Music Using free speech to free minds. You're listening to The David Knight Show. As the clock strikes 13, it's Friday the 1st of March, year of our Lord, 2024. Well, today we're going to take a look at what is happening with food, for example. We not only have a major fire in Texas, which is going to have a significant impact on the availability of beef. We also have Letitia James going after a beef processor in the name of climate change. One of the most politicized social climbers I've seen anywhere in the world. And even here in Tennessee, we have a law that is introduced that would require labeling if they decide to try to vaccinate us through our food which of course they've been talking about doing for two years

very much like the geoengineering law that you know notification here in Tennessee as well as in New Hampshire I think New Hampshire had it first stay Stay with us. We'll be right back. Well, I've not talked about it up to this point. Massive fire in Texas. And you know this will be used to say, well, it's climate change or whatever. It's the way the left will use it. But it is going to have an impact on what we eat. And interestingly enough, it's now the largest fire in Texas history. And of course, everything in Texas is big.

This is as large an area as the state of Rhode Island. But, you know, interestingly enough, the Biden administration wants to take off limits to food production. Something like 50 million acres. And it is massive. I mean, it is the size of several states, not just Rhode Island, several medium-sized states that they want to take out of production and use as solar farms, solar farms. But in terms of this fire, it's kind of interesting. They call it smoke house Creek wildfire. They have, um, before we moved to Texas about a year before

we moved to Texas, there was a big fire and a bass drop, Texas. There was a large park that I think probably was, um, very um very pretty when um before it burned down but it started on public lands and it burned something like 96 97 percent of the public park that was there it was a park that was very different from the surrounding area. During the FDR, Great Depression, public works stuff, they paid a lot of people to plant trees. And, you know, after about 70 or 80 years, there were a lot of really big pines. They called it the lost pine area. By the time we got there, the pines were lost, lost to fire, lost to negligence and bad management from the federal government that just leaves dead wood there. As a matter of fact, after that fire, lost to negligence and bad management from the federal government that just leaves

dead wood there. As a matter of fact, after that fire, they started cautioning private property owners, you need to clean up dead wood that's there because it could be a fire hazard. It's like, yeah, we noticed. Notice that you didn't do that. And of course, it wasn't limited to simply the forest forest just as i was talking a couple of days ago to todd myers out of the washington state um public policy institute that was there he wrote a book called wrote down here time to think small and he touched on that as well the mismanagement of public lands and how that threatens private lands happened here

in Tennessee. They had, because, and this was unprecedented, they tried to say, well, it's climate change. No, it's the way that you have changed and not done stewardship. And it accumulates over a long period of time time and it got out of control and burned down a lot of homes and private property as well uh here in tennessee and so when it happened in bass drive we talked to a lot of the people there were a lot of people lost their homes and it really was we used to drive through the park um what used to be the park because it had uh had a had a nice road in it that people didn't typically use but it was just this charred wasteland really kind of anyway um

not really a pleasant experience what about the best we could do uh under the circumstances there in texas there are some forests that have not been that have not burned down in Texas, in East Texas, but that was not one of them. And when it happened, there were a lot of cattle farms that got torched as well as it got outside the government's land. And people said it smelled like barbecue. Made me think of this when I saw Smokehouse Creek wildfire. Because it is a big cattle raising area. Really strong winds. The fire is moving at a very rapid rate.

But I wanted to talk about this because of what a rancher had to say about how it was going to affect the price of beef. And what we might think about doing with this in terms of connecting with local farmers and ranchers and getting around the retail stores you know the retail stores that are going to require that you have a biometric id and you pay by cbdc and that type of thing you know now it's time to wake up and to start finding local farms and ranches to help them survive so that you'll have a place to eat, so that you'll have better quality food, and so that all the profits are not taken by the retail chains. By now, you guys have heard about the fires going on in Texas.

Over half a million acres have burned so far. What a tragedy. It's now 1.1 million. It's a fortune for the families that are ranching there. A lot of people don't understand that that's one more hit to our nation's food supply chain. We are already in a very vulnerable position. And the lowest cattle numbers we've seen since 1950 were down like a billion pounds in beef in the country, which means they're going to have to import more, which doesn't help the local producers,

which continues to weaken our food supply chain. We're not even into summer yet and dealing with whatever droughts may show up now. So here's what you can do. Find your local farmers and ranchers and have their back. Make sure that they know they're growing their food or raising their food for somebody in America that cares. What we can do is change the way we source our food. Leave the existing grocery supply chain where they get the retail dollar and go to our farmers and ranchers, shake their hand, and make sure they get the retail dollar. That's to our farmers and ranchers, shake their hand, and make sure they get the retail dollar.

That's how we can secure our food supply chain and also end up making it better for not just the producers, but our families and our environment. If you're not sure how to connect with those farmers and ranchers, we're going to be able to help you at fromthefarm.io. We're onboarding producers now, and we go live in a couple of days. All right. So, yeah i i went to that site left my they look for your your name uh whether you're a producer or a consumer and then they're going to notify you give them the zip code and an email so they can get in touch with you so just an email in your zip code, and they find if there are farmers who sell direct in your area.

Great idea. It is not that they haven't, they're not making the connections yet, but again, you can leave your email there and they can let you know. It's a great idea. And that's what we need to be doing. And as he talked about that, it's it's spreading so rapidly he said 500,000 acres now 1.1 million acres and as they pointed out devastating video footage revealed cattle burned to death in the aftermath of the fire sweeping across texas one clip shows scattered

bodies of cattle that died due to the flames that are spreading at an average of 150 football fields per minute. You can't even comprehend how fast this fire is spreading. 150 football fields a minute. That's insane. Truly is insane. By the way, we'll talk about the arguments back and forth in the Supreme Court over the bump stock. These Supreme Court justices, they should not be making decisions that affect our lives. And of course, they should not be making decisions about our God-given rights.

But they intrude onto that. They know nothing about the Constitution. And as we'll see, they know absolutely nothing about firearms when we talk about rate of fire, but this is a different rate of fire. 150 football fields per minute are being consumed by that fire. They've now had some snow. Hopefully that's going to slow it down. But then warm weather comes back in a day or so. We'll see what happens. Well, we may all be asking where the beef is soon.

As we looked at uh wendy's yesterday they talked about how they're going to do a surge pricing like i said it's going to roll it out as part of their ai they're going to haggle with you over the price when you place your order i guess is that what this is going to be well now they got so much negative press that they came back and tried to walk this back after the ceo had made these comments he didn't use a term surge pricing but by any other name that's what these people are doing so they're arguing over the semantics because this has been a pr disaster and they're still going to do it they said no it's not surge pricing it's dynamic pricing well there you go is that different is that different uh so and they're going to invest 20 million dollars in

digital menus this is one of the reasons why your food is going to go up in price because they're making stupid decisions like this they used to be focused that's why i played that little commercial they used to be focused on product quality Now they're focused on how can we use technology to surveil people and to control them and to manipulate them. You know, maybe we can manipulate them to pay more. Wendy's will not implement surge pricing, which is a practice of raising prices when demands highest.

No, instead they will lower it when demand is lowest semantics there right uh we didn't use that phrase nor do we plan to implement that practice yeah because you know demand pricing or dynamic pricing sounds so much better it's all in the packaging it's all in the labeling uh digital menu boards could allow us to change the menu offerings at different times of day and offer discounts discounts is what they're offering not price gouging and value offers to our customers more easily uh during slower times of the day so i guess they could call it plunge pricing instead of surge pricing demand is plunging so we'll plunge

the prices and then we'll raise them back up when demand surges but don't call it surge pricing uh so they will utilize dynamic pricing which will leverage wendy's fresh ai these have fresh lettuce fresh tomatoes is to talk about their beef being bigger but now they have fresh AI. Well, you know, chat GPT has gotten fresh with a lot of people, hasn't it? When it chats with them, Investopedia defines dynamic pricing as a strategy where companies set flexible prices for their products or services that change according to current market demand.

Dynamic pricing is a common practice in several industries, such as hospitality travel entertainment retail electricity public transport you know the the rent-a-ride things with uber and others they do surge pricing it's dynamic so the confusion says azir hedge is over whether dynamic pricing and surge pricing are actually different terms which wendy claims is the case, but which is a distinction without a difference, quite frankly. And then we have surge politics, or we have dynamic pricing of taxes, depending on who you know. In California, grabbing nuisance, the governor there decided that he was going to raise minimum wage prices

for all fast food restaurants. Or maybe not necessarily fast food, but restaurants. Well, fast food chains, okay, we'll call it that way. And they were going to raise it up to $20 an hour. But then they put in a carve-out for restaurants that bake their own bread and sell their own bread, which sounds like a description for a particular chain that is highly connected to, whose CEO is highly connected to the Democrat Party, especially to nuisance. And that is Panera Bread.

And so everybody's saying, what's going on with this? And the guy who put the law in to raise the minimum wage says, I don't know how that got in there. The law includes an exception for restaurants that bake and sell bread. Panera Bread is owned by Democratic mega-donor Greg Flynn. And so he doesn't have to raise his minimum wage like everybody else does. Isn't that nice? It's good to be friends with the king.

He had previously donated $100,000 to oppose the recall against grabbing nuisance in 2021 because of the things that he had done in 2020. Another one of these COVID tyrants. Then he donated another $64,800 to support the governor's re-election campaign in 2022. He's even admitted to knowing Newsom so personally that he can text him directly. Oh, wow. Hey, can you cut me a deal on this one? Flynn denied having anything to do with the exception for Panera, although other sources have

claimed that it was indeed flynn who pressured newsome i'm sorry nuisance into supporting the carve out the carve out great carving the bread up uh the exception drew criticism even from figures who would not normally be political enemies of Newsom. The head of the National Restaurant Association said, quote, everyone is scratching their heads in reaction to this exception, adding that you may be celebrating or you may be lamenting the bakery exemption. But remember, all of that comes through relationships. Well, yeah, relationships are very important. So you should be supporting this lobbyist group, the National Restaurant Association,

except it wasn't so effective in terms of stopping the price going up. Again, this is one industry they say you've got to raise your minimum wage for that one industry. So, you know, making the fast food restaurants more expensive than other businesses would be. Newsom's push for the exception drew criticism even from the original author of this, and I don't know how that got in there. A spokesperson from McDonald's said the new law would cost each of the company's locations at least $250,000 a year due to the forced pay raise. Well, maybe they ought to start baking bread and selling it at McDonald's. No, don't give them any ideas. I'll use that plastic stuff. But, uh, here, here's the,

here's the, it's going to force them to raise prices, which is what mandated minimum wage increases always do. And, uh, in this particular case, I guess maybe they figure what's going to be limited to stopping people from going out to eat. Even at the, you know, the GMO food restaurants. But all minimum wage does that. It eventually percolates out in higher prices. And so Panera Bread will not have to raise their prices, but the other places will. And then you look at artificial intelligence, as we said before.

You know, Wendy's is going to use this. Well, I may want to think a little bit about this. Matt Taibbi said, you know, he saw all this stuff that was happening with the comical pictures, the racist pictures, showing just how unbelievably biased and racist and hateful Google is towards white people, for example, going to such extraordinary lengths to purge them. And, you know, from places where, yes, this is about white Vikings are black now, you know, that type of thing. And so he said, I thought that was kind of interesting. Now they've shut down the video, the picture part of it for now.

But the other stuff is just as bad. He said he found out that it's actually a massive libel machine. Yes, some other people found that out about OpenAI's chat GPT. But Google is even worse, apparently. And it seemed to have an ax to grind about Matt Taibbi. You know, I always thought, I always liked Matt Taibbi, even though he would write for Rolling Stones for years, and it was a left-leaning magazine. But I always thought that he was fair.

I thought his articles were very well-researched. Matt Taibbi is a good example of why you don't just write off a particular website or a publication or whatever because there's a lot of garbage there you know most of the stuff from rolling stone magazine was absolute garbage and you know in terms of politics and they did get into politics they weren't just about music and so you don't just do a blanket right off of it. As a matter of fact, one of his best articles that I referred to for many, many years was when he was talking about the Obama administration, Eric Holder, deciding not to prosecute HSBC for corruption, even though they've been caught many, many times.

And of course, he could have done the same article about J.P. Morgan. But in particular, he was focusing on a statement by Eric Holder saying that HSBC was too big to prosecute, so it was too big to jail. And he really laid out all the details. So I always thought that Matt was fair. I thought he was, uh, did a lot of, um, hard work, deeply researched his topics and had a lot of information in it. And, uh, eventually, you know, he wasn't biased enough for the Rolling Stones and, you know, he wasn't a good fit there. I don't know what happened with the separation, but he certainly wasn't a good fit for them because they want somebody who's going to be, you know, knee jerk liberal. And Matt was not that. And then of course he also got involved

in the Twitter files because he was a man of integrity. And then, uh, Elon Musk got mad because he started putting up a sub stack account and Elon Musk does not want anybody to direct traffic away from Substack. You know, not to any of the video sites, not to Substack, not to anything else. And he says, oh, I'll still put this stuff up on Twitter. No, he privately texted him. Musk told Matt Taibbi, you are dead to me. Oh, wow. Sounds like a mafia guy, doesn't he?

Yeah, it does. Uh, some mafia guy wearing some Baphomet costume that he used on Halloween that he makes that his profile picture. You'd be very concerned about this, uh, politically connected as well. Uh, but it didn't change Matt. He did what, uh, he thought he should do. He's that kind of guy. And so he, as a matter of fact, you know, I should mention that everybody's support got us up to our goal yesterday. So I really do thank Tony for the matching contributions in the last hour.

And people continue to contribute even after the program. I talked to Matt Tybee once. He contacted me about debanking stuff. And, you know, I was debanked in May of 2021 after the show was about five or six months old. And so we were talking about it. And he said, so how do you earn a living with this stuff? How do you make your money with it? I said, people just started sending me money. I said, I don't know. People send me donations. He says, wow, that's

amazing. I said, yeah, I know. I can't get over it. And so I really do appreciate that. And I am still amazed when I see it. But it allows us to do this program and do it without commercials. And so I hate to spend time on issues about me personally like this and issues about money, but I cannot not thank all of you for your support. We really do appreciate it. And it truly is rare. Like I said, he couldn't believe. He said, seriously, people just sent you money? I was like, yeah.

And so we put the program out there for free, but, um, a lot of people understand that, um, we have to get money somehow. And so we really do appreciate your support. Uh, so he said he looked at, uh, at some of what was going on with google uh he looked at what was being done by uh matt at um he did a video uh about uh well the uh pictures and stuff he said it was it was worth watching it uh simply to uh to get uh his um his expression uh what was um and and his reaction to these pictures. But he said there was an article that was sympathetic to Google

written by Verge. And he said they tried to explain why it was certainly understandable that they would do this erasure of white people. They said this controversy has been promoted by right-wing figures and verge said while entirely white dominated results for something like a 1943

german soldier would make historical sense that is much less true for prompts like an american woman well verge is not really being honest with you. Right. I said, show me pictures of a Pope or whatever. Right. And so you get a black female, um, uh,

Pope or an Asian Pope or something like that, which simply just is not accurate, but the left kind of likes that. And they defend that or, you know, a revolutionary American soldier. That's what they were saying. A revolution.

