your tax money. And even to take it from you. Eurocraps. Yeah, even take it from you and not let you spend it in the first place.

So you can't spend it outside this little geographical area, so you better not travel outside that little geographical area because we're not going to let you spend any of the money. It's a total control. Yep. And going back to what Rickert would say about the death of the dollar you we here we here we are in the united states with a 35 trillion dollars worth of debt 35 trillion dollars and then it's going up a trillion dollars every month. Every month, we're adding a trillion dollars of debt. Excuse me, every 100 days.

How are you going to pay this off? You're not. So now, let's go back to high interest rates. With the high interest rates, you got to pay more on your debt. You're going to lower interest rates. Now, here's what no one else is talking about. Go back to your trends journal, look at some of your other top trends for 2024. How about banks go bust? No, we're not going to talk about that.

Oh, you're not going to talk about the office vacancy rate meaning no one in the office in san francisco brought to you by that little arrogant daddy's boy gavin newsom i'm partying at the french laundry 400 a plate while i'm locking down the whole country. Yeah. Yeah, that little arrogant boy. My daddy worked for the Getty Gang. He was a lawyer. You're nobody. Yeah. 36.7% vacancy rate in San Francisco. Hmm.

Vacant. Nobody in there. You know what it was before that in 2019? What? 3.5% vacancy wow it's only gone up 10 percent or 10 times yeah 10 times yeah 10 times yeah wow well you know they just sold the tallest building tallest commercial building in dallas just sold for 9% of what it was bought for in 2021, in three years. Fort Worth. Yeah, yeah. Yep.

Isn't that amazing? Yep. And now, so now you have in New York City, your vacancy rate, 23%. Vacant. Nobody in them. On average, in the United States and the cities, it's a little over 20% vacancy rate. Now let's go to the occupancy rate, meaning people going back to work. You go to Castle Systems with a K.

It's about 50%. All right, now let's go back to banks go bust. Let's say I'm one of these big corporations that own these buildings. I'm losing tenants. $4 trillion of commercial real estate debt is coming due between now and 2026. $4 trillion. I don't have any tenants now. I lost all these tenants. How am I going to pay off my loan?

Oh, my loan, by the way, now, they're interest rate loans. It's double what it was when I bought the building. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The banks are going to go bust. No one's talking about this. A site that I recommend people go to is called Wall Street on Parade. Pam and Russ Martins.

They put the facts in there about the bankster bandits like nobody else does. Let's go back a year ago, a little over a year ago last march when the silicon conman valley bank went bust then first republic and signature went bust look what it did to gold prices and the markets the markets went way down, gold prices went up. That was three banks. Now, the number of banks, according to a report that just came out, over 30 banks are facing disaster. And I've seen as much as almost 282 banks, small, medium, and large, are facing financial crisis because of the office building bust,

which was one of our top trends that we'd forecast back in May of 2020 when they started locking down the country. Yeah, I remember that. I remember that. I remember that. Now, if they lower interest rates before the election, is that going to help to kick the can down the road a little bit with this commercial real estate stuff? No, it won't. So it's not going to be an incentive for them to lower the rates because they're talking about, well, we're going to leave the rates.

This is back and forth. And I guess with the stock market going up as well as gold, I guess the market is expecting that they're going to lower the rates, right? Yeah, they're going to lower rates. They're going to lower rates in the run-up to the election to juice the economy. Excuse me. Here. It's just some articles recently.

Where is it? I just had one here about the... Well, here we go. The backbone of America's economy was just dealt a serious blow. That's the headline on May 15th in CNN, the Cartoon News Network. Last month, retail sales were unchanged in March, and it goes, April spending missed the 0.4% increase that economists had projected. By comparison, a year ago, retail sales, they're down,

but by sector, the biggest monthly increase in spending was at gas stations, where sales were up 3.7%. And they go on to say that, you know, the retail sales are going down. And how much of that sales going up is that that's all price. Exactly. All raising price of the gasoline. It's not that people are buying more of it. No. Yeah.

And then they go, consumers are also taking a lot more debt to support their spending. And the New York, notably the percentage of credit card balances, ready? Mm-hmm. In serious delinquencies has climbed to the highest level since 2012. Oh, 2012? Yeah. The Great Recession? Yeah, yeah.