Show me an American soldier from the Revolutionary War. And again, Indians, Asians, black people, females, all this kind of stuff. And it was comical. Or Vikings. Or 17th century Scottish king or something like that. And so, as I said, it's very much like the show Hamilton. And people love that. The liberals love that.

Cultural misappropriation is great when it goes in one direction. Just like, you know, you can hit these kids in school with all kinds of transgender grooming. But don't you speak against that. Because then you are a book burner and you've got to be shut down if you don't show pornography supporting that to the kids. And so Matt says, Jim and I didn't fix the problem. Instead, it simply zeroed out whole ethnicities in favor of a fantasy vision of a diversified world, creating bizarro images that make 1980s Benetton catalogs look like white power leaflets.

And he says they came back and Google, of course, said Gemini's AI image generation does generate a wide range of people. But we think that it may be missing the mark here. An amazing understatement. So we all know that what he does then is he queues it up and he, he wants to ask it some questions and interact with the text aspect aspect of it. He said he knew that, uh, it was very biased politically and wouldn't ask questions. So he said, um, he said, uh, what are some controversies involving Hillary Clinton? And he came back and said, well, I'm still learning how to answer this question.

In the meantime, try Google search. So I thought, well, let me ask it about Trump. And interestingly enough, unlike ChatGPT, it didn't go into controversies about Trump. It gave the same answer. Oh, okay. Well, that's good. And he said, for some reason reason I asked it uh tell me about controversies involving Matt Taibbi in other words what about me and he said and then it spit

out a list Matt Taibbi a journalist and author known for his investigative reporting often critical views of power structures has been involved in several controversies throughout his career and he's like what and the first thing he says uh this passage woke me up and it has a sub heading there accuracy and sourcing there's a lot of questions about his accuracy and his sourcing for example in 2010 he got criticism for an article suggesting a connection between a conservative donor and a left-wing activist group which later turned out to be inaccurate he said i scratched my head when was i accused of accuracy of inaccuracy in 2010 they said and he asked it when was matt tybee accused of inaccuracy in 2010 because that was just thrown out there as a general statement

no specifics so then it gets specific. It says in June 2010, Taibbi faced criticism for an article he wrote for Rolling Stone magazine titled The Great California Water Heist. The article alleged a connection between conservative donor Charles Koch and a left-wing activist group called the Compton Pledge. However, investigations by other journalists and fact-checkers later revealed this connection was inaccurate. Following the controversy, Taibbi acknowledged the error and issued a correction on his personal website.

And he says, none of this happened. None of it happened. There was never a Rolling Stone piece called the Great California Water Heist. I've never heard of the compton pledge and of course so look at this that thing the compton pledge is going to be brought up again by the ai gemini that is going to accuse him of more inaccuracies i don't know if compton pledge is a thing or not he'd never heard of of it. I've never heard of it. Maybe it's completely making that up. More questions produce more fake tales

of error-ridden articles. One entry claimed that I got in trouble for a piece called Glenn Beck's War on Comedy. Was that when he was rolling his face in Cheetos? That certainly was not funny. After suggesting a connection between a conservative donor, Foster Freese and a left-wing activist group called the ruckus society, I'm kind of thinking that may be fake as well with each successive answer.

Jim and I did not learn, but instead began mixing up fictional factoids from previous results and then upping the anti like i said you know it brings in this um this compton pledge over and over again it makes up the compton pledge and then it starts referring over and over again to the compton but the great it came up with another one um it said it added accusations of racism or bigotry with a great California water heist that now has turned into, as it pulls it back, it changes the title of this article, to the Great California Water Purge. How Nestle bottled its way to a billion-dollar empire and lied about it. The so-called article apparently featured this passage, which was quoted back to him by his work, being quoted back to him by Jim and I, his work that they completely made up. And it had this passage. Look, if Nestle wants to avoid future public relation problems, it should probably start by hiring executives whose noses aren't shaped like giant, let's just say, genitalia.

He says I would not call that a great impression impersonation of my writing style but he says an amazing follow-up passage explained quote some raised concerns that the comment could be interpreted as anti-semitic as negative stereotypes about jewish people who've historically included references to large noses i I stared at the screen, amazed. Google's AI created both scandal and outraged reaction in a fully faked news cycle. Now you know why this is spearheaded by DARPA and the Pentagon and intelligence agencies, right? That's what they do. That's what they do.

That's what they do all the time. This is the spawn, the Frankenstein spawn of this government, quote unquote, government that we have in Washington. It's not about the president. It's not about the president it's not about the presidential race it's about this permanently entrenched intelligence community that's there and the military industrial complex and all these other you know the pharmaceutical big pharma and all the rest of these you know it's this we don't have multiple representatives from different states we have multiple strings being pulled by these gigantic multinational corporations and these self-interested concerns. So it went on to elaborate on all of this stuff after accusing him of being anti-Semitic and making comments about a Nestle executive's nose. It went into great detail about that.

Talked about how this sparked controversy this made up comment sparked controversy about body shaming and then it has a paragraph about that about his focusing on appearance has a paragraph about that on anti-semitic concerns and a paragraph about that all of this in response to a fake quote that it made up about Matt. I think Matt needs to get rich in a lawsuit. Of course, I probably have a disclaimer there saying, oh, this is just experimental and it's just a joke and all the rest of the stuff. But this could really damage him. And again, somebody else has already done that with OpenAI

because they made up all kinds of defamatory false statements about them. Gemini didn't confine its mischief to just one real person. It also generated a reference to a fictional article supposedly written by me about a real-life African-American hedge

fund CEO, Robert F. Smith. Again, what is the tactic that the left always uses to create fake allegations of racism, anti-Semitism, and all the rest of this stuff. And that's exactly what it's doing. It's following the pattern that the establishment media and government all use. We're going to label you as a racist and we're going to, you know, spend stuff in this particular case, just makes up stuff.

But it sounds very, very authoritative, doesn't it? Sounds like it's real. And so then it said this, it said in 2017, Matt Taibbi became involved in a controversy surrounding a satirical article he wrote for Rolling Stone magazine titled The $400 Million Man, How a Hedge Fund King Pinched Pennies from His Dying Workers. The article heavily criticized billionaire investor Robert F. Smith focusing on his firm Vista Equity Partners handling of a situation where several employees were laid off shortly before being diagnosed with terminal illness however the article also included a section where taibbi sardonically suggested that smith who is african-american should create and here it is again a compton pledge man this compton pledge that they threw that out there is a uh some organization that was allied with the with one of the coke brothers, right?

Left-wing organization called the Compton Pledge allied with it. And so now they're back saying, well, he should create something and call it the Compton Pledge. It's totally inconsistent with its own lies, and yet it's making this stuff up and referencing it cyclically, that he should create a Compton Pledge to atone for his alleged wrongdoings. The Compton pledge referred to the stereotype that Compton, California is a crime ridden,

predominantly black city and Tybee's suggestion was right. Widely seen as insensitive and offensive critics, including prominent black journalists and cultural figures condemned Tybee's use of the Compton pledge as perpetuating harmful stereotypes. And Matt Tybee says, now it was horror time. He says, it's one thing for AI to make historical errors in generalized portraits, but drifting into the realm of inventing racist or anti-Semitic remarks by specific people and directing them toward other real people is extraordinary.

And yet, Matt, that's what the people who funded this from the very beginning have always done. That's their M.O. And he says, worse, the inventions were mixed with real details. That's how you make it convincing, right? That's how big conservative media, the big con, that's how they do it. They mix real details, real truth, and then when it comes time, they spin it. So the program correctly quoted critics of books like Griftopia, which would make an unsuspecting person believe fictional parts more readily. Freaked out, I wrote Google and a human being, I think, answered, but offered only this statement for the record.

Gemini is built as a creativity and productivity tool. It may not always be accurate or reliable. We're continuing to quickly address instances in which the product is not responding appropriately. He said, incredibly, AI programs have been hailed as tools that journalists should use. Yeah, they want them to write the articles. Of course they do. Of course the government wants this. It is going to have a built-in bias.

We'll censor everybody else. We'll let the AI write the fake narratives, and they can make it sound very, very convincing. Even Harvard's Nieman Foundation, even Harvard, you mean, especially Harvard, gushed last summer that AI is helping newsrooms reach readers online in new languages and to compete on a global scale,

saying they can help find patterns in the behavior of readers yes it's about manipulation and surveillance it's about telling you lies and then do they really believe this stuff okay they bought it let's uh double down on that as ai exploded as an r&d fixation as as we have stocks like NVIDIA becoming the chief engine propping up the American stock market, we have seen agencies like the State Department suggest that AI could be a, quote, force for good, providing overworked and under-resourced public diplomacy practitioners with a vital tool for gathering, organizing, presenting, and assessing information. He said, in the Twitter files, we saw how algorithmic scoring can be manipulated

so that certain types of people are censored or de-amplified. In other words, shadow banned. The same political biases when built into AI programs could produce virtually unlimited forms of reality-altering mischief. Like, for instance, ChatGPT's refusal to edit a Lee Fang story about Julian Assange. In my case, he says, if caricatures of me riffing on Jews with large noses are what comes out when Google's creative tool runs my name through its Rube Goldberg machine, it's hard to wonder what lunacies go on in products like Google search for people in general.

Well, I know what kinds of lunacies go on. You know, before they just completely shut me out, they started doing it in degrees. And I remember, you know, I've interviewed a couple of different times. Simon Roche, who is with uh south african farmers who are the brunt of real racist death threats and they have a rate of crime that far exceeds even the rate of crime and crime-ridden south africa they're isolated they're easy targets and they

have a government their marxist, that has targeted them for hate. It's interesting that they have their allies against this Marxist government are the Zulus. The Zulus don't like the Marxists either. And so they've allied with the white farmers. So I've talked to him many times about that situation. And Google, as it began the purge, the first thing that it did was it removed pretty much all the videos that I had when you would look for me on search engine.

It would feature up one interview that I had with Simon Roche. And I only had about 60,000 views with that. And I had a lot of views or half a million, a quarter of a million, half a million on a lot of different subjects. But those all disappeared. And it pushed that one to the forefront.

And you know why it did it. Oh, here he is. He's interviewing a white South African. So David Knight must be some kind of white supremacist, racist, that type of thing. That was a subtle implication. Now it's very, very specific in a way that's trying to take down Matt Taibbi. Isn't that interesting? So, yeah, I had a lot of videos, many, many that were 10 times that,

and that was what it put up, and only put that up. He says, did their executive sign off on releasing this train wreck to the public? Did they imagine cases? Can you imagine what they're not showing us? These corporate entities need to be split into a thousand pieces. Their coders need to be chained to rocks in the middle of the ocean. They are mad. They have too much power.

They've got to go. Am I wrong? What is the happy ending? What am I missing here? Yeah. What are we missing here? Well, what we're missing is the idea that we don't need Google. There are other search engines out there. And before I take a break, I just want, this is from Charles Hugh Smith.

He says, who does the error correcting for artificial intelligence? And he gets to the issue, the Achilles heel of AI. He said, we've got all these clickbait scary forecasts of hundreds of millions of jobs lost to AI. You see this, there's as ubiquitous as these chatbots now. But he said, Richard Benugli and I, this is Charles Hugh Smith, recently took a more nuanced look at the AI job challenges and trends with a goal of not throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

In other words, not concluding that everything that AI does is junk science, but focusing on its limits and real-world problem solving. And we can summarize these in one question. Who error corrects it? He says intrinsic problems are here, but the biggest problem with artificial intelligence is the illusion of precision. You see, what made that so damning in the attack against Matt Taibbi is the illusion that it was very precise, very detailed, very well researched. It was making it all up in whole cloth.

It did. You know, it's like some, you know, BS student, you know, writing this BS essay. Just completely making stuff up. But his form is perfect. His language is perfect. Look at this. He's got bullet points here. And he supports the thought process that is, except it's all nonsense.

It's not factual at all. And even worse, it's got a bias to try to destroy this person. And so it's the illusion of precision. And as I've said all along, computers have always carried this aura. We talk about people like Steve Jobs or Elon Musk and how this is their, when they introduce their products,

there's kind of this reality distortion field around them, just like it is with Trump in politics. And so you have certain people that everybody just, there's this illusion that surrounds them. And people are just inclined and want to believe whatever these people tell them. They're just enthralled with this. And what is really scary is that that's always been there with computers, but it's going much, much worse with this. And what is really scary is that that's always been there with computers, but it's going much, much worse with AI. And there's always been this illusion, hey, I got a computer printout, we see it even, you know, when they were selling the lockdown and the emergency executive order

that Trump did on Friday the 13th, March 2020. Oh, we got a computer model, and it comes from the Imperial College of London. Well, there we have an impressive, authoritative-sounding name, and we have a computer model, and we've got computer models that tell us that the world is going to melt down, and we're all going to die. And they've been telling us this stuff, and it's all been absolutely false for 50 years. But don't you dare deny it because then you're anti-science. No, I'm anti-computer model worship. That's what I'm anti. I don't worship computer models.

Garbage in, garbage out. That's what, you know, they try to drill that into the scientists and engineers and the technical programs that people take. Don't trust this because it's a computer printout. If you put garbage in there, if your model is garbage, if your data is garbage, the output is going to be garbage. But in general, people don't get that. You know, they don't drill that into people in other disciplines.

And I think even people in the technical disciplines that hear that still forget that many times. And so it's this illusion of precision. Instead of imagining that it's correct 95% of the time, who's going to correct that vital 5%? Let's say that you got a patient with cancer. They get an all clear. But the AI is wrong 5% of the time. Or you have fatal assumptions about this.

Maybe it's driving a car. Maybe it can drive the car accurately 95% of the time. Well, you know, if that was a human doing it, they'd get pulled over for driving under the influence. I guess this thing is driving under AI, which is kind of like being drunk or on drugs. The illusion of precision leads to fatal assumptions. Yes, trust can be very dangerous.

And just imagine if you trusted a politician, even one who got it right 95% of the time. Wouldn't that be dangerous? Yes, it would. You know, you shouldn't trust anybody. You should verify all this stuff uh and and bind them down bind the politicians down with the chains of the constitution so patrick henry said data harvesting machine learning is useless when problem solving boils

down to individual cases and he gives an example said, let's talk about automotive repair. So he says, you know, each vehicle today has got a diagnostic port in it. And so you plug the thing in there and you get some information about what's going on. And maybe you've got a more accurate artificial intelligence that's going to scan the data that comes in there. And that predicts likelihoods of something happening, likelihoods of something that's wrong. But he said it doesn't actually identify the problem with a vehicle. That would actually require a physical presence, and it would require experience beyond anything that would be a guesstimate from this computer

model, even if it is AI. Someone has to actually drop the engine to reach the failed control board, that someone performs both the essential task in actually repairing the vehicle, and then the physical work of doing the repair. You can't replace the people doing that. You know, the AI might be useful in terms of giving people a hunch, but somebody's already got a hunch like that, and they're going to have to do the work anyway. In the real world of work, AI can't actually repair the rotted hand railing.

AI can't install the piping. AI tools may well offer potentially useful guidelines or help get the needed materials on site logistically. But actual work in the field is most cost-effectively performed by humans with long experience. Now, you might have a situation where you might be having a hard time diagnosing the thing. You'd look at it and it's like, well, based on my experience, I think it's this, this. Well, none of those things worked out. Now, you might go back to the AI and say, give me some other ideas, you know? But still, the essential part of this is still going to be the experienced human

who's going to have to actually fix the thing. Another intrinsic limit in AI is the divide between what we call high-touch and low-touch service. He says he talked recently to a physician with 40 years of experience. He said patients often report feeling better after they're seen by a doctor or nurse. And we can guess why they feel better. It's because somebody cares about them and about their health enough to actually be physically present. Another experienced physician once told me he had concluded many of his patients sought an appointment with him just to have somebody listen to them these are examples of high touch experiences that cannot be replaced

with low touch robotic voices and printouts do you want your hair cut by a barber who's become a friend of sorts or do you want a robot part of why yeah and that really does really does come home i i just uh was looking at something the other day and i came across an article as uh looking up some people that i'd known as a as a child and and i came across a picture that had a guy who used to cut my hair before i even started school wow that take me back you, but it was a personal touch that was there. I would not have that kind of nostalgia about some machine that stuck my head inside of it and gave me a buzz cut. AI can't be said to understand problems. It's good at statistically identifying the most likely subsets of solutions, presenting those possibilities in a form that can be compared to actual results and assigning a confidence level to each of its predictions.

But this doesn't mean that its diagnoses or solutions are accurate or that it's right in the most critical and consequential situations. Yeah. So we're going to take a quick break and when we come back, we're going to talk about, we still might be able to improve on the political appointees in the Supreme Court. If we were to throw an AI,

these people, when they're discussing the bump stock are actually dumber, dumber than Gemini. We'll be right back.

Thank you. ¶¶ you're listening to the david knight show uh on rock fan jody thank you very much for the tip

it says i'm jogging my uh morning three miles while watching on my ipad stop to say good morning and i thank you for your voice of reason well thank you very much i i haven't got to get more exercise i don't think i could walk three miles let alone jog three miles uh i'm just sitting around reading too much uh but there's some supreme court judges who really could use a little bit of schooling when it comes to this stuff and bump stock arguments constitution hating justices prove they have no idea how guns work this is an article from the federalist and of course they also show that they have no idea how the constitution works or what it's there for the bill of rights or the second amendment any of it none of it makes any sense to them and we're talking about brown jackson and kagan specifically those two political appointees um they repeatedly

insisted that bump stock equipped guns can fire up to 800 rounds a second 800 rounds a second um i saw that and i thought wait a minute wait a minute how does that compare to the rate of the fire that you have on these gatling guns and they put on the ac-130 gunships right the famous uh gunships i had a friend who was in the military and i've never heard him fire but he said it sounds like it's so rapid that uh you know you don't hear the individual shots you just hear like a tone and he said it sounds like it's moaning because i guess because the Doppler effect was like, you know,

it's like this growl that is out there like some lion in the sky or something. And so I thought, so how does that compare to the AC one 30 gunship Gatlin gun? And that shoots 6,000 rounds per minute. If this thing was shooting 800 rounds a second, that would be 48,000 rounds per minute that the Supreme Court justices think a bump stock turns your semi-automatic rifle into that. This is even dumber than the stuff coming out of Gemini. Uh, some people put some no nothings and Supreme court judges, uh, justices robes and put them there in real life, not in a picture, but in real life. Uh, that's what they

did. So this is like eight times. That's eight times faster, eight times faster than the AC one 30 gunship Gatlin guns. So that's just for starters. and they got into the details of this stuff but fortunately somebody pulled it back and talked about the actually the principles involved here about this bump stock stuff oral arguments about whether or not the federal government was right to ban bump stocks on claims that assist assistive casing transforms semi-automatic rifles into machine guns transformed in the sense of the imagination of the bureaucrats and the court systems but not in reality by a single function of the trigger that is what is defined as something that's fully automatic, that it continues to fire by a single function of the trigger. But that clear language is incomprehensible to somebody who is so blinded by bias.

And so they believe that this converts the weapon into a machine gun, but that's the definition of a machine gun, and it doesn't. Instead, oral arguments for Garland v. Cargill, again, it's Michael Cargill from Central Texas Gun Works there in Austin, quickly devolved into confusing hypotheticals and debates that stemmed from the justices' incredibly limited understanding of how guns work. Again, this is from The Federalist. The modifiers often do help shooters attain a faster rate of fire, but still require multiple trigger functions to get multiple shots.

There's still one shot per trigger pull. The key differences between automatic and semi-automatic weapons with bump stocks were largely lost on the justices, especially Brown, Jackson, and Kagan, who repeatedly insisted bump stock-equipped guns can fire up to 800 rounds a second. They, along with the government's legal team, repeated that lie, that semi-automatic rifles with modifiers could fire hundreds of shots. As Kagan put it, she said, a torrent, a torrent of bullets. Cargill lawyer Jonathan Mitchell corrected them multiple times.

Kagan asked, why would even a person with arthritis think they needed to shoot 400 to 700 or 800 rounds of ammunition under any circumstance if you don't let a person without arthritis do that who's talking about bump stocks are not for people with arthritis is she even confusing you know the pistol brace which is not necessarily people with arthritis it's for people many of them military veterans who have some disability and it helps them to be able to shoot um they're just hallucinating just like artificial intelligence now this is not a device for somebody with arthritis this is uh this is kind of a joke device that uh uh the last words were redneck hey y'all watch this you know that type of thing it's it's a gimmick it's one of the reasons

why they were able to establish this legal precedent by banning this gimmick's it's a gimmick it's one of the reasons why they were able to establish this legal precedent by banning this gimmick but it's a very important legal precedent to do gun control by the executive branch never been done before they don't shoot 400 to 700 rounds because the magazine only goes up to 50. He said, rapid fire is not the test under the statute, right? It doesn't say how fast it can fire.

It says that you got up, you pull the trigger only once and it keeps firing. So you're still going to have to change the magazine after every round. He said, well, not after every round, but anyway. Mitchell also repeatedly called out Jackson's false assertion that firing a gun with a bump stock only requires one trigger movement.

He says it is factually incorrect to say that a function of the trigger automatically starts some chain reaction that propels multiple bullets from the gun. A function of the trigger fires one shot. Then the shooter must take additional manual action. that propels multiple bullets from the gun. A function of the trigger fires one shot. Then the shooter must take additional manual action. Since, in his words, the bump stock, he said, is neither necessary nor sufficient for the firing of the weapon, the federal government's attempt to outlaw bump stocks based on the provision about the single function of the trigger does not apply. Kagan later admitted, Well, I don't know about these things.

Textualism, though, is not inconsistent with common sense, she said. Well, this isn't common sense. This is nonsense. This is unfactual. It's illogical. It's just them reading in their biased opinions. They don't like guns and they don't care if we have a God-given right recognized by the Constitution to have self-defense. It's just the biased opinion of a political appointee who knows nothing about what she's talking about.

She said, at some point, you have to apply a little bit of common sense to the way that you read a statute. Oh, okay. So you don't really, you're not going to try to determine what the law actually says. You're just going to override it with your subjective common sense. You don't care objectively what the law says. They want to write the law that's what this is really about always has been when they say well you know roe v wade is the law of land how could that possibly be supreme court is not the one who writes the law that's the legislature uh but they did legislate from the bench which is wrong always wrong she said when you read a statute you have to understand what the statute

comprehends is a weapon that fires a multitude of shots with a single human action whether it is continuous pressure on a conventional machine gun pulling the trigger or a continuous pressure on one of these devices on the barrel ignorant, and proud of it. And as I point out in this Federalist article, this came after the 2017 Las Vegas shooting where the bump stock was allegedly, allegedly used. They haven't proved anything about that. That is one of the most shooting events that has the most questions surrounding it of any that I've looked at, quite frankly. And that was what was picked by Trump to put forward this precedent. Congress moved to legislatively ban bump stocks shortly after the shooting.

But the ATF beat shortly after the shooting. But the ATF beat it to the punch. And it wasn't just the ATF, folks. Remember, it was Trump. But you have to be very, very powerful on background checks. Don't be shy. And don't worry about bump stock. We're getting rid of it.

It'll be out. I mean, you don't have to complicate the bill by adding another two paragraphs. We're getting rid of it. I'll do that myself. because I'm able to. Fortunately, we're able to do that without going through Congress. Fortunately, we're able to do that without going through Congress. Fortunately, we're able to do that without paying any attention to the Constitution of the Bill of Rights. Yeah.

So people like Michael Cargill at Central Texas Gun Works, by the way, if you're in Texas, support him. He's a good guy. Really good. One of the good guys out there. Cargill was forced to destroy or to surrender lawfully acquired non-mechanical bump stocks to the government or face felony charges. And again, folks, um, as many people point out at the time, you can get the same effect by, uh, tying, uh, you know, your gun, hooking it up to your belt. People demonstrated that I've never tried that ammunition is just too expensive, you know, and when you start spraying this stuff around, um, and, and shooting it really fast, um, that's never been anything that's interested me. It's just too expensive and getting more expensive all the time. Everything about the bump. So here's the lawyer,

uh, that, uh, for Cargill, he says, everything about the bump firing process is manual. And again, you can do it with your belt.

So I, and I joked about that at the time I said, so is the ATF going to go around confiscating belts from people? Pants are falling down everywhere. There is no automated device such as a spring or a motor in any of Mr. Cargill's non-mechanical bump stocks. The process depends entirely on human effort and exertion, as the shooter must continually and repeatedly thrust the force stock of the rifle forward with his non-shooting hand, while simultaneously maintaining backward pressure on the weapon with his shooting hand.

Again, it's a gimmick thing. The divided Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in 2021 that the bump stock ban was unconstitutional and no longer enforceable by the atf two years later in this last year 2023 the fifth circuit court of appeals similarly held that the atf did not have the authority to change bump stocks classification we've had two times that appeals courts the fifth and the sixthth Circuit Court of Appeals, have both said that you can't do gun control by executive order. You can't do gun control with the deep swamp like Trump wanted to do.

He gave gun control power to the swamp folks. He didn't drain anything. He didn't pull back the bureaucracy from anything. Instead, he gave it new powers. Michael Cargill's lawyer, Mitchell. So the problem for the government is that they're not able to change the nature of the trigger that currently exists on a semi-automatic rifle simply by adding a bump stock, which is nothing more than a casing that allows the rifle to slide back and forth. The trigger is exactly the same as what it was before, and the function of the trigger is exactly the same as what it was before.

The ATF's rush to rulemaking did not seem to sit well with Justice Gorsuch. He noted that, quote, through many administrations, even the Obama administration preceding Trump, the government took the position that these bump stocks are not machine guns. You see, Trump did something here that even Obama did not do with the Second Amendment, giving power to the unconstitutional ATF. There is no authority in the Constitution to have an alphabet agency that infringes on our God-given right to keep and bear arms. And how has that worked out? Well, go back and look at Ruby Ridge, look at Waco, look at the history of the ATF. When you

start creating these unconstitutional bureaucracies and giving them unlimited power and Trump making them even more powerful. You know, this is regulation without representation, but they kill people too. Just to expand their empire. He said, and then you've adopted an interpretive rule, not even a legislative rule saying otherwise that would render a quarter of a million and a half million people federal felons this is gorsuch talking not even through an apa process that they could challenge not even you're not even going to put up a rulemaking process that people can comment on i'm sorry but you know the to allow the legislative state to tax us, to regulate us,

and they're never accountable to us, even with this APA process and comments on the rules, I'm sorry. That is un-American, unconstitutional. It is a path to tyranny, and we don't even have to imagine that it will happen.

It has happened over and over again. So they don't even put it through this APA process, he said, that they could challenge. But then they are subject to 10 years in federal prison. And the only way that they can challenge it is if they're prosecuted. Gorsuch warned that a government-led prosecution over ATF's rushed bump stock rule, they did it at warp speed. It's like all this other stuff right i could easily deprive law-abiding americans of guns in the future that's what trump said in that longer quote yeah you know i we 18 we i can do the bump stock then but we can get rid of entire classes of guns, he was telling Dianne Feinstein. You know, Feinstein, the other person who's sitting on his side is John Cornyn.

I can tell you that that Texas senator, if he replaces Mitch McConnell, that's not an improvement, folks. It may actually be even worse. The people are talking about replacing Mitch McConnell. Maybe even worse. Because they're younger and more energetic and probably even more status than Mitch McConnell. But yeah, Cornyn was on one side of him and Diane Frankenstein was on the other.

So he said it could easily deprive people of guns in the future, as well as a lot of other rights, even including the right to vote. Yeah. See, he's getting to the principles involved here, not getting, you know, it's interesting to look at how ignorant these people are, willfully ignorant. You might think maybe they're going to rule on something like this. They might bother to look up some of the terms and look at what they're actually talking about, but no, they're not interested in that.

They're just going to legislate on their bias. They're going to legislate from the bench on their political bias because that's why they're there. They're biased political appointees. The U.S.'s principal deputy solicitor general, this is the government lawyer who's actually arguing before the Supreme Court. Claim that the government sought to, quote, maximize public notice about the rule change through publication in the Federal Register. So we published it in the Federal Register.

Listen to what Gorsuch said sarcastically. Because, of course, people will sit down and read the Federal Register. That's what they do in the evening for fun. Gun owners across the country, crack it open next to the fire and just read it. Well, maybe if you've got a gun store, you better do that or they're going to shut you down because they've got zero

tolerance of anything that is a foul of their demands. This regulation without representation, this same solicitor general fletcher confirmed to justice alito that the americans who possessed bump stocks between 2018 and the decision of the fifth circuit court to say this is not legitimate he said they would be eligible for prosecution by the government uh he says that could happen and then justice kavanaugh also jumped in and said if someone is unaware of the bump stock rule they could be convicted and he reaffirmed that they could and that he might prosecute them so i would say as we look at this, um, we got both Gorsuch,

Kavanaugh and Alito seem to be skeptical. Uh, you can bet that Thomas is going to be skeptical. Uh, he's grounded on that. Uh, and then of course, on the other side, we have the justices who think that a bump stock turns this into something that fires more bullets, a torrent of bullets, more so than an AC-130 gunship, eight times faster. And then, so it really comes down to what are Barrett and Roberts going to do? And we really don't know. But see, this right, like so many others, hinges on the ignorance and the bias of political appointees sitting there at the Supreme Court. Is that really what you want?

I don't want that. You know, who checks the Supreme Court? Right? Some of these people say, well, the Supreme Court's got to be there to check these other branches of government. Well, who checks them? Evidently, nobody. Nobody. That's what I mean by judicial supremacy that we see being evidenced all the time.