I bought a building, you ready? In 2012, and you were up here in Kingston. Yeah. On the most historic four corners 1763 building 1763 beautiful stone building

in perfect shape I bought it in foreclosure 2012 now you're looking at credit card delinquency rates back to the level of the Great Recession. So what's going on, you're looking at this. Walmart says more diners are buying its groceries as fast food gets pricey. And Walmart's, you know, their profits went up and they're saying that

it's roughly 4.3 times more expensive to eat out than it is to eat at home. And foot traffic to limited service change, which includes

fast foods and fast casual restaurants, fell 3.5% in the first quarter. That's according to Revenue Management Solutions. So now Walmart also says that, you ready? This is CNBC. Walmart on Thursday topped quarterly earnings and revenue expectations as the discountounter made significant e-commerce gains, drove profits with newer business like advertising, ready? And won over more high-income shoppers. High-income shoppers have to go to Walmart. High-income shoppers.

Yeah. So people can't afford it. And I've been to Walmart, you ready? Two times in the last 20 years. I can't stand going into these ugly factories. Yeah. That's what it's like. When I was a young man, there were places called Lord & Taylor's, all these beautiful, beautiful stores where people were

dressed up and elegant and and now that's a bunch of crap and the people look like crap that go in there and they're buying crap yeah absolutely yeah the uh the dollar you know when we look at this and and what do we see from both of these clowns who are running? We've got Donald Duck and we've got Goofy running for this. And so Trump is talking about how we've got to weaken the dollar. The path to prosperity is a weak dollar, and it's going to be tax cuts for the uber-wealthy and the big corporations, just like he did the first time through. Demanding that we've got zero interest rates and quantitative easing and tax cuts for the people at the very top. And, of course, I remember you talking about that as well. You said it's not going to trickle down and it didn't, it didn't trickle down.

And so on the other end, we've got Biden who wants to raise taxes, wants to raise regulations and wants to strangle everything. I mean, we're at the national level. There really isn't any solution, is it? It's just a pick your poison. Going back to Trump, he saw Trump promised three things. And I believed him, by the way, in the beginning. I didn't know he was going to lie like this. He promised three things.

To rebuild the rotted infrastructure. To lower taxes and to stop the flow of cheap labor migrants coming in cheap labor basically and again just to stay on the migrant issue they're letting them come in because they need cheap labor you go to any of the stores, you go to the Targets, the Walmarts, I don't go to Walmarts, but Marshalls, HomeGoods, you walk in any of these places, signs, help wanted, help wanted. Because they're paying the people nothing. We just plantation workers of slave land here, so they need cheap labor. So going back to, and that's why they let him come in. Going back to Trump with his tax cuts, that's the only thing he did.

The infrastructure is rotted crap, didn't do anything. And you mentioned it, and you could go to Tax Policy Center to prove it. The 1% got 64% of the benefits of the tax cuts from Trump. And he spewed out the crap that from the tax cuts, they were going to use that money for capital improvements to build up the economy. You know what happened? The tax cuts thing in, it came in 2017 in 2018 was a record year of stock buybacks.

Yes. They use that money to buy back to stocks to drive up the value of their. I remember us talking about that. Yeah. And if we go back and we look at it, one of the things he was saying at the time, he said, you're going to see the average household income go up by $4,000, up to nine thousand dollars and of course we know it didn't at all as a matter

of fact because inflation went down uh but um you know that was the the the narrative that was sold to people don't worry i'm giving all this money to my friends uh but they'll trickle down on you it's kind of like dennis the minute sign that you see everywhere that that kind of trickle down on you. It's kind of like Dennis the Menace sign that you see everywhere. That kind of trickles down economics. So again, going back to gold, this is, again, there's danger. Matter of fact, even Jamie Dimon, the guy can't stand an arrogant nobody. Again, the Goldman Sachs gang. Convicted.

Convicted. Yeah. Again, we go to Wall Street on parade. Convicted. JPMorgan Chase of five felonies. Five felonies. Hey, I don't go to jail. Don't you know who I am?

Yeah, but if you went to 10 miles, you're going too fast. Pull over. Stand on your head. Repeat the alphabet backwards. You're going too fast. Pull over. Stand on your head. Repeat the alphabet backwards. You're going to jail. You were 0.11% over the drinking limit. You go to jail. The little people of Slave Land, all of us, to the fullest, they connect us.

Yeah, to the letter of the law and beyond. Absolutely. Yeah. Yep. It's just amazing. Going back, even he's warning about the debt level. Just came out yesterday, warning about the United States debt level.

So this is a crisis ahead. Again, when interest rates go down, it's going to be the beginning of the death of the dollar. And you're seeing the bricks. You see what's going. I the beginning of the death of the dollar. And you're seeing the bricks. You see what's going. I mean, Russia and China. Putin's over there in China now. Let's get this in our head.