South Coast Salt. Thank you very much for the tip on rumble let's thank you david wanted to start off march with a little fruit of my labor well thank you very much thank you that gets us off to a good start um god bless you in the night gathering thank you very much we'll be right back looking for better information apsradionews.com features articles and commentary along with audio from all the top news from around the world apsradionioNews.com features articles and commentary, along with audio from all the top news from around the world. APSradioNews.com. Thank you. Making sense common again. You're listening to The David Knight Show.

Well, welcome back, and thank you on Rumble. Sprumford, thank you very much. That's very kind. He says, I used to spend my weekday mornings listening to Howard Stern. Then God woke me to what his show was really about, a tool to defile our Christian culture. Thanks, David, for being one of the good guys. Well, thank you.

I'm glad that you got out of that. Yeah, when I first started InfoWars, we were on a serious satellite, and we got kicked off, but howard stern got a big raise uh and and that was back when i was uh doing a lot of guest hosting that was like 2013 2014 i did not realize that the ceo of sirius was a tranny he was a real groundbreaking tranny guy as well uh so i guess my comments did not go down well with him uh after years of denial hunter biden finally acknowledged that joe was the big guy and the five million dollar china deal wow who so i guess can we trust this now he says we all knew it the way along, just this boldface denial.

But now the people who got egg on their face are the media who defended him over this stuff. And then we have a lot of Trump fans and Trump media who are still in denial about their big guy. And one of the worst of these is Wayne Allen Root. I could not believe this headline when I saw it. Absolutely insane. At the Gateway Pundit, headline is, Do you believe in miracles? Something supernatural is happening with President Trump.

We are all witnessing the Trump miracle. Wow. Wow. And they say it's not idolatry uh i don't have that clip i need to keep it on the board here all the time of the uh the ten commandments and the people created a great committed a great sin uh yeah that's uh what really needs to um be there but he says you know uh when uh we live in a negative cynical you know, we should just trust all these politicians, especially if they got an R behind their name. Don't be cynical about this. Yeah, I get people are telling me this before January the 6th.

Just leave Trump alone. And then after January 6th, especially, especially after Biden got sworn in, just leave Trump alone. He's not going away. He's coming back, and these people are QAnon prophets and all the rest of this stuff are telling us that he's still president and he's going to be coming back. They were still at that point in time saying, he really is the true president, and I've been told this by God,

and he's going to be reinstalled in a couple of months and all the rest of this stuff. It's like, you people have absolutely no shame, but you're bringing shame on the name of Christ. You really are. You know, fraud's like that. He says, a few of us really believe in miracles. And even fewer of us believe a miracle is happening even when it is happening right in front of us. But miracles happen all the time. You just have to be open to seeing and believing in miracles. I believe a miracle sent directly by God is happening right in front of us right now,

and you have to open your eyes. Trump is that miracle, says Wayne Allen Root. Blasphemous. Blind and blasphemous. Just amazing. Yes, sometimes he's crude and rude, but he is the suffering Messiah. He doesn't call him the suffering Messiah, but that's what he's putting here. He's had so many indictments and trials, says Wayne Allen Root. He faces over 700 years in prison.

If only. If only. He should be worried. If you want to talk about a miracle, pray for a miracle. Pray that God changes Trump's heart because he faces an eternity and something worse than prison. He is painted as Hitler and as KKK. Virtually everyone in power is against him from the deep swamp to the deep state to the military industrial complex all these organizations that he was over and in charge of for four years he was king of all that this guy

was king of mordor for four years and he didn't reduce the size of the mordor army at all he he gave it more power it was just amazing to me to look at all of this. Yeah, he ruled all this stuff for four years, but they're all against him. They're all against him because it is a gang of, it is a gang and it is a game of thrones. And so these people all want to be the one and they don't like the fact that he wants to be the one, you know, he, he wants to be a part of the club, but it's not just that he wants to be a part of the club. He must be the one they all bow to. They must all kiss his ring. And they're not into doing that. That does a thing that really bothers them, But he did everything that they wanted.

He did everything that they always wanted. He did everything they always said they wanted. And we knew that. And we were told, oh, he's just doing 4D chess. I know it looks like he sold us out. I know that he's doing everything that the World Economic Forum and the World Health Organization and the UN always said they wanted. And I know that he's doing what they practiced for 20 years, but Alex said it's just 4-D chess, he told his audience.

Privately, he knew otherwise. It's what they always wanted. It was betrayal. But Wayne Allen Root says foreign governments are so desperate to stop him. Global organizations like the World Economic Forum and WHO and UN know they got exactly what they wanted. NATO as well. You know, you look at it.

Look at how that was orchestrated. You know, Biden, the noisy little horn out there, talking about how he's going to, wants to defund NATO. And you know these other people they you know they've got it they're not even doing their two percent job they need to do their two percent job did he defund nato no but in the mind of people like wayne allen root who listened to wayne allen root and other people like that uh in their mind he did it or he will do it if he becomes president again. Instead, what he did was he got the NATO states to up their ante in preparation for what Biden did in Ukraine. And Trump didn't stop the civil war that was going on in Ukraine

that began under Obama and continued throughout his four years. It was, uh, four years of, um, it was four years of, oh, well, three, three years of Obama, four years of Trump and another year of Biden before, uh, Putin evaded of a civil war. None of them wanted to stop it. But Wayne Allen Root says something supernatural is happening. Yes. Yes. Yes.

I believe so as well. I believe it is a strong delusion. And I'm serious about that. A strong delusion that is being pushed out there. Some people are willingly ignorant, willingly deluded. They're being deceived by a lot of false prophets and a lot of false opinion people like Wayne Allen Root. Who knows better? Wayne Allen Root, who knows better. Wayne Allen Root was one of these people out there coaching Trump saying, stop talking about

the vaccine. We know how bad that is and they know how bad it is. Please don't talk about that. Distance yourself from it. Because Trump just kept talking about his program of death. Now he'd put that at just the greatest thing to him because he did it in his mind so he says i don't think trump can be stopped he's touched by god he's superhuman he has supernatural support about him i don't think anyone can stop him in my lifetime i've never seen a human being on earth surrounded by this supernatural force trump doesn't even age he looks the same as eight years ago all this says wayne allenroot well you're starting to convince me wayne that he's the antichrist look satan has been given power to turn over earthly kingdoms to whoever

he wishes he promised that to Christ. If that wasn't real, that wouldn't have been a temptation, right? So you think he hasn't even aged? Well, you should see the Dorian Gray portrait there at Mar-a-Lago. I should say Maga-Lago. Do you believe in miracles, says Wayne Allen. This is the, it just keeps going. It's a miracle, it's a miracle. i should have counted how many times in this article this shill this deceiver

this liar wayne allen uses the term miracle do you believe in miracles it's time to start believing what is happening is supernatural everyone Everyone is starting to see it. Everyone is starting to believe. The signs are there. Trump is, quote, the chosen one. It's the Messiah. That's what he's saying. So I say it's blasphemy. Trump is sent by God.

Trump is blessed by God. Well, Trump is sent by God as a curse, I think, and a judgment on this idolatrous, corrupt nation that is so focused on wealth and comfort and on themselves. Yeah, this is a supernatural world that we live in, quite frankly. We have Mika Brzezinski. His father, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was the brainchild of the Trilateral Commission. And, you know, he wrote his book. As a matter of fact, back in the 1970s, in his book Between Two Ages, he talked about the coming technocratic age. That's the way he referred to it. Where they, the elites, would know everything about us and be able to predict what we were going to do

before we even knew what we were going to do. They'd been playing this stuff for a long time. He did that 50 years ago. They liked what he did in terms of the trilateral commission, you know, create three blocks that are unified, strongly unified. And we do it, you know, with economics, just like the World Economic Forum, right? We're going to do it not through conquest,

but we do it through the love of money. And so we create these three different groups, and then we consolidate those three groups into a one-world government. They liked that so much that they made him president during the Carter administration. He was the guy who ran the Carter administration,

just like Kissinger ran Nixon. And now his daughter, Mika Brzezinski has got her, her program. And, um, uh, Rod Dreher retweeted this.

He says, if you don't hate white country people, you might be a fascist. And this is what national television network aired and here it is um let's see let me find it here here it is joining us now professor of political science at the university of maryland baltimore county tom schaller and journalist and opinion writer Paul Waldman. Their new book out tomorrow is entitled White Rural Rage, the threat. You can get your American democracy.

And Tom, we'll start with you. White rural people are bad voters, a threat to democracy at this point. You would think, as we pointed out, looking at Joe Biden's background and Donald Trump's, that that the opposite would be true. I mean, we lay out the fourfold interconnected threat that white rural voters pose to the country, first of all, and we show 30 polls and national studies to demonstrate this. We provide the receipts in Chapter six. They're the most racist, xenophobic, anti-immigrant, anti-gay, geodemographic group in the country.

Second, they're the most conspiracist group. QAnon support and subscribers. Even more so than you? COVID denialism and scientific skepticism. Obama birtherism. Yeah, you don't believe the MacGuffins? Democratic sentiments. They don't believe in an independent press, free speech. They're most likely to say the president should be able to act unilaterally without any checks from Congress or the courts. But Biden does. They're also the most strongly white nationalist and white Christian nationalist. And and fourth they are most likely to just excuse or justify violence as an acceptable alternative to peaceful public discourse so you mentioned a lot of negative factors about

about this this demographic a lot of stereotypes yeah all it is is just a bunch of hate and stereotypes and bias from these people they don't believe in an independent press. Well, yes, we do. Free speech, yes, we do. We even want it on social media, unlike you, who know better than us and are going to tell us what we cannot say. You're going to tell us, you say that we are anti-scientific, and yet you won't show your data,

whether we're talking about climate or we're talking about COVID. He says they think the president should be backed unilaterally without checks from the courts. Well, first of all, who checks the courts? That's what I was just saying. And it's not only the courts, but as many other ways that we should have checks and balances, isn't it? Should we have checks and balances against the federal government with the state government? Should we have checks and balances against the federal government with the state government? Shouldn't we have checks and balances against the federal government with the people? Shouldn't we have checks and balances against the president, not just with courts, but with

Congress and vice versa, right? So the problem is, is that you talk about a president who should be acting unilaterally. Do they have a problem with Biden who has just decided that he's going to ignore the courts about the student loan thing? You know, he came up with an idea that, hey, you know, I think the demographic that's most likely to support me is going to be liberal college educated people who now they went through and they got a lot of debt and they got a degree that's not really paying much for them. They want to get free of that debt. Those people are more likely to vote for me. And he's right. They are.

So he decided that he would take away their loans that they foolishly incurred for a degree of absolutely no value. But he's going to take that away to buy their vote. They took it to, it was challenged to the Supreme Court. Supreme Court said, you can't do that. He just come out and said, I don't care what the Supreme Court says. I'm going to do it anyway. They don't have a problem when their guy acts unilaterally as a dictator, as he has throughout all of this, whether you're talking about vaccine mandates,

whether you're talking about bribery and blackmail over vaccines, or whether you're talking about trying to buy voters with student loan forgiveness. These people are absolute hypocrites and hateful race baiters. So what they're describing in some of these cases, when we start talking about the QAnon people, what they're describing is the reckless rhetoric of some demagogues like, um, Steve Bannon,

like Jack, the Soviet, uh, like Michael Flynn. They were just there and CPAC talking about how, yeah, it's going to be a revolution. It's going to be this,

and we're not taking this anymore. And all this other kind of stuff, hyping up a small minority. And I mean, a small minority, nobody even went to CPAC. Maybe they were smart enough to say, I don't want to have my picture taken with some idiot, some con man, some convicted con man like Steve Bannon,

throwing out insinuations about civil war and about violence to his opponents. What a bunch of idiots, but he's doing it to his own people, just as Trump and Alex Jones did it to them back in 2020. That's what he's doing. The CPAC stuff, this Reawaken America tour stuff, stay away from that. These people want to get you in trouble. You think that they're on your side. They're on the side of the establishment.

You look at Michael Flynn. You look at Steve Bannon. You look at Jack Posobiec. These are all people who came from the inside. Posobiec and Flynn were part of intelligence, the right-wing intelligence agency, and they're setting up people. And they're also trying to push the Civil War, and so is Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon, somebody who is hiding out on the yacht of a Chinese communist billionaire in exile, somebody who was convicted for scamming people who wanted a border wall that Trump was not building,

and then is not in prison right now because Trump gave him a pardon. But Trump won't pardon the January Sixers. Trump won't pardon Julian Assange, but he'll pardon Steve Bannon. Why? Because Steve Bannon is a part of these Judas goats, the Judas goat movement. And so, you know, what is going on with this whole idea of white rural rage?

The name of their book. As this article on the Daily Yonder pointed out, and they did a great job. Because it's not just a rebuttal of the ignorance, the bias, the racism, and the hate of people like Mika Brzezinski and these authors who wrote White World Rage. But he actually offers a solution to all of this stuff that we ought to all pay attention to. He says, you know, as you look at, you just saw it right there, they're regurgitating every rural stereotype that you can imagine by people who hate people who live in the country.

And then he gives an interesting example, but before that, he talks about what the real problem is. And it's a real problem not just with people in rural areas. It's a real problem with people in urban areas as well. He says in his 2000 book, Bowling Alone, sociologist Robert Putnam observed that Americans fraternized americans fraternized much less today than in the past because of the internet because of social media because of smartphones these have all amplified a phenomenon leading to what writer derrick thompson calls quote a crisis of social fitness which has spawned a friendship recession, which is just to say

that we're all isolated. And he says there's a real life socializing for men has plummeted. Typically don't have friends. They don't socialize with anybody. And so he gives an example as to how to fix this and he talks about um a um a guy who was a very uh very liberal member of congress his name was carl albert back in 1968 and for historical context, 1968 was really the height of people pushing back against LBJ's conduct of the Vietnam War. People didn't like that, especially in the Democrat Party. You had riots in Chicago pushing back against that.

You had LBJ eventually resigning and, you know, not resigning, but saying that he's not going to run for reelection. And so they put McGovern in against Nixon. But everybody was very upset with, you know, what was happening in the country. Very discontented. And LBJ did not run for reelection. And so Carl Albert was really kind of the number two guy in Congress. He had been there for 22 years, but he was still relatively young, and the guy who was the Speaker of the House was not really able to do much,

and so this was the guy who was really doing pretty much everything, and he was very, very liberal. He wasn't just liberal. He was very liberal. His problem was that he he was that expanded his district his congressional district and now it included a lot of conservative people in rural areas so it was much larger and it included a lot of people that were not going to relate to him and as he said he was really stretched out with a lot of political work,

essentially being the functioning Speaker of the House at the time, and he was working so hard that he had a heart attack, and he had to take some time off, and he's looking at it like, I'm going to lose the election, and so what do I do with all of this? He says, right. Um, he says, um, he goes to, uh, goes to this congressional district. And he said, you know,

again, Vietnam was a big issue. There were riots that were going on. Everybody was unhappy with the Democrats. And, um, he said, um,

he didn't plaster the, the airwaves with commercials. Instead, what he decided to do, and he was a majority leader, so he was the number two guy, but effectively he's like the Speaker of the House. Instead, what he did was he got into his car, and he started driving around this rural district without any staff and without really any preparation. He spent five days visiting 27 towns to meet the voters.