If there was a war, Russia and China versus the United States and NATO, who do you think is going to win? Yeah. Oh, yeah. I know. Who do you think is going to win? I know. Yeah.

The United States hasn't won a war since World War II. I mean, this last week, we just had a story about, you know, the way the Russians just walked into Kharkiv. Why? Well, and some of the Ukrainian generals were talking about it. They said they stole all the money that was supposed to be used for fortifications, right?

They had $150 million that was supposed to be fortifications for that city. Nothing was done. You know, the French had their Maginot Line, which was totally, you know, oh, we're going to stop the Germans from coming into France again. They just flew over it, right?

And so everybody mocks that, you know, and they couldn't turn the guns around, all the rest of the stuff. But in Ukraine, they didn't have a Maginot line. They had an imaginary line. It wasn't there because the criminals made off with all the money. They gave it to a bunch of corporations that never existed before. And the local journalist there in said um the people who created these corporations to get the money had a long criminal record i mean they just got the mafia and the mob

and they're taking all of the money it's just all organized crime that's what all of ukraine is it's just a massive uh black hole to pour money into organized crime and always has been one of the most corrupt countries everybody says it left and right crime. It always has been one of the most corrupt countries. Everybody says it, left and right. They said that Ukraine is one of, if not the most corrupt country on earth. Again, those are the facts that came out of from the European Union calling it the most corrupt country, and the latest poll out of Ukraine, 89% of the Ukrainian people after the war, corruption.

Yeah, yeah. So the people know how bad it is. But of course, you got these little clown boys stealing our money taxpayer money to keep sending it to ukraine we're just sending them more billions and billions oh you see that little arrogant little boy who's our secretary uh of state anthony blinken playing guitar with them a lot of people likened him to uh Stupid crap. Did you see that little arrogant? Yeah, yeah. Don't you know who I am?

My daddy was ambassador to Hungary. My uncle was the ambassador to Belgium. I went to Dalton. I went to Harvard. Don't you know who I am? I'm Anthony Blinken, a little boy of nothing. Yeah. Yeah, so many people are comparing him to a nero you know nero had a fiddle um he fiddled while rome was burning uh blinken is playing electric guitar ukraine is

burning i mean that's it's ridiculous what is happening with it it's just it's it's almost like a parody it's crazy it's a freak show yeah and the freaks are there for everybody to see yeah yeah oh who do you like i i like that guy sunak over there in in the uk look at that little clown boy how about the one before boris johnson the best cartoonist in the world could not come out with a clown yes i yeah bojo the clown that's what they absolutely amazing he had everything but the red nose you know if he'd just drink a little bit more he'd be perfect but uh yeah when when you look at um zielinski he's blamed the entire world for their failures in car key i guess the entire world stole that money i mean the entire world is giving him money they they they just rip it off and don't do anything with it and but we're all to blame for that but you

know we look at all of this stuff it just one more thing about the inflation thing gerald which i thought really hit home with me when i saw the headline and uh you know in terms of thinking about gold it's uh when gasoline is a hundred dollars gallon. And the guy says, and of course, you know, maybe if you want to get higher octane, you pay $130 a gallon. And stop and think about that. You know, go back a few. I thought about that and I thought, you know,

what would my parents have thought of the price of this or that today, you know? And we're in for another major round of inflation. Like we saw at the end of the 1970s, there's so many structural problems. You know, we got the oil issue, but then we got a lot of other things. And not only that, but we have our own government, which is trying to sabotage our economy and the price of oil. It's not the Arabs this time that's trying to do it.

But I looked at that and I thought, you know, there's absolutely no way that you're going to be able to afford gasoline at $100 per gallon unless you've got something that's going to help us to preserve whatever wealth that we have at this point in time. And that's going to be gold. It really is. You can look you can look at the Bitcoin stuff, but, you know, I look at things, and if I don't really understand it very well, I feel like it makes it easier for somebody to rip me off. You know, you can get ripped off with anything. That's one of the things you learn as you get older, right? But, you know, when I look at something that I don't completely understand that it's complicated, it makes it a lot easier for somebody to steal it from me. We've had situations where a billionaire was contacted by somebody and said, hey, this was you, right?

I'm looking at this whale that sold nearly a million dollars worth of stuff. Why did you do that? And he goes, I didn't know that was taken out of my account. If that can happen to somebody who's got that kind of money, it's like I can't afford that kind of loss in anything, and I can't afford $100 a gallon gasoline. And so when I saw this, Gerald, I looked at the record comparing the price of gold to oil, which I thought was interesting because it kind of took the dollar out.

I mean, the dollar was the extra dimension there because it's looking at both of them priced in dollars but versus each other and you can see they're tracking each other pretty pretty closely uh there'd be one particular event where it'd be a short spike where it would get out but other than that uh and it would come back down you know but other than that the two of them were pretty much tracking each other all along and the overall shape of that curve was uh set up by the price of the arbitrary price of the fiat dollar but the fact but what was interesting was how close to each other they really were when you look at real stuff when you look at gold or you look at oil the the real uh stuff that's there it's very different from the fiat dollar isn't it

yeah yeah again you know this is the beginning of it here's another thing with this um israel war going on and the crimes being committed in front of everybody's eyes the um if the arab nations put an embargo on oil that'll spike oil prices up beyond $130 a barrel for Brent crude. And that'll crash the global economy and the equity markets. Yeah, yeah. And they did that, of course, back in 1973. And you were talking about the inflation back then. And you remember the days when they were long lines

all around everywhere even in odd to get into a gas station yeah even odd tags you couldn't even get in line if you didn't have an odd tag on this day or an even tag on that yeah yeah so this is very serious that uh what's going on over there and And again, they're going to, they're going to going back. One of my sayings is when all else fails, they take you to war. Yes. Yes. And they're going to keep ramping this war stuff up.

Yeah. There's no question about it. Yeah. You've been saying that for a very long time. I saw several people put out an article that was a Martin Armstrong saying, uh, you know, with a dollar collapsing,

they're going to take us to war, which is what you've always said. When everything fails, they take us to war. And what is failing is their financial system. They can't sustain it with the kind of debt that they've got, the kind of debt that is debt growth that you talked about that's happening there. Truly, yeah.

This is another article. Japan's shrinking economy hints at stagflationary risk. This is yesterday from Bloomberg. Japan's lack of growth over the last three quarters points to a risk of a sputtering economy. The latest data shows the world's fourth largest economy, you ready, has failed to grow since the spring of last year as the strongest inflation in generations weighs on consumer spending. Yeah, that's right.

Now, it's not stagflation. Again, one of our top trends for 2024 is dragflation. The economy is going to drag down. It's not going to stagnate. And inflation is going to go up. Yeah, that's right. It doesn't mean that they're going to put Rachel Levine in charge of the Treasury.

Dragflation. Not that dragflation. And by the way, you were being racist too when you said we're going down a black hole yeah exactly it's uh it truly is a crazy time that we're living in as a matter of fact you know as everything seems to come back in a slightly different way one of the things i saw while we're talking about oil uh somebody did an article saying the falcon islands might become the most valuable piece of real estate in the world. It's like, what?

And it was all based on the fact that there is so much oil in Antarctica. And because of where, you know, they have the lines drawn, all the rest of the stuff, you know, we could wind up war over oil just in antarctica because it's got so much that's that's there uh just dwarfs any of the other reserves that they found uh but you know it's kind of a pie-shaped thing with all these different countries have got a piece of the pie but um you know falklands might give them actually a place to get in there and i thought well that creates an interesting dynamic with Javier Millay there in the UK. But I can imagine him fighting over that. But that's the reality of this stuff, you know, that it keeps coming back, and it keeps coming back to real things.

It keeps coming back to real things like oil. It keeps coming back to real things like gold. Because all of this stuff about electric vehicles, people are seeing it for the fraud that it is the fact that it's a technology that is not sustainable it's not green even by their definitions of green and so you now got a lot of people saying hey this is going to destroy everything and they're starting to take a couple of steps back but not biden of course he wants to go full on but as that comes back we're're going to start to see other things like that.

But it makes me laugh because the big narrative when OPEC hit us was we don't have any oil. We're going to be out of oil by the mid-80s. And I saved the magazine covers from Time and Newsweek talking about how we're going to be out of oil and natural gas by the mid-80s. I knew that was a lie then. And that was what lie then and and that was what they were pushing with this peak oil thing it appears that there is no peak oil so now they have to say we've got to you know get rid of it because of cow farts or whatever it's just insane no you're right yeah this week i by the way this week i i i covered a story where

um there's a new company got a lot lot of venture capital funding from a Gates organization. I think a vaccine against car cow farts. And how can you get more politically correct than that? Excuse me. The going back to EVs, one of our top trends for 2024. EVs go one of our top trends for 2024. EVs go F you. We've been saying, going back to when this whole EV thing started, it was a fraud.