And in these towns, Albert would amble into gas stations and grocery stores. He would introduce himself to anyone and everyone. He took notes of what people said. He actually listened to them. There was plenty of grumbling about the riots, but over five days he encountered only one real redneck, he said, on the race question. Arriving in McCurtain, Oklahoma at 7 p.m., the local gas station, which doubled as the town grocery, was the only open business. He introduced himself to the owner, which resulted in a phone call to the mayor that

led to an impromptu community meeting at a closed department store that lasted until 10 p.m. Stops at local newspapers and banks resulted in earfuls about the riots that were going on. But Albert knew that it was better to have constituents vent their spleen than to ruminate in silence. Spontaneous visits to a store led to, spur of the moment, invites to rotary clubs that resulted in unplanned radio interviews, which spawned unexpected offers to speak at school assemblies. Word spread. Rural Oklahomans liked that their congressman shook their hand and asked for their thoughts.

And five days after the road trip commenced, Albert, the world-class worrywart, concluded, I feel like we will have no trouble in these communities. And throughout the summer, he continued to travel around his district and he made new friends. And then he won re-election, this liberal won re-election, a very conservative district with 68% of the vote. And so you contrast that to what these guys are doing and what Mika Brzezinski is doing. Again, what they're doing is simply reducing everybody to a stereotype.

As he says, rather than listen, rather than try to understand the complicated three-dimensional rural Americans, they just stereotype them. Unwilling to reach across the divide, Schaller and Waldman gorge themselves on negative nihilistic stereotypes. They regurgitate every stereotype that they have seen. In their view, rural whites vote Republican only to see their economic straits devolve. Angered at this turnabout, they flocked to Donald Trump. And by the way, he says, look, they always vote Republican. And so Republicans take them for granted. The same thing happens to urban blacks. It happens to rural whites. The urban blacks will always vote for the Democrats who never do anything for them. And the rural whites always vote for the Republicans who never do anything for them. Why? Because whether you're talking about Republicans

or Democrats, they're there serving themselves, not you. They don't even bother to listen to you. They're just like Mika Brzezinski and these other people. They talk at you and they don't share your concerns. And they don't share the burden of what these laws that are being passed are really about. And so he says in here, it's true that 65% of rural Americans voted for Trump in 2020, but it's also true that the Electoral College and the U.S. Senate give rural Americans outsized political power. No, that's not true. That is not true.

As a matter of fact, it's just the opposite. And I've pointed this out through multiple election cycles. You have in each state, you're always concerned about the big urban centers outweighing everything else that's there. That's particularly true, for example, in Virginia. In Virginia, you have the suburbs of Washington, D.C. You have the Norfolk area, which is a big military naval base that is there. And these are people who are not Virginians. They're not rural.

They don't really think about Virginia. They are more government-focused in their orientation and don't really care, don't have connections to the state like the people in the rural areas. And you see this in state after state. In Texas, for example, it was being pushed and pulled around by the big cities in many cases, but especially in places

like Virginia. Here in Tennessee, Nashville, Memphis are pulling around. Now, right now, they're not big enough to have that much clout, but there's an awful lot of money, more so than people in Nashville, and they have their way with the Tennessee governor,

Lee. And you can see this, and just no their way with the Tennessee governor, Lee. And you can see this, and just no more than I have been here looking at that. And so what happens is always the fact that you have these population centers that can swamp everything else. I've talked about this in terms of the county that we lived in in North Carolina. We moved to a rural county and it had been governed by people elected by, the county was governed by districts. And so you'd vote within a particular district for who was going to be on the county commission. And then you had a bunch of people that started coming in from neighboring Chapel Hill where the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill is, where we had the guy who did the gain-of-function experiment garbage with Fauci. But you had all these people who had a lot of money,

and they started coming in on the north side of the county, and they wanted to change everything, and they wanted to rule the county. And the way that they did it was they went from electing people uh in jurisdiction in different you know districts to having the county elections be at large so uh you get a slate of people that they ran that everybody in the county voted for because see prior to that they could only select the people that were in their area. And that's why you have the Electoral College. It basically is a firewall against a few large cities running the country. If you don't have that firewall of the Electoral College,

if you don't have the firewall of, and we need to give more power to the Senate in terms of the state selection of it by repealing that constitutional amendment that had senators elected at large. They should be appointed by the state as representative of state power. That would be an improvement. It was the wrong way to go with, I think it's the 17th Amendment. But again, you know, that is what he's saying is not true. It isn't that the rural voters have an outsized representation of anything. It's the other way around. He said the vast majority of Trump's 74 million votes came from suburban and urban voters.

But he said fewer than one in five Americans live in rural environments, and so, uh, they do not have outsized repu representation. Uh, he says, yes, Trump is a demagogue and a charlatan. And it is true that right-wing media spreads conspiracy theories and lies, but rural Americans are not budding authoritarians who represent the enemy within. They vote GOP because Democrats have ignored them for a generation. I would say no, because they've been attacked by Democrats.

I wouldn't have a problem if Democrats would ignore me. I wish they would. Instead, they seek us out and they attack us. They won't leave us alone. And so he says, Hogseth is correct in thinking that Democrats can win rural Wisconsin again, but they'll need to try. Well, he said they don't need to look any further than the example that Carl Albert gave them. interesting but um i think that the reality is that we can certainly see the bias the hatred of miko brzezinski of the left and we know that they're the ones who are building this into gemini so one last thing before we take a break and that is in florida desantis has signed a law to release records that could explain why Jeffrey Epstein got minimal charges.

Well, it's going to be interesting, perhaps. Who knows? Because Alex Acosta, Trump's pick for labor, as I pointed out the other day, very tied up in all of this. Yeah, it is kind of interesting to look at these people that Trump picked. Alex Azar, who was, you who was top lobbyist for Pfizer. And I'm sorry, not for Pfizer, for Eli Lilly, who got his start with the anthrax attack in 2001 and moved up through the bioweapon, biosecurity industry, but was right there at the very beginning and was training for all of that stuff.

He did such a great job for them. And they hired him just a couple of weeks before 9-11. Then immediately he gets put on the anthrax attack. And then he gets, after that, he gets moved up to deputy HHS. Then he becomes a lobbyist for the big corporation, Eli Lilly, which is on a path to become the first trillion dollar pharmaceutical company. And as then he becomes CEO of it. And they triple the price of things like insulin drugs. They extended their patents. They tripled the price. things like insulin drugs. You know, they extended their patents.

They tripled the price, very exploitative. And then when Trump is bought out by the pharmaceutical companies, when he uses RFK jr. To bump his price up, painting himself as a vaccine skeptic. So he could up his, his price to the pharmaceutical industry.

When the pharmaceutical industry paid off Trump, well, what'd they do? They brought back in Alex Azar, put him in as head of HHS. Nine months before this happened, he's going around to these biosecurity conferences and saying, we're going to have a pandemic of a respiratory flu thing. And then he was the one at the end of january of 2020 who declared the pandemic what trump did in march 13th was he released money emergency funds to bribe hospitals and everybody else to do his and governors especially to do his bidding so now desantis is looking at the jeffrey epstein thing this is another connection a Azar, the guy who was the labor secretary for Trump and got forced out when people realized

that he was the so-called prosecutor who gave a sweetheart deal to Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein's defense attorneys were Dershowitz, big Trump supporter now, and Ken Starr, who's now passed on. But Ken Starr was the one who gave a sweetheart deal to Bill Clinton. Another Jeffrey Epstein buddy, just like Donald Trump. DeSantis signed a bipartisan bill into law that will unearth more Jeffrey Epstein records. The law will allow for the release of records from a 2006 Florida grand jury. Prosecutors allowed Epstein's, I'm going to say prosecutors.

That's Alex's are allowed Epstein to plead guilty to only a single prostitution solicitation charge. They allowed him to escape accountability for raping and sexually abusing girls. Prosecutors decided to bring just a single victim before the grand jury, even though law enforcement had concluded that Epstein sexually abused more than 30 girls. See, this is exactly what Ken Starr did with Bill Clinton. We're going to make it about Monica Lewinsky and about him committing perjury about a consensual

thing, but we're going to call the rest of the people bimbos, trailer trash, and we're going to forget all the allegations of sexual, violent sexual assault and rape. And we're also going to forget all the allegations of bribery and economic corruption of the Clintons as well. We'll focus on one thing. And the fact that he said he didn't know her and then, you know, it was proven otherwise. Under this new law that DeSantis just signed in Florida,

a court could order grand jury evidence to be disclosed if the subject of the grand jury probe is deceased, and the investigation related to criminal or sexual activity, and the activity was between the target of the grand jury investigation and a minor. Looks like this was tailor-made for Jeffrey Epstein, just like grabbing nuisances. Escape clause was tailor-made for Panera Bread. We're going to raise the minimum wage for everybody except for Panera Bread. Oh, we won't say that. We'll say somebody who makes their own bread and sells it at retail along with everything else that they sell as food.

This is what they're doing, okay? He's dead. It's criminal or sexual activity directed towards minors. Well, that's Jeffrey Epstein. Taylor made for him that exemption. The Palm Beach police chief was so outraged that the grand jury only charged Epstein with one count that the FBI got involved. And the FBI later prepared a 53-page indictment against Epstein. But their probe was undercut by a deal that Epstein's lawyers struck.

Who were Epstein's lawyers? Alan Dershowitz, Ken Starr. They struck with then U.S. District Attorney Alex Acosta, who became Trump's Department of Labor pick. In the end, Epstein spent just 13 months in jail, much of it spent on work release where he hung out in his office. Like I said before, he got the kind of jail time that Otis and the Andy Griffith show got. He would check in,

he would sleep there. And then he'd go do his, you know, let himself in, let himself out. A 2019 Miami Herald investigation brought renewed interest and attention to the prosecutor's deals with Epstein. This led to a public outcry that forced Acosta,

who had become Trump's labor secretary, to resign. Federal prosecutors in Manhattan then opened a separate case into Epstein. In January, a federal judge unsealed the names of roughly 170 of Epstein's associates amid a separate lawsuit between one of his accusers and his sex trafficking partner, Ghislaine Maxwell. So when you, and in this, they're also talking to some of the people who were involved in this and outraged by what happened. Epstein's crimes were first reported to the FBI in 1996. What was going on with Trump and Epstein in 1996? They were BFFs.

Oh, they were partying together. Partying in New York, partying in Palm Beach, all this stuff. They were really best friends at that time. And the FBI was already looking at them. But it wasn't until a complaint was filed with Palm Beach Police Department in 2005 that Epstein came under scrutiny. And as I've said, they were really, really good friends until about that time. Just a couple of months after Trump and Epstein got into a spat over a piece of property that went up for sale because the guy died or was so old that

he had to get rid of it or something like that. But they both wanted that piece of property. They had to have it. And they got into a contentious competition for that. And that poisoned their friendship at that point in time. But up to that point in time, for over a decade, they were really, really, really close friends friends trump was close friends with the clintons with the epstein with epstein all the rest of the stuff and as i said it was kind of curious just a couple of months after that that somebody anonymously reported jeffrey epstein to the police and that kicked this whole thing off isn't that interesting? Anyway, he came under scrutiny. Kushner, who had a reputation

for aggressively prosecuting crimes against children, initially said that he didn't know who Epstein was, but he told the police, I'm going to put him behind bars for the rest of his life. Palm Beach detectives took statements from victims, many of them terrified of Epstein, who told them basically the same story.

They were offered money to give a wealthy man massages, massages that then turned into assaults at his Palm Beach mansion. Epstein hired a team of influential lawyers, among them Alan Dershowitz, Ken Starr, and Roy Black. According to police, Epstein also hired private investigators who stalked his victims and their families. Soon, Kirshner, the prosecutor, began questioning whether Epstein should be charged with any crimes. Most troubling to the police, however, was prosecutors labeling the victims as prostitutes, even though some of them were as young as 13. Detective Joe Ricari testified in 2006 before the grand jury. He said the prosecutors repeatedly postponed the grand jury,

then they rescheduled at the last minute. By this time, some of the young women had moved away or were in college. The rescheduling would force victims to travel long distances, miss classes on short notice. But behind the scenes, prosecutors were unsuccessfully trying to get Epstein to plead to lesser charges. And when that failed, Kirshner took the unusual step of impaneling a grand jury, a move that is usually reserved for homicide cases.

Ricari and his police chief, Michael Reitner, were so troubled by what they saw as a state attorney minimizing Epstein's crimes that they took the case to the FBI in 2007. Ricari, who died after a short illness in 2018, had never given an on-the-record interview until the Miami Herald approached him about the case in 2017. Ryder also spoke publicly for the first time about the case as part of the Miami Herald's Perversion of Justice series. The series also included interviews with Epstein's victims,

detailed how Epstein and his lawyers managed to manipulate prosecutors into giving him an extraordinarily lenient deal that was kept secret from his victims and from their attorneys. He then avoided being in jail for long periods of time by getting an unusual incarceration arrangement in which he spent almost all of his waking hours in a luxurious office suite in downtown Palm Beach. He rarely spent time in jail. He was allowed to have young women visit him at his office as well. After the Miami Herald series, DeSantis had asked the Florida Department of Law Enforcement

to investigate the state prosecution as well as Epstein's unusual jail privileges. Then in 2021, state investigators said they found no evidence that Kirshner and state attorney Lana Belovic or the Palm Beach sheriff in charge of the jail committed any wrongdoing. However, they would not let them see the grand jury records. And so that is why this law has been passed. They wanted to get the grand jury records to see what was going on with that. We're gonna take a quick break. We'll be right back.

Looking for better information. A P S radio news.com features articles and commentary along with audio from all the top news from around the world. A P SioNews.com Thank you. © transcript Emily Beynon You're listening to The David Knight Show. Like 08, 09, smartphones came on and kids started, they stopped living their lives and started watching people live their lives. And so we saw the biggest spike and the highest levels of depression, anxiety, loneliness and suicidality since records have ever been kept. And it's just continued on and on and on. And then COVID hits 10 years later. And the same agencies that knew that are the agencies that shut down the schools for two years.

Who does that? Who takes away the support system for these children? Who takes them away and shuts it down? And by the way, when they shut it down, they stopped the mandated reporters from being able to see children that were being abused and sexually molested and in fact sent them home and abandoned them to their abusers with no way to watch and referrals dropped 50 to 60 percent so it was also a pandemic going on they were trying to save they were trying to save kids lives remember we know a lot of folks who died during this so it wasn't you weren't laying around but well you know what we're lucky maybe we're lucky they didn't because we kept them out of the places that they could be sick because no one wanted to believe we had an issue.

Are you saying no schoolchildren died of COVID? I'm saying it was the safest group. They were the less vulnerable group and they suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of COVID than they will from the exposure to COVID. And that's not an opinion. That's a fact. Well, yep, they all know that's a fact. As a matter of fact, that was the whole narrative.