Your batteries is an invention that was created in 1800. This is not high tech and you're seeing again you know the lithium all of what to get this stuff and and they're not again when you when you have when you look at all the data they're not uh environmentally friendly that's right So going back to the EVs, it's, it's a fraud. And there's, you know,

now you're looking again at the hybrids. That's where the growth is going to continue and not in the EV sector. And so, again, the people have no clue what's going on because the mainstream media is just selling the narrative from the government. Yeah. And the corporations. The corporations own the mainstream media. That's right.

That's right. And, you know, back in Thomas Edison and Henry Ford tried to do an electric car. The thing that defeated them was battery technology. Yeah. Back in Thomas Edison and Henry Ford tried to do an electric car. The thing that defeated them was battery technology. And here we are. We still don't have a battery technology that can charge quickly and has a long life and all the rest of that stuff. But the thing that is amazing to me, Gerald, is how deliberate this all is to try to coerce us into electric everything at the same time that you've got the EPA coming after power plants and shutting them down. And of course, that's about de-industrializing the West

and moving everything to China and to India. That's really the agenda that is there. It's amazing to me that people can't see it. Of course, the mainstream media is not going to report it because they're part of that globalist agenda. But that is the key issue is just deindustrialization of the West and to transfer the economies of the manufacturing economies to China and India. Because if you don't have cheap energy, you can't manufacture anything. But they also want to force us to put our cooking, our heating, our transportation, everything on electric grid that they're destroying.

Even the diesel trucks. I mean, now finally you've got a lot of state attorneys general pushing back on Biden and the EPA because they're coming after diesel trucks. Now, there's nothing waiting in the wings to replace the diesel trucks. They're just going to shut these things down because they don't have the capability with these electric diesel trucks to get this stuff going. Yeah. You know,

you were talking about the media ready. This is an article yesterday's front page of the toilet paper record, the New York times. They call themselves the paper record, but it's only good to wipe your thing with. Bite at NBC over left tilt from MSNBC. MSNBC placed a big bet on becoming comfort TV for liberals. That's good. Then it doubled down.

Okay, let's go back to this. For liberals, look up the definition of a liberal. Yeah. A liberal is an open-minded person that doesn't take a position on anything and lets people be who they want. But they've redefined liberals. It should read, NBC placed a big bet on becoming comfort TV for lib times because they're, they're retarded little jerks that believe in their crap.

Anyway, time slots on the cable network once devoted to news programming are now occupied by Trump bashing opinion hosts. The channel has become a landing spot for high profile alumni of president Biden's administration, like Jen Psaki, who went from hosting white house press briefings to hosting her own show. Yeah.

That is the mainstream. Oh, then you got that other arrogant little boy, Stephanopoulos. Hey, I'm Stephanopoulos. I sucked up the butt of Bill Clinton. Don't you remember when I was there? That's who the media is. They're little prostitutes. They're gutless little boys and girls who put out for their corporate pimps

and their government whoremasters. Oh, yeah. And that's why you subscribe to the Trends Journal. We give you the truth in trends. That's right. We have no advertisers. Zero. Nobody tells us what to do.

All of the media is controlled by the corporations who get their money in from advertising. You go to MSNBC and you listen to libtard crap. Go to Fox and listen to repulsive crap. Don't listen to the truth. Be stupid. Keep your mind the size of a pea and swallow the crap. Oh, you better close down your business because I'm the governor and we're

fighting the COVID war and stand six feet apart. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And don't forget to put the mask on. Oh yeah. These masks. You remember these? You forgot about these?

Yeah. Yeah. That's right. You know, they had in Florida and in another jurisdiction, they are using Ku Klux Klan laws now to say that you can't, can't have a mask out in public. And it was only four years ago that they're coming after people. Can't people see this Simon Says stuff and how ridiculous it is? It's amazing to me.

But, you know, you're right. I love that term that you're talking about, comfort TV. And that's really what it's become. The media has divided into two different groups of comfort TV. And they tell people what will comfort them. You like Trump? I'll tell you how great Trump is. You're like Biden.

We'll talk about, you know, his great programs and all the rest of this stuff. Yeah. And so the, you've got the media understands that there's an audience out there that is a demographic. They think they can make money serving.

And so they tell them information that is comforting, but you don't do that. You know, as you pointed out before, many times we've talked about something. He said, I don't really like this, but this is what's going to happen. You know, and you have to have that honesty.

You have to, the way you do it in trends journal, you tell people, this is, um, you know, I'm not saying this because I want this to happen. I don't want this to happen, but this is what's going to happen. And you need to prepare for it. And that's the important thing. Uh, not to just give people a false sense of comfort uh just to uh curry favor with them because uh you're you're massaging their bias you know yeah no again that's what journalism used to be yeah exactly yeah used to call it the fourth estate you had

the judicial the executive branch the congressional, the judicial branch, and journalism was the fourth estate to oversee those three other estates and report on what they're doing. They don't do that anymore. They fired everybody. You look at the numbers. The corporations own all of the newspapers and everything. Consolidation. It's all consolidation.

They used to say that the role was to comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. But now they just want everybody to be comfortable with their news. And so they pick a demographic and they tell them, you know, this is what we want you to be comfortable. And I never really particularly thought that was a good definition of journalism anyway. I thought the important thing was to tell the truth. You're there and your job is to find information and then to tell the people who are busy with other things in their life don't have the time to go find, and to tell them the truth about what you found

and tell them why you think that. That's the other thing, too. I don't like this whole idea that, oh, we're objective media. There is no objective media. Just what they choose to report shows a bias. Again, you have six companies that control, what, 92% of the media. Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Yeah. Brought to you by that slime ball that every time he got caught with his pants down, bombs away over Baghdad, Bill Clinton. That's right. 1996 Federal Communications Act. That's right. That destroyed it. The bigs took over everything. Let me let me ask you this because you know we're looking at Trump has not done a VP pick yet and I've looked at this and you know there's this massive CO2 pipeline. Now if ever there was a unicorn fart boondoggle this is it they're going to pump co2 whether they extract it out of

the air or whether they extract it out of certain processes they're going to pump it across the country in this massive pipeline that's going to use eminent domain to destroy a lot of people's private property so they can inject it into the ground and the people who were really big into it are the governors of North and South Dakota, Kristi Noem and Doug Burgum, who used to be, both of them are pretty high up in the vice presidential sweepstakes. Now she's basically got herself out of the running. But the two of them hanging around Trump a lot, especially now Burgum, because he's got so much money. He's got a lot of connections to all the Microsoft people to Balmer and Gates and stuff. Actually, he was worked for Microsoft for a while.

But the you have that. And then you got the CEO of this company. If I remember correctly, it's called Summit. I haven't talked about it for a while. But, you know, he's at Mar-a-Lago with all of these guys. I mean, nobody is talking about trump's connections to the green steel uh pretty obvious what biden is doing but trump seems to be connected to that as well don't you think yeah you know again trump is all about money yep that's all he's ever been about that's right again

he's another daddy's boys his father left him over almost a half a billion dollars, him and his brothers and sisters. By the way, I had lunch with his brother, Robert, who passed away back in 2017. Anyway, he's a daddy's boy. He didn't make any of this money on his own. Look at all the money he's lost and you know people forget about trump about how he how they used to screw all of the contractors out of their last payments and everything you know and yeah yeah and the guy's he's a nobody again an arrogant an arrogant an arrogant nothing how did his brother robert strike you and how did you um he was you know as my

and zidzi you know one of my books what zizi gave honey boy this one over here zizi's the neapolitan dialect for auntie if i if if i zizi would have said like asking the question you asked she would have said eh he would have passed in a crowd that's a good one i like that he was a nice guy but you know yeah nothing nothing extraordinary about yeah he passed in the crowd he was very nice you know bought us, you know, he, for him, he, he would rather have seen his brother not run for president. Yeah. I think his wife would have rather seen that as well. I think it's several people in this family would have, but, uh, not, not Tim and his sons seem to be all on board with it, but certainly Melania's not. How about his son-in-law there, Jared Kushner?

Oh, yeah. I'm sure he was happy that he ran for president, wasn't he? You know what Jared Kushner, let me see if I can find it over here. Let me see. Here it is. This is, again, the definition of genocide. The deliberate and systematic destruction of a group of people because

of their ethnicity, nationality, religion or race with being committed by definition in Gaza is genocide and if you don't believe me this is from Jared Kushner

speaking at Harvard Jared Kushner speaking at Harvard. Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump's son-in-law, made comments describing waterfront property in the Gaza Strip as, quote, valuable. You ready? Yeah. This is, quote, it's a little bit of an unfortunate situation there. Unfortunate situation? A little bit. Just a little bit.