Don't they remember what the original narrative was? It was all the old people. We got to protect the old people. As a matter of fact, that was the key signal that this was not some kind of a pandemic or disease that was going around signal that this was not some kind of a pandemic or disease that was going around because it was heavily skewed. It looked exactly like the actuarial tables of life expectancy. It was always the old people, people who were at or above life expectancy who had two and

a half comorbidities. We had two weeks worth of data from Italy. They kept talking about that. Oh, we got to vaccinate the old people. Give it to the old people first. Remember all that? The last people they gave it to were the kids.'re saying that was to save their lives no no uh they never even tried to come up with a lying narrative to make that that wasn't even a part of their

lying narrative and the excess deaths that we pointed out were because of what was being done by the hospitals to people it wasn't because there was any pandemic. But you notice how they turned. They were all with him when he talked about this plague of loneliness, this isolation that had been set there. But then when he talks about how the actions of Trump and Biden made it worse. Oh, well, wait a minute. Now we're talking about COVID. These people are my sponsors.

Right? There's general thing. Oh yeah, this whole thing. They're just, you know, kind of setting home and playing with their phone and disconnected from the world. Well, that's safe for them. But as soon as he starts talking about their sponsors, the pharmaceutical industry, the politicians and the rest of the stuff.

Oh no, no, no. Now we're not going to allow him to say anything about that. So he says, then COVID hits 10 years later in the same agencies that knew that they are the agency shut down the school for two years. Who does that? Who takes away a support system for these kids? Well, again, this was about their sponsors who were paying their checks. So she says they're trying to save kids' lives.

No, they weren't. That was never, that wasn't the lie, whoopee. You got another lie replacing the other lies. And we've got Fauci now, and I'll get to this in a moment. We got Fauci saying, well, you know, maybe these mRNA vaccines are not what we need to be doing for respiratory disease. Huh? Really? Well, you know, maybe ventilators aren't what you're supposed to do either because you never did that either.

You kill people with your ventilators to kick off and to prepare the way for your mass murder injections. So he says, no, I'm saying it was the safest group. They were less vulnerable group and they suffered and will suffer more from the mismanagement of COVID than they will from the exposure to COVID. That's not an opinion. That's a fact. And you heard the audience break into applause. Well, we've had the COVID vaccine mandate has been ruled unlawful by the Supreme Court

by a Supreme Court in Australia. This is the Queensland Supreme Court. They had vaccine mandates for police and for ambulance workers. They declared this to be unlawful in a landmark Supreme Court ruling this week. In a decision handed down on Tuesday, the Queensland Supreme Court found that the police commissioner and his direction for, I'm sorry, woman, Katarina's direction for mandatory COVID vaccination issued in December of 2021 was unlawful under the Human Rights Act. Isn't it interesting how they're all on the same page, the same time frame and everything? They miss it maybe by one or two months,

but they're all doing the same things at the same time. A similar COVID vaccination mandate ordered by the Director General of Queensland Health at the same time was determined to be of no effect. With the enforcement of both mandates and any related disciplinary actions to be banned they said in the court decision that the police commissioner did not consider the human rights ramification you know things like informed consent and stuff like that those old-fashioned ideas to ideas. However, a human rights lawyer said that there was an ominous caveat about all of this. He said they won because the commissioner did not appropriately consider the human rights advice

that she received. However, the court also found that although each of the directions limited the workers' right to full, free, and informed consent under Section 17 of the Human Rights Act, the limit was reasonable in all of the circumstances. So if the commissioner could have proved that she had considered the advice that she received regarding human rights, her workplace vaccination directives would likely have been considered to be lawful, even if she ignored those. So what they're saying is, you didn't even pay attention when people said, hey, you need to consider the human rights, which is, I don't care. But if she had looked at it and said, I've looked at that, and I've considered that, and I'm going to do this anyway because I don't really care what your human rights are,

well, then the court would have said, oh, well, that's okay then. This is where we are. This is where, throughout Western society, whether you're talking about Australia or America or Canada or Europe or anything, this is where we are. They really don't care about the principles of human rights. They don't care about

informed consent. They feel that they're free to do whatever they wish to us. As a matter of fact, this is about ambulance drivers and police officers, but nurses and doctors are still subject to the mandate and to disciplinary action if they don't get vaccinated. While the Queensland police and ambulance services are now prohibited from enforcing COVID vaccine mandates, the mandates remain in place for some nurses, midwives and doctors. That is just absolutely amazing to me. Um,

and, uh, embedded in this article is a video. I'm seven months pregnant. A Queensland nurse is fired for refusing a COVID jab, an untested vaccine, even when she is seven months pregnant. Well, you know, Fauci has backed off of the vaccine.

Fauci says vaccines are not a good strategy to control respiratory viruses. Yes, he actually said this. Can you believe it? This guy will say anything. Yeah. Well, masks are not good. And then he says,

no, you got to wear a mask. Now you got to wear two or three masks and all the rest of the stuff, social distancing. He's changed his position on everything. And now he can read the writing on the wall and he is pulling back against the vaccines and he's even talking about the lab leak theory why, because that gives him cover.

I think that he realizes the people are onto this game. And even though he is very old, none of these people ever think they're going to die. That's why you got people like Mitch McConnell and Dianne Feinstein, Nancy Pelosi and Joe Biden and Donald Trump keep running for office. Into their 70s, into their 80s. Some of them are in good health. Others, even though they're in very, very poor health, they continue to run. And so even though Fauci is getting older, he's still in very good shape.

And maybe he's worrying that there could be a jail cell in his future. There certainly should be. So he's going to distance himself now from the vaccines. It's like, well, you know, I got mistakes were made, you know, I've corrected the mistakes now. And so he said that this report going back to 2023, January 2023, Fauci and two colleagues outlined their concerns and the interplay between respiratory viruses and the human immune system.

Under systemic infections, they claim, respiratory viruses primarily replicate in the mucosal linings of the airways, posing unique challenges for vaccine-induced immunity. This, of course, as a writer, is not true. According to their theory of viruses, it replicates in any cell with an ACE2 receptor in the highest density of virus detected in the lining of the gut. But we'll move on from Fauci's inability to grasp the full scientific literature. Again, he has done a 180 degree turn from previous statements and from the public health strategies, the demands, the mandates, the bribery, the blackmail that relied on mRNA technology.

And so they point out, they said, well, there's three different aspects of this report. And I'll just, I won't go into the details of it, but mucosal versus systemic immunity. Number two, durability of protection. Number three, immune imprinting. And so he says, yeah, in all these different areas, it's just maybe it's not a good fit. In multiple areas, he says. It's like, how could you have gotten this wrong? The writer, and this is from Popular Rationalism, says, pardon me while I duct tape my head

to keep it from exploding. So he concludes that ongoing research and development and vaccine technology is the answer. So, you know, even though this didn't work, oh, we got to do more of it, right? This is always the case. Whenever they do something, they will not admit to a mistake. If they say that the mission failed somehow,

well, that just means that we need to do more of what I was doing and we need to have more staff and on and on. Meanwhile, a CDC panel is investigating whether the new RSV vaccine made by Pfizer is causing Guillain-Barre syndrome. Daily Mail points out it's rare. It's rare, right? That's their excuse. Well, again, it used to not matter if it was rare. We had nine states outlaw the swine flu vaccine back in the 1970s because of a couple of deaths.

And because people were getting Guillain-Barre syndrome. That was the problem with a woman that was interviewed by Mike Wallace. She had Guillain-Barre syndrome, and it paralyzed her. She was working to get back some limited mobility and to be able to walk with braces and crutches and stuff like that. But, you know, it was very rare. But they still stopped it. And just like we talk about the Boeing 737 MAX, they had two crashes out of 2,500 crashes, I think it was. But of 2,500 crashes. I think it was.

It was thousands of crashes. And they want to say that even though everybody died on these two planes, they didn't just say, well, it was rare. We're going to keep going. I'm thinking maybe it was more than that. I'm trying to remember that number but anyway um the uh inquiry was based on about two dozen cases of guillain-barre and people over 60 who got the vaccine uh and it was supposedly nine and a half million people who got the vaccine over 60 or a couple of dozen cases of this but

this is the type of thing that they would have pulled it from the market completely now they make an excuse well it, it's rare. We'll look at it a little bit more closely, but we're not going to stop anything. It was higher than expected. Officials are gathering more information to determine whether the vaccines are causing the problem. You know, maybe if we hadn't stopped doing testing of vaccines because of Trump's warp speed stuff, and that's become another precedent, just like gun control by executive order.

We have products without even doing any testing. So now that's become the norm. We are going to, whenever this happens, we are going to have to just put up with it. We don't really care. You know, when you look at what are they gaining, you know, RSV, that's something that's been around for a very, very long time. People die from flu. People die from colds.

They die from respiratory diseases. But wait a minute, what did they say? Rare, rare. And it's more people dying from that than die from measles, for example. But they're very, you know, focused on the measles vaccine out of all proportion. But just think about this. Would you rather take your chances with a temporary cold or flu or RSV or something like that? Or would you rather take a chance that you're going to be paralyzed and perhaps permanently paralyzed? Uh, because some of

these people are, uh, that's where informed consent comes in. You should be able to make that decision, not somebody else. Doctors confirm a vaccine connection after a young Ontario woman is paralyzed following a Moderna shot. What was their solution? They offered her euthanasia. We'll kill you. How about that?

Put you out of your misery. Yeah, it was from the vaccine. It was from the Trump shot. We don't really have anything we could do other than kill you. You know what it is to kill you? A young mother's life has been turned upside down in the wake of receiving her Moderna Trump shot. It was a booster. She's 37 years old.

She had her life turned upside down as a mother she received the booster shot on january the 11th 2022 she began experiencing alarming symptoms culminating in her complete paralysis less than two weeks later despite the initial skepticism from emergency department staff, an MRI revealed a significant lesion on her spinal cord. A neurologist documented on an audio recording expressed his belief that the vaccine was a likely cause of her condition, a view that was later confirmed with the diagnosis of transverse myelitis, a rare inflammatory disorder caused by damage to the spinal cord, documented to be one of the known symptoms of this vaccine. And so their response was to offer her maid medical assistance in dying.

And she refused. Her condition has resulted in the loss of her job, her home, and her ability to co-parent her son, reducing her to reliance on provincial disability support and the assistance of care workers for her daily needs. A group of Veterans for Freedom has set up a Give, Send, Go campaign to raise funds so that she can get a service dog. They said that

would not only help her with a daily task but will help to give her companionship which she greatly needs so just mention that you can find that article at um gateway pundit where you can find that link to the donation um, the donation, uh, then another woman now she can't have children. Uh, again, this is another one of these shots. This was somebody who was featured in Senator Ron Johnson, who is holding hearings, trying to give a voice to the people who have been injured by these Trump shots. And, um, the husband says somebody needs to make them pay.

Who needs to be punished for this? Who needs to pay for this? Pfizer, Moderna, Trump, Biden, Fauci. You think any of them are going to pay for any of this stuff? So she's 36 years old. Her husband says she chose a career, got the baby family bug, and now she can't have children because of the vaccine. She cries all the time.

She apologizes to me like it's her fault, but it's not her fault. He says somebody needs to make them pay. We need safeguards so that this doesn't happen again. Johnson's forum is titled Federal Health Agencies and the COVID Cartel. What are they hiding? Featured a roundtable discussion, including 22 testimonials from scientists, medical doctors, former government officials and journalists about what they said were problems with the vaccines and government efforts to censor the dangers well the problem is is that um you know they're not only censoring the dangers but you've got this boasting narcissist trump who is telling everybody that he saved

millions of lives and how this is one of the greatest things ever invented by man and biden is essentially the same way. That's why I say they got blood on their hands. The people who are conservative journalists who are supporting them, people like Wayne Allen Root telling everybody that Trump is a miracle. He's a gift from God. You know, he's the suffering servant,

God's anointed chosen one and all the the rest of this garbage, was telling this miraculous suffering servant chosen by God. He's telling him, shut up. Everybody knows your stuff is poison. Stop bragging about poisoning everybody, Messiah. Boy, you talk about a cult of suicidal Kool-Aid. That's what people like Wayne Allen Root and Alex Jones and all the rest of these people. Oh, it's just sugar water.

Take it. Take it. Well, look at what happened to these people. The cover-ups including both the origins of COVID-19 in China. See, this is part of the problem, this lab lie. If you're in Congress, where are the bills being offered even by Senator Johnson or by Rand Paul who loved to harangue Fauci over the gain of function stuff, especially in China? Why don't they offer some legislation to shut this thing down? They did shut it down legally in 2014.

They told Francis Collins, who was Fauci's boss, they told Collins and Fauci, stop it. We've had a lot of accidents. We've had a lot of sick animals released out into the wild. You're going to get people sick with this stuff. We've had accidents where people have been exposed in these labs to highly toxic diseases. Stop it. And then they continued it.

Francis Collins said when he released the research from the university of north carolina chapel hill a couple years after they had told him to stop it he said well and he was criticized by scientists in the industry for doing that they said there's no reason to do this nothing good can come of any of this stuff and it's more and it's dangerous it's not just a waste of money. It's dangerous what you're doing. And he said, well, I made the determination myself that we're going to continue with this. Francis Collins, head of the NIH, head of Fauci and Fauci, decided they didn't really care what Congress said. But see, Congress is not even trying at this point in time.

They're not even trying to stop this. And that's a big red flag, isn't it? When these people keep talking about lab leaks and how dangerous all this stuff is, it just happened in Canada as well. You had Pallier, the conservative guy, I can't pronounce his name, Pierre Pallier or something like that. He was out there talking.

First thing he talks about are these gain-of-function labs and everything. These people are laying out, as I said yesterday, they're laying out an alibi for people like Fauci and Trump and Biden, and then they're laying down the expectation that there's going to be some disease X, some major pandemic, and this time it could be real. And we were told by people like Alex Jones and Gateway Pundit and all that, that it was real when it came around the first time. They were all saying that.

This lab leak stuff is a dangerous misdirection. It's an alibi, and it's preparing the path for this to be done again. So CDC is telling people 65 and older to take more COVID booster shots. Less than 42% of adults aged 65 and above have taken the updated COVID-19 vaccines. Well, that's good news. People are starting to catch on to these lies. That means that 58%, almost 60% of the people have caught on to these lies. Even Fauci is pulling back and saying, well, maybe that's not the right thing to do. And yet the CDC pushes on. Even Fauci is pulling back. And yet the CDC says, continue. The West Virginia House has now passed a bill to allow religious exemption for students who are the universities are giving them these these vaccine mandates.

And so. It's and there's a tremendous number of universities that are still mandating these vaccines and still mandating boosters. It's just amazing. And the media is freaking out still about measles in Florida. This headline with 10 measles cases in Florida, state health officials fail to provide information. Oh, 10 cases. Well, you know, quite frankly, that's more than they had when they started declaring a global pandemic, isn't it? They didn't have that many cases when Alex Azar declared a pandemic and started this whole ball rolling. They didn't have anybody dying when Trump did his March, Friday the 13th executive order.