You bought the place into ruins. People have lost their homes, their businesses. They're living in tents. You have a crisis A humanitarian crisis But it's an unfortunate situation But you ready From Israel's perspective I would do my best

To move the people Out of there And clean it up He said The Palestinian civilians Should be moved into the negev desert can you imagine this yeah well you know maybe he's got a he's got a um a real marketing uh idea here because you know in florida uh they have changed the assessment they had a during one of these storms they had an old building that collapsed.

So they went back and they really went up on the, um, the building codes are going to have inspections and all this other kind of stuff. So people are looking at six figure assessments. Uh, so in other words, they have a, um, inspection and they might come in and assess each of these condo owners,100,000 or more. And that's more than it's worth. So maybe these people will bail out and go to Jared Kushner's new condos that he's got in those areas. Maybe it works out for him that way.

But isn't that amazing? And, of course, that's government regulation that is coming in. Nobody's going to be allowed to determine what their own level of risk that they're going to accept. No, you will build it to our standards, our new standards, and kind of retroactively enact these building codes to, to kick people out of their homes.

To me, that's one of the most outrageous things I've seen anywhere. And you're talking about Miami. Isn't that where Netanyahu's son is hiding? Yeah, probably. Yeah. Yeah. Probably. As, as, asahu's son is hiding? Yeah, probably. Yeah. Yeah.

Probably. Yeah. As, as, as the other guys are going to fighting and dying. Yeah. And the guy now again, again,

with genocide by the definition, this is from the Israeli newspaper. We must settle Gaza. Now Netanyahu ministers march to Gaza to demand Palestinian expulsion. National Security Minister Ben-Giv called for Israel to encourage immigration, emigration, meaning pushing them out, of Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

And of course, our friend Machiavelli and Mike Johnson snuck in $3.5 billion for relocation. Is that to bring them here? I mean, certainly, I would not put it past them to not put a dime in our border and to spend millions or billions of dollars to bring the Palestinians here. I would think that would be absolute. He is so America last.

It is unbelievable what Machiavelli and Mike is about. Look at this little jerk. Look at this little clown boy. Again, I make this very clear. Anybody that supports the Ukraine war, the Israel war, go over there, take your wife, your kids, your transgenders, go over there and fight, take your money, or shut your mouth. Yeah, yeah.

Every politician that supports this war, go over there and fight, or shut your mouth. Yeah, yeah. that supports this war, go over there and fight or shut your mouth. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. When we look at, we just had a listener earlier say in Louisiana, it's become known that he is basically trying to throw away, you know, pro-life issue, which is something that he's always nailed himself to, right? Oh, I'm a conservative, which is something that he's always nailed himself to, right? Oh,

I'm a conservative, I'm a Christian, and so forth. But, you know, there isn't anything that he won't do in order to win, just like he flipped on Ukraine. You know, he's not pro-life, he's pro-war, he's pro-abortion, he's the opposite of everything that he ever sold himself to be, and he just flips the switch on these things even though he he nails it down and he's going to uh he's gonna now i'm gonna fund ukraine i wasn't gonna do that before i became speaker but uh now i'm gonna fund it but you're gonna have to put money in the border and then immediately he just flips that off too because it's all about him winning isn't it you know why he's doing this you know i do podcasts with judge andrew napolitano you look at some of the stuff about this guy about his sexual behavior and other kind of things that have happened

napolitano made it very clear they got a lot of crap on this guy and they have a lot of crap on all these politicians yeah probably doing what they're doing yeah the fbi the cia they got a lot of garbage on these garbage men yeah that's right that's why they're doing what they're doing well you know uh we had jagger hoover he had files on everybody and um you know uh truman talked about that as well uh but um oh you look at dennis hastert you know dennis hastert the longest speaker of the house that they had, at least for Republicans. I don't know if it was for the Democrats as well. But Dennis Hastert was a pedophile and wrestling coach.

And they picked him to run for Congress. And then they put him in as Speaker of the House simply because he was a pedophile. Yep. Yeah. Yeah. I think that is absolutely the case, I think. And that's one of the reasons why, you know, we're not going anything solved by uh putting our hopes on rome on the potomac i mean it's people it doesn't matter what what uh how they dress themselves up how they present themselves they're all a bunch of

little caligulas up there i think you know i get i get criticized because i you know i was raised catholic but the catholic church to me has nothing to do with what, you know, about Jesus Christ. You know, we're all the priests protesting for peace, right? Well, they're going to have the, the Pope's going to, he's done his encyclicals on the climate stuff and says today he's going to cover space aliens.