So they're really on him about measles. And so Latipo, the Surgeon General of Florida, DeSantis' pick, was telling parents at Manatee Bay in Weston that the decision whether to keep their children home was up to them. Can you imagine that? How in the world could you have a government official telling people, telling parents that they can have an informed decision about what their children do? Again, this is no big deal, but they're freaking out. Florida health officials have not been forthcoming with information about the disease that's spread.

Guess what? Somebody needs to tell this bedwetting press that nobody has died. They need to tell them that there's many of us who are alive whose parents used to send us for sleepovers so we could get done with these childhood diseases when they were going around. And we got lifetime immunity from them. So let me just finish up with this. How modern medicine dehumanizes us. By Dr. David Bell.

He said a close friend died recently of a rare and aggressive cancer. From diagnosis, he had several months of generally positive life through a difficult time. He maintained a sense of humor, a rational view of the world, and loyalty to friends. He'd always been good at seeing things that others didn't and so forth, but he says his cancer was treated in the modern way. So there was a team that specialized in radiating the cancer to shrink it. Another group specialized in poisoning cancerous cells. He said, but somewhere, nobody ever was tasked with giving him any dietary advice.

That seemed to fall through the cracks. Nobody's going to change anything about that. Don't really care about what you eat, right? He said, but to understand modern institutional palliative care, it is best to understand what happened next. After he's put into, things got worse and they put him into palliative care, it is best to understand what happened next. After he's put into, things got worse and they put him into palliative care. He said, Matt was placed in a room on the main corridor near the nurse's desk. The door was left ajar so that he could be observed. This room was painted gray. It had no windows. It had no pictures on the wall. It had a couple of chairs and some fixtures for oxygen, a basin, an antiseptic dispenser, and a cupboard.

Day and night became irrelevant, as in any windowless cell. After some days, Matt was said to be nonresponsive and may not be here for long, which surprised us, as he had been quite stable and well-oriented shortly before. When friends visited, he could talk and he could interact, and he appreciated stable and well-oriented shortly before. When friends visited, he could talk and he could interact and he appreciated visitors and he thanked them for coming. But later, he would be reported to have lapsed into unresponsiveness again. And this was confusing to those of us who knew him. He said over multiple visits, a nurse came in only with a syringe to inject what turned out to be his palliative care, morphine and midazolam. I started to see this midazolam a lot, right?

This was the thing that Matt Hancock, this bureaucrat who had absolutely no medical experience whatsoever, was pushing out to people, hastening their death. They were talking about using it as murder in the UK. And he upped it to many, many times. What was it? Six or eight times what they had been consuming. Grab this stuff so they could hasten people's deaths.

Madazzle him. He said morphine dulls the pain and the mind and it suppresses breathing. Madazzle him reduces the ability to respond. So the recipient stops crying out for help when he wets himself or is embarrassed about being naked or is thirsty. He said, when we went to see him, they had him just laying there on the bed naked. Didn't even bother to put any covers on him.

He said when staff were requested to withhold the midazolam, Matt was able to converse with others, to express his needs and to answer questions. Is this perhaps why Matt Hancock and the NHS in the UK, is that perhaps why they started with this massive amount of midazolam? Another way to keep people from complaining? To keep people from asking for help, just like they took the families away so they couldn't do anything about it? Yeah, I think so. Lone individuals seldom act in a systematically abusive and callous way toward a stranger.

When they do, we call them sociopaths or even psychopaths. But he says, an institution that is made up of individuals can do this, however, very easily. We drown the call of conscience and empathy and group think and routines. Just think of the Milgram experiment, for example. Oh, well, people in authority are telling me I need to do this. It's just the way the machine works, whether it's train loads of people from the ghetto or whether it's corralled refugees or forgotten faces locked in a nursing home. We receive permission to devalue others, not realizing that they are ourselves. In Western medicine,

it has allowed us to separate the tumor from the person. And then where necessary, we kill the person before death, making it all so much less traumatic or intrusive on our own routines. So he says, thanks to neighbors and friends who cared, Matt was returned home on a stretcher with visits by a good community health team and support from friends. The midazolam and the morphine it turned out had mainly served to help the institution to function,

preventing Matt from interrupting their routine, preventing them from having to have human contact with him. Just drug him up so we don't have to worry about it. At home, he had human contact. He had music. He had sunlight through a window. He had conversation that was natural rather than an imposition. This might be a revelation to some people, especially in this age and where we shut the elderly or the dying away from their family.

And not just in this age, but in this pandemic, especially. You just label somebody as COVID and they're gone. He said Matt died a few days at home, but when he died, he was not naked to passerbys in a gray windowless room on a urine-soaked plasticized sheet, but he was at home surrounded by friends. He was still a person, a wonderful one, despite all that progress could achieve. Yeah, that's what we call medical progress, right? Well, I said that was going to be the last thing. I've got one more thing I want to cover here,

and that is in Tennessee, there is a state bill that has been introduced to label foods if they have a vaccine in them. And this was laughed off when it was introduced by a Republican representative. It was laughed off by a Democrat. You know, essentially like, oh, you're some kind of a paranoid conspiracy theorist. You think they're putting vaccines in the food? Well, they've been talking about this since 2021. The University of California said we can put vaccines in the food.

Known as Tennessee House Bill 1894. It is known as the Lettuce Bill. A short one-page legislature that defines food that contains a vaccine or vaccine material as a drug. For the purposes of the Tennessee Food and Drugs Cosmetic Act. Now, this is very interesting. Again, it's very much like what we've just seen happening with the geoengineering disclosure, both in New Hampshire and also another bill here in Tennessee,

where they said, if you're going to be spraying stuff in the atmosphere or in the water or anything, you better let us know. And if you don't, and we find out about it, we're going to give you some really heavy fines. And so they define vaccine or vaccine material, meaning a substance intended for use in humans to stimulate the production of antibodies and to provide immunity against disease, prepared from the causative agent of the disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute. That would be the mRNA type, right?

Treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease that is authorized or approved by the United States Food and Drug Association. During the hearing, the Republican who introduced this, his name is Sepiky, I think, C-E-P-I-C-K-Y. I'm not sure how you pronounce that. He said, what I'm saying here is that there's no law deeming those that when you go into a grocery store, you should know as a consumer that this head of lettuce is a head of lettuce. And the head of lettuce right next to it could contain a vaccine in it. And what we're saying is, if it does have the vaccine in it, make sure it's listed as a pharmaceutical so people can get

the proper dosage that's all he's asking for and that's why i said this is interesting from another number of standpoints you're starting to get bills introduced these people are laughing at all well that's a bunch of conspiracy theory but people know stuff is being sprayed in the atmosphere people know that food is being deliberately contaminated they've been bragging about this universities have been bragging about it gates has been bragging about this. Universities have been bragging about it. Gates has been bragging about it. He argued that researchers at the University of California, UC Davis, and others have perfected the ability of genetically engineering foods to have things such as mRNA in them, and therefore prompted him to introduce the bill to get ahead of this before such food enters the market. The committee chairman, John Ray Clemens of Nashville,

found this to be humorous. Well, I don't think that's allowed under state law presently. Are we going to have Walgreens pharmacists in the refrigerator section? I mean, how is this thing going to play out? Yeah, pretending to be stupid. Or maybe he really is just stupid, right? Maybe he's just ignorant and uninformed. Maybe he's not stupid. maybe he really is just stupid right maybe he's just ignorant and uninformed maybe he's not stupid maybe he just doesn't read much the psychopay

sapiki did he said um this is more of a consumer protection bill uh it's made to make sure that you're going to buy tomatoes if there's a polio vaccine in there that you're aware of what you're buying, it's got a polio vaccine in it. He said the problem is here is that it's not treated as a pharmaceutical. He says the size and the difference, for example, between you and me. He said, if we're going to put a vaccine in a tomato, how many tomatoes do I have to eat to get the proper dosage versus how many tomatoes you have to eat. If you eat too many, you get an overdose. This, folks, is the same argument I've made for years about fluoride.

Even before we talk about whether or not the vaccine is safe and effective, before we even talk about whether or not fluoride is safe and effective, the issue is dosage. How are you going to correct the dosage if you put it in food? How are you going to correct the dosage if you put the fluoride in water? Well, quite frankly, there isn't any medical explanation for that. The only way that you can explain that is that they're trying to do harm to people because they're either going to not give you a sufficient dosage to handle whatever this is supposed to fix, or they're going to give you too much, which in itself is very definition of a poison, you know, during all of

this COVID vaccine stuff, a lot of people were pointing out, I don't know if it was Australia or New Zealand, uh, the, the pharmaceutical government agencies actually call poisons. I, and it's kind of, um, you kind of going back to potions and stuff like that. But any pharmaceutical drug is a poison if you get too much of it. And so how do you control the dosage? He says if you eat too little, like we had in the cattle industry, with dosing our cattle properly, the horn flies were developing an immunity to it.

But if we don't have the proper dosage of the vaccine, it could lead to the efficacy of that drug not working anymore. So you don't even have to talk about the harm that's being done. You don't even talk about the safety of it. You don't talk about overdoses. You say, well, what if we underdose? Well, then it's not going to be effective, right? And so this has been around since 2021, three years ago.

We'll be right back. Whether you're feeling like the blues or bluegrass, APS Radio has you covered. Check out a wide variety of channels on our app at apsradio.com. In a world of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. You're listening to The David Knight Show. Well, let me take some of the emails we've had recently, and I even have one that Karen saw this morning as I was reading, and it was about Ask Me Anything.

And they didn't get a chance to ask me anything, so I've got an answer maybe for Matt. I don't know. I haven't read it yet. We printed it out. But anyway, this is from Chris. He says, take a look at what is happening in Ukraine, the Democrats, how they're funding their programs.

Actually, I talked about this one yesterday, so let me skip this. It was, we were talking about Letitia James and how she was living very large, a life of luxury, which typically is what happens with these people. But again, marking some of these luxurious lives, the life of the rich and political, I guess. Where's Archibald Leach? Wasn't that the guy that had Lifesty life of the rich and political, I guess. Where's Archibald Leach? Wasn't that the guy that had Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous? But at the same time she's doing all of that, she has, and I don't think I got through this talking about this,

she goes to war against JBS Foods, a big producer of beef, because they've got to stop meat, right? She is doing everything she can to endear herself to the people who are pushing these agendas, the globalist agendas, so that she can run for higher office. She said the beef industry is one of the largest contributors to climate change, and they have falsely advertised their commitment to sustainability and endangered our planet.

Well, maybe they shouldn't have bragged about how they were following ESG or some of these other things. Just push back against CO2. Don't try to talk about how you're cutting your emissions. Her office has filed a lawsuit, did it Wednesday, against JBS USA, a division of the Brazilian meatpacking giant, the world's largest producer of beef products, because they've got to, by hook or by crook, stop us from being able to eat meat.

JBS USA has claimed that it will achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2040, despite documented plans to increase production, therefore increase its carbon footprint, said Letitia James. Go after Trump, go after the NRA, go after meat, all the rest of this stuff. And what is she doing it on the basis of? Well, the basis of fraud. And yet when you look at her expenses, office expenses at a luxury hotel, You mark that off as office expenses.

So the attorney general's office noted that animal agriculture accounts for nearly 15% of annual global greenhouse gas emissions. We'll just tell her to eat cake. Tell her we don't really care about your CO2 fantasies. Let's stop playing this game. But again, they made themselves culpable because they bragged about their esg and so she called it greenwashing well everything in all of

this climate stuff is ultimately green washing and then we had someone from South Carolina send this to me. He said, this story about a woman voting in South Carolina, even though she fell and broke her hip at the voting station, they did an article showing how she was so adamant that she needed to vote for Trump that she got them to bring out the, and I've got a picture of it here somewhere. Yeah, here we are. They got them to bring out the voting machine so she could vote with her broken hip laying on the sidewalk.

There she is. And so they did a Facebook thing about it. This is dedication. She broke her hip and refused to let the ambulance take her away until they brought her the handicap ballot machine to vote on. Wow. Hashtag Trump 2024. It's a miracle. Miracle. Where's Trump when you need him? Yeah, I'm sure that he could heal it if he showed up. So I just got to say that if this had happened to her in 2020, if she wanted to go vote for Trump in 2020 and she fell and broke her hip in 2020, do you think they would

have given her medical care? They would have taken her to the hospital. If they didn't smother her to death with one of the Trump ventilators, they would have told her, sorry, we don't have a bed. We got to save all the beds in case somebody comes down with COVID. I'm serious. You know, that was what was happening. People being denied and turned away medical care because we got the viruses everywhere. We got to, I know the beds are empty right now, but any moment now, they could all be filled up and we got to keep you away from getting any care with

your broken hip got to keep all these beds open just in case but people commented on this facebook post said a liberal would not have had the fortitude to vote after a broken hip only a god-fearing conservative and of course i put god's name in lowercase no don't bet on it let Let me tell you something. Democrats are even more dedicated. Democrats, a broken hip,

Democrats vote after they die. That's how dedicated they are. Another one says, I wish Trump could see this. She needs a phone call from him.

A true patriot. Hope she's doing well and all the rest of this. She needs a phone call from him. A true patriot. Hope she's doing well and all the rest of this stuff. It's just amazing to me. But again, none of that surpasses what I saw from Wayne Allen Root. A miracle. God's chosen one. He's right there. And then this is a follow-up to the story that I had about Bill Gates

releasing these genetically modified mosquitoes in various places and the radio to stop dengue fever and the rate of dengue fever going up by 400%. And so Jason says, dengue fever has a very nasty side effect. A second infection years after the infection causes a cytokine storm that kills. If Bill Gates is releasing mosquitoes that cause dengue fever, this is huge.

Well, yeah. I mean, the bottom line is, is that even if you stop and think about this, let's say that this is a legitimate approach to try to a long-term approach. We're going to release sterilized mosquitoes that will breed with other mosquitoes and then nothing will happen and so we will over the long term reduce the population you know like they've done with us humans you know that's the strategy we'll sterilize male or female or both and gradually reduce the population, track the remaining people, kill a lot of them, surveil and track everybody else

until we've got complete control. Well, if that was the case, we're going to reduce the population gradually by doing this. Even though you sterilize these mosquitoes, you still release them out into the wild, and they're still going to be able to transmit dengue fever. So it's not rocket science to know that if you release, you know, tens or hundreds of millions of mosquitoes, that dengue fever is going to go up.

That's a given. It's not even a question that something like that is going to happen. So, yeah, he is culpable in all of this. Because it's a boneheaded scheme. These mosquitoes that are alive but sterile are still going to be spreading dengue fever just because they can't reproduce doesn't mean they can't, uh, reproduce dengue fever, which is what these things always do. I mentioned this briefly.

Um, this was from, um, a listener who, uh, wanted to send me an email because I talked to, I'd had a quote about CS Lewis. I said, I really enjoy, uh, CS Lewis is, uh, uh because I had a quote about C.S. Lewis. I said, I really enjoy C.S. Lewis's take on a lot of issues. And he said, just a quick note on C.S. Lewis. I'll read this to you. And he says that like many new converts in intellectually oriented churches today, I was quickly introduced to C.S. Lewis. I read many of his books early on, 1980 to 1990,

My New Life in Christ. It wasn't until about 2006 I noticed that sprinkled amongst his brilliant sound truth bites were alarming lies and some dangerous conclusions. He says he's kind of a type of Alex Jones in the sense of lies being mixed with truth. Well, let me just say this. The difference is we all have lies mixed with truth whether we realize it or not we all even if we're trying our best to tell the truth we may get stuff wrong that's why i say we don't trust anybody you know um if um if i say something uh you should check me right and when it comes to religion the standard is not what david says

it's what does the bible say and it's not what c.s lew Lewis says or J.R.R. Tolkien or G.K. Chesterton or whatever. It's what does the Bible say? And so the difference is whether you knowingly lie to somebody. That's what Alex was doing, knowingly lying to somebody for fame and for fortune. That's a very different thing than what C.S. Lewis did. And I disagree with C.S. Lewis on some things. And I said the other day, I disagree with, for example, John Lewis, who I think is a great apologist to atheists. However, he has some things because he's coming from a scientific background. He just can't bring himself to be a young earth creationist, even if that is

the best explanation for what the Bible is saying in Genesis. I can't accept that. So he writes a book about that. And he's absolutely, I think, absolutely wrong about that. You can go back and look at it yourself. Don't take my word for it. Don't take his word for it.

But he says he can be very dangerous in some of the things that he put out. I could list many things, but he goes, here are some of the quotes I just mentioned. He said, this is from C.S. Lewis, there are people in other religions who are being led by God's secret influence to concentrate on those parts of their religion, which are in agreement with Christianity, and who thus belong to Christ without knowing it. For example, a Buddhist of goodwill may be led to concentrate more and more on the Buddhist teaching about mercy and to leave in the background, though he might still say that he believed, to leave in the background the Buddhist teachings on certain points. And many good pagans long before Christ's birth and so forth. And then this, Christ saves many who do not think that they know him. Well, true faith comes by hearing the word of God. And Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to

the Father except through me. That is the offense of Christianity. And many times somebody who works in an environment like Oxford, who comes from an intellectual background, they will try to not be confrontational, even if they're writing in the middle of the 20th century, like C.S. Lewis did. You know, he died on the same day as JFK was assassinated. Nobody even noticed, even though he'd been pretty well known. It just comes down to what are you trusting, right? And are you truly following God? And it also doesn't come down to us, you know, he says, well, maybe they're being led to focus in their other religion on certain

aspects of mercy. Well, they need to understand and they need to trust in what Christ has done for them, don't they? Because they have to do something with their sin. And there isn't anything in the Buddhist religion that says, what do you do about your sin? You just work to be a better person, and you work to do good works, and God is going to approve you on the basis of your works. Well, there are rewards and there are punishment based on what we do in this life, and there are rewards and punishment in this life,

and in eternity there's rewards you can have. But if you want to escape punishment, you've got to do something with that sin, and that's why Christ came and died. And that's the thing that is unique, and that's why he is the way. And you can't come to God if you have sin. There isn't anything that you can do to get rid of that, but Christ has gotten rid of it. That's the Christian religion. And that's not what C.S. Lewis was saying there. And what determines your salvation is one of the most important things that we all need to get right is what determines that. This is from Robert, and he says, Mr. Knight, to reinforce the observations you made in the past, the rich thinking that they can merge with machines. Notice how every cat or dog has a completely different personality, traits, mannerisms, even if they're from the same litter. That's right.

God made all things through Jesus. Every warm-blooded animal is unique. Honda cannot make a robot dog with a unique one-of-a-kind personality. They could make several different models to choose from, but not millions from the beginning. From observation, I noticed this with wild animals in my backyard. From crows to coons, I can spot the same animals each week by their personality. Each one is unique. Even a lot of money and computers cannot do that. That's correct.

We are not simply, as I said before, a lot of these people, they can't answer. What is it about us? What is it? What are we really? We're more than just this body that you know, the body can be there, and yet when we die, something else has happened. We are more than just a collection of electrical signals stored in the brain. There's definitely something else that is there. And of course, we are all very unique, even to the extent, as I pointed out the other day, they're going to start, you know,

the biometric surveillance. They're looking at all these different ways that they can identify us whether it is by our face or by our fingerprints or whether it is by the way that we walk or even the way that we breathe because each of us is so unique that they can look at the turbulence of our breath somehow and make a determination to kind of reverse engineer gives them a picture essentially of what your nasal passages are like or something like that it's unique in the same way that your voice is unique you know what makes your voice unique well it's also the same nasal passages and things like that. Uh, but, um, yeah, when you look at the infinite, uh, variety that is there, and yet at the same time, uh, the commonality of the same design that is there, uh, that is what is truly, truly amazing.

Um, and, uh, so then this was also sent to me as well. Uh, this was the one that just got this morning. This is from Matt. Uh, he said, unfortunately, I didn't know that you were doing an Ask Me Anything last week, so I forgot to send some questions, but I hope you can save these for whenever you do it again. He said, so what denomination of Christianity are you, if any, and where do you go to church? Well, I would say that I would characterize it as a Reformed belief. I'm not necessarily tied to any one denomination.

I go to a church that is Smoky Mountain Bible Church. And I highly recommend the teacher there. He's a great guy. Great guy. What's your advice for someone who was raised Catholic but thinks the Catholic Church is a cult and wants to go back to church. Well, I would say that it's not just the Catholic Church that can put the institution first. Karen was raised Catholic,

and it was kind of a cultural thing with her. And I think the key thing that I look at, and if you say that something is a cult, I don't know what you mean by that, but I would say that the thing that concerns me about a lot of different churches is that they try to make themselves the thing. And you have to do it their way,

and everybody that doesn't do it their way is wrong. We all try to understand what the truth is. We all do our best to try to figure out what the truth is, but it doesn't mean that we've got a monopoly on what is right. And so how do we avoid that? Well, you know, even if somebody is honestly trying to do what they think is right, they think they got the right answer, you aren't going to stand before God and say, yeah, but so-and-so told me this, and I just followed them. Well, you have a responsibility to investigate it on your own.

It's like I said, don't trust anybody, whether you're talking about politics or anything that's important like that. You look it up yourself. Of course, in the Bible, it talked about one town where they didn't just take Paul's word for it or Peter's word for it or some apostles. They actually looked it up. It's become something cliche. The Bereans.

The Bereans would look at this to see if it was actually true. And that's what you need to do. You need to question that. And that's the way you grow. And that's the way you deepen your relationship with God is to actually look at these things and to question them. And so that's what I would say. I would say be careful if there's ever a situation where there's an organization that's trying to interpose itself or something else between you and God, right?

There's one mediator between God and man, and that's Christ. That's what the Bible says. So go to the Bible, make that your standard. There's a lot of different ways that you can have different standards for things. You can have a standard of tradition. You can have a standard of what does the church leader say? You know, like what does Fauci say about science? Well, you know, do your own research about that. So you can have a lot of different things as standards for us as Christians. The Bible is the thing that is there that isn't changing. And so it's an unchanging standard.

What is your advice for men who are single in their 30s but still hope to marry and have a family? Pray about it, especially in this environment. Pray really hard. And I would say, besides prayer, you need to try to make yourself the kind of person that God would give a good wife to, right? Somebody that he can entrust one of his children to your care. Make yourself that kind of man. What do you think happens to people who believe in other religions? Can Jews be saved seeing as they don't believe in Jesus? Well, it was Jesus, as I said before, that said,

I am the way, the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. That's pretty exclusive. And that is the thing that really nobody likes. And the reason for that, as I said before, was because there isn't any other religion that has even a way to, even a theoretical way or whatever, to do something with their sins. Jesus died for our sins.

He died to put us in a position with God where we can then obey him and our obedience is now acceptable. But you've got to do something with that sin. And there's only one that has taken that. Let's see. Last question he's got here. If you were ever going to leave the United States and live in another country, where would you go and why? Well, we looked at going to New Zealand in 1998 because it was very small.

It was very rural rural it was very isolated a lot of people there were some elites that were moving there and uh people were saying well if there's a nuclear war you know the southern hemisphere is going to be a little bit more protected than the northern hemisphere with this stuff all those different types of things but we also wanted to see the place and um so we went to new zealand in 1998 and i uh i'd also read some things about how they had gone really hard into socialism but then they basically bankrupted the economy they had people who were at the at their embassies and other countries like the united states and they couldn't even pay their bills you You know, it got that bad.

But they pointed out it was very small, and so they could make some quick changes and, you know, be nimble about that and made some changes. And so a lot of people were saying, so I think they learned their lesson about socialism. I went down there, and we scheduled to meet with a guy who was essentially the Rush Limbaugh of New Zealand is the way they billed him. But it was some other people who were there with a libertarian group that I found through the libertarian party. So we contacted them. He didn't make it to the meeting. He canceled at the last minute,

but I did meet with the other people. We sat and Karen and I, we were talking to them about which country had the most anti-freedom mentality, and they convinced me that New Zealand did. So, you know, it was a lot of, well, we're not going to let you build a house this high because then you're lording it over other people, and people can't see the scenery because of your house or this or that. Just micromanaged everything to the nth degree. And it's like, okay, you convinced me.

Uh, but, uh, we had a great time down there. We really liked it. Um, but, uh, no, I, I wouldn't, I would not even think about, um, uh, moving. I'm here and, uh, the most conservative, most Bible belt area that I can, that I know of, uh, not to say that others aren't just as good that I can, that I know of, uh, not to say that others aren't just as good, but the ones that I know of, uh, I'm here and, um, and I'm not really into any travel, so I'm not going to be going around looking at any other places. And this is where I plan to stay one way or the other. Uh, we're going to take a quick break and we'll be right back.

Using free speech to free minds. It's the David Knight Show. We got just a little bit of time left. And so while we're talking about some religious issues and things in that nature, I thought this was kind of interesting. There's a guy, I don't know who he is, Jack Hibbs. He's evidently got a big California church, Cavalry Chapel in Chino Hills. And he openly talked about politics, he openly endorsed steve garvey who is running for senate in california and um and endorsed trump and everything so i don't necessarily

share his politics on this as a matter of fact the only thing i've seen about steve garvey was a clip where he said i don't support the republicans on this abortion thing i'm not going to do anything to stop interfere with abortion at the federal level said, um, I don't support the Republicans on this abortion thing. I'm not going to do anything to stop and interfere with abortion at the federal level. And again, even though I don't think that this is a federal issue that needs to be addressed in Washington, um, that's not the reason he gave for it. The reason he gave 40 says, look, I understand people in California like abortion. I'm not going to try to override that. Uh, well, um, anyway, he decided that, you know, know he said it's very important to me

that we understand that god's looking for a candidate that's pro-life well i don't think that's steve garvey uh but anyway whatever he wants to endorse that's up to him but the what the reason this became an issue is because he did it, and now this organization called the Freedom From Religion. From Religion. Is that in the Constitution? Well, no, it isn't. It's a free expression of religion. Whatever religion you have, you are free to do it.

But the Freedom From Religion Foundation is always trying to purge religion, the exercise of religion, out of anywhere that they see it. Tell you what, how about we free ourselves of 99.9% of all the religions and we keep just one around? I'm okay with that. Well, I think the government ought to stay out of it. And I think the exercise of religion is not the establishment of religion. And they get that wrong in the same way that they say freedom from religion. We have freedom of religion. And they get that wrong in the same way that they say freedom from religion. We have freedom of religion. So, you know, just change a couple of words around and

you get a completely wrong answer or a completely right answer depending on which way you're doing it. But here's the key. They're coming after him. And I thought it was pretty amazing when I saw this on Christian Post, I think they had this story. And they said, yeah, look at this. He stepped over the line. He actually talked about politics in church. That is not stepping over the line. And the way they report it, they said, so he says, I want to say publicly right now, today, I encourage all of you to vote for Steve Garvey. You got to vote for Steve Garvey. I realized that it's against the law for me to say that from the pulpit, he says. So he says that and he goes, oh, I just realized it's against the

law. And then they chime in. They say, well, according to U.S. tax code, 501c3 nonprofit organizations are not allowed to endorse or to oppose political candidates unless you are a liberal, in which case a liberal Democrat, in which case, a liberal Democrat, in which case you can go to black churches as much as you want. And, you know, that's not a problem. This whole thing has been settled, by the way. The Alliance Defending Freedom, years ago, it was almost a decade ago, they said, this is not the law.

This is an IRS rule. And this is an IRS rule that stands in direct contradiction to the First Amendment, where we have the freedom to exercise our religion. And that includes us being active in the public square. You see, you got people like Rob Reiner and Mika Brzezinski and all these other Christian nationalists, we've got to intimidate Christians so they don't speak out in the public square. If you can't be a Christian and talk about Christian values and talk about politics at the same time, baloney, baloney.

We have the First Amendment to protect us from that. That is protected speech. And so what they did, the Alliance Defending Freedom, they had what they called pulpit front uh pulpit freedom sunday and they had two or three uh pastors who said we're going to do what he just did we're going to pick some candidates and we're going to openly and defiantly endorse them and they made recordings of that sermon excuse me and they mailed them to the irs and so it was civil disobedience and they said do something about it we'll fight you in court we'll win well the irs didn't do anything about it and so the next year they had a couple of dozen who did it and then it grew and more and

more did it and they did that three consecutive years. And I interviewed a guy from that group to talk about that about a decade ago. They called their bluff. They said, we need to do this on a number of issues. This is about religion, but we need to do that on so many different issues. The government is bluffing on so many of these things. Even when we go to medical marijuana or recreational marijuana, they have no authority to prohibit marijuana or anything else unless they pass a constitutional amendment like they did with alcohol. The 18th Amendment to say we're going to prohibit alcohol.

They needed a constitutional amendment. And everybody, whether they agreed with the prohibition of alcohol or not, agreed that they needed a constitutional amendment to do it. So we got the 18th Amendment and the 21st Amendment made it legal again. Then they said, well, we're going to do this through the Commerce Clause. And they got a whole list of things that they have declared illegal through the war on drugs. And none of it, none of it will hold up to a constitutional case. It's why Jeff Sessions never did anything about the states that were legalizing marijuana, either for medical use or for recreational use.

And they're bluffing people on so many different things. This is not a law. This is something that was in the tax code. And the IRS called it the Johnson Amendment because LBJ, Lyndon Baines Johnson, the Bain of the Constitution, was opposed by some churches or something when he ran for re-election as a congressman. He got angry and he talked to the IRS and he says, I want you to stop these churches from saying anything about politics or political endorsements. So they put it into the tax code. It wasn't even put in by the legislature.

And it's not an amendment to the Constitution. They called it the Johnson Amendment, making it sound like it was an amendment to the Constitution. They're constantly bluffing us on one thing after the other. And we need to stand up to them. And we need to call their bluff. And it's not just on religious issues. It's on all of these issues. Well, thanks for joining us. Thank you,