Yeah. So to me, the Catholic Church has declined from what Jesus Christ, and I'm a warrior for the Prince of Peace, just as the United States does not represent anything from our founding fathers who gave us the Bill of Rights and the Constitution. That's right there's no relationship between then and then and now and in most religions again where are the quakers where they all die in an earthquake how come they're now that they're protesting seventh day adventists waiting for the eighth day you know where where where are all the religions oh in god we trust what god oh you're talking about the pro-life oh i'm pro-life but i'm also pro-war what are you talking about yeah yeah exactly what are you talking about yeah yeah and then uh you know uh where were they when um they were told they

couldn't meet you know oh yeah okay let's let's shut everything down it truly is amazing you know what we have seen but um you know they're not all that way there are some that are that are uh out there but it's um it is interesting to see how the institutions all of our institutions political religious you name it educational they've all been um you know corrupted and a lot of this is is a deliberate thing uh you know it was a strategy of the marxist and the from the mid-20th century on to have a long march through the institutions and they pretty much have done that uh they've successfully marched through the institutions and taken pretty much have done that uh they've successfully marched through the institutions and taken them over from the top down we're rotting and it's

really kind of a marxist uh march that uh is responsible for that i think to a large degree they've been very successful look at this crap coming out that if you're against the the israel war you're an anti-semitic yeah yeah what are you kidding me and as i said before you know how is that going to be defined it's going to be defined by non-governmental organization and they've got their definition of what anti-semitism is and so they don't even bother in their legislation to do it they don't kick it over to a bureaucracy which would be bad enough i mean congress doesn't do their job anymore but they kicked it off to a non-governmental organization. You know, a foreign organization is going to tell us what we can and cannot do.

Look, I'm all for them cutting all the funds to the universities for what the universities are doing. But that's the only thing they care about. And this is from Aharetz. Interior Department staffer becomes first Jewish Biden appointee to publicly resign over the war in Gaza. This woman by the name of Lily Greenberg called, quote, I can no longer in good conscience continue to represent this administration. Admits President Biden's disastrous continued support for Israel's genocide in Gaza, she wrote. Yeah. This is a Jewish woman.

I guess she's an anti-Semite. Yeah, yeah. Well, I talked about the ultra-Orthodox don't approve it. They don't approve of, and you got nearly half of the people who don't approve of Netanyahu. And yet what they've done is they've folded in a foreign political entity and defined that as if to criticize that foreign political entity is the same as criticizing an ethnic group of people. And so that's the real fundamental lie that is there. But it truly is amazing to me that they don't have a problem with any of the other stuff

that is happening in the schools that are really truly rotting our country with everything that they're doing whether you're talking about crt or dei or any of this stuff they don't care about any of that that's the only thing that they care about and it truly is uh it's beyond annoying i am just so disgusted with a vast majority of republicans you know every congress person here in t here in Tennessee voted in favor of that, Gerald. I don't know. I mean, if there's somebody from a Constitution Party or something running for Congress, I guess I'll vote for that. Otherwise, I'll just mark my ballot up so nobody else can fill it in because I'm not going to vote up.

I'm not going to vote for any Republican who did anything like that or Democrat. It's just absolutely amazing. Well, we're nearly out of time. I just want to remind people again that you can get a trends journal. I use the code night to save 10% excellent publication. Gerald, you've always been so far ahead of the curve. And as you point out, sometimes the stuff that you tell us is not very comforting, but you try to tell us the truth as best as you can, and you really nail it. So I really do appreciate you coming on and always have appreciated your foresight and all of this stuff.

And I'll just mention also, since we've been talking about gold and what a great investment is Tony Arderman and at David Knight dot gold. He set that up to take you to wise Wolf gold. Take a look at that good way to accumulate that on a regular basis. He's got a regular buying club there. Plus he'll handle larger, small transactions or your IRA, any of that kind of stuff.

Uh, because a hundred dollar a gallon, uh, gasoline is on its way. We don't know exactly the time, but, there's going to be a lot of sticker shock. That's going to be there in a lot of different areas.

Thank you so much for joining us, Gerald. Oh, and thank you. And thank you for all you do and the great guests that you have on of different areas. Thank you so much for joining us, Gerald. Oh, and thank you, and thank you for all you do and the great guests that you have on. Thank you. Thanks so much. Thank you so much.

Have a great weekend, Gerald, everybody else also, and hopefully we'll see you all on Monday. Okay. Thank you. I got some... The Common Man. They created Common core to dumb down our children.

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.
